Catching up the small dragon-ess i suppose, was not exactly the easiest thing i ever done, but after my astonishing discovery of being in need of some more serious physical conditioning, everything worked fine, especially because the fox that attracted her attention was faster then her, thus ending the mad chasing at the vulpine lair
Forced running aside, yesterday evening ended pretty much alright, i decided that returning home may have been too risky, i cannot be sure how people would react in the presence of dragon, no matter how cute and innocent it may look. So, i opted for a cabin one of my friend let me stay in during my field trips, or hiking depend on the mood really
My parents may have been asshole but at least they got money, money that permitted me to open my own shop first, and leaving a far more enthusiast old friend manage it in my place later, luckily people are always in need of electronic devices of some sort, and of other people capable of making them work. I was lucky i guess, the small city i live in lacked a real place where to buy the latest technological gizmos with Competent personal selling it, thus my small fortune was born
Now if i could just but something that give me some measure of willingness to work...i suppose next time. Technically i am on extended vacation, and i should return to work like any-, bullshit, most of my so called friends have rich families of their own, i won't call what they do work, pass the time more like
Anyway i really should, but being your own employer has it's advantage, and i got daily calls from Jeremy anyway, so, yeah
With time not being an issue, and father being none the wiser, i usually enjoy my freedom by devoting myself to my hobbies, which include hiking, which brought me into this mess
"Dada? Hungry"
Of course you are, now returning to the present i find myself in a small problem of not easy solution, despite the mostly quiet night with the small creature staying with me in this chalet, that can snore like legendary size one, has quite the appetite and while i do have some food in the pantry, it won't last long, especially with that black hole she has instead of a stomach, and no way i leave her alone to buy provisions
"A moment will ya, i just need to make a call"
She remain impossibly still for a few moments, then she begin to make a strange acute noise from her mouth
I cover my hears "Stop it! Stop it!"
She obey "Cal ling"
I remove my hands from my ears just in time to facepalm "Hmm, look Halaria, we humans have a more efficient methods fro calling someone over long distances, one that does not require making me deaf"
"Df deaf?"
"Well, yes you see, if i begin screaming n your ea-"
I stop just in time to avoid saying something stupid, not because it's obvious, but because i should have really payed more attention, that or i am humanizing Halaria too much. She does not have in fact, ears. She probably hear me through vibration or something, i am no expert i don't know
"Please don't do it again ok?"
I am not sure she if she is looking at me like i am stupid or just with curiosity, but nonetheless nod
"Good, smoked meat?"
She make a yelp of joy, practically salivating at the word
"I'll get some, stay here" I enforce my instruction with my finger and she nod eagerly
As i walk toward the pantry i mentally prepare myself to contact Eric, the old friend who own this chalet, and to my great amusement until yesterday, a dragon fanatic, he would have given a small fortune just to meet one, the fool
I never understood his ideas-turned-into-obsession as i call them, or curiosity of shit-i-don't-care as he call them, well not shit or...bah, he may very well be one of my best friends, but he has strange ideas that for sure. Anyway, despite my reason telling me that asking him to come here is a Very bad idea, and i must say my reason has probably right, i have no one else i can trust that is not on the other part of the world doing who know what
I sigh "Time to sign my own death warrant, oh well, there are worse way to go then by friend overexcitement i suppose, barely but.."
I already imagine the scene, he coming with an enormous question mark over his head, he see Halaria, he freeze while i run towards the most soundproofed room of the house, then a scream worthy of an 15 year old girl on steroids will be heard in the whole valley and..
"Now, where i left the aspirin?"
