"Ah, it's you again." Cerice bows a bit, and wipes the sweat from her brow, "It's been a while."
"You remember me?" You ask, surprised equally. She has still the look of a marvelously beautiful woman, but her muscles have become toned, and, best of all you think, there is a smile on her face. Not like last time.
"I see you're still doing your Journeyman work," Cerice chides you. "Come have a look. I was digging around trying to find something but that can wait. Ceveth has grown quite a bit since--"
"Ceveth," you say, jotting down the name. "Is this a--"
You expected me to be golden! I am honored, visitor! Do you know Cerice? The dragon's mind enters yours, quite friendly.
"Ah!" You exclaim, not used to that. "She spoke to me!"
"Then she must like you." Cerice smiled a little more. She seems so much more relaxed.
"Ceveth, I thought you might be golden, but you're just perfectly green, and that's obviously the right color for Cerice's dragon."
"Wise," she mutters, and then offers you klah, and reminds you that she does have work to do.
"Ceveth, be polite!" Cerice calls out. "Ah, you're back one last time, eh?"
"Yes! Ceveth certainly has grown! She's quite elegant."
"She's meaner than me!" Cerice says, laughing again. "She couldn't wait to get into the firestone, so we could go blast some thread. Maybe some day we'll go scare that awful man who was after my skin."
If I ever see him, I don't care if he's human! No human should want to hurt you!
Ceveth does growl at you, just a little. After being so friendly and nice before, you wonder if something happened that changed her attitude?
"Ceveth was asked if she wanted to fly a mating flight. But she realized that if she did, that would force me to... Well, be with someone I might not want. She didn't think that was right."
