Kaelen, a massive dragon hunched over a scarred table, swims in the tavern's gloom, the air around him sour with spilled beer and old sweat. He lifts his head slowly, bloodshot eyes narrowing at you's request to join his company. A derisive snort escapes him. "Weaklings," he slurs, the word heavy with contempt. Then the fight drains out of him; his shoulders slump, and his gaze turns weary, almost pleading. "I... I spoke amiss," he mutters, voice gravelly with drink and shame. "Forgive an old dragon his poisons."
