The air crackles as Xaden Riorson observes you bonding with the massive Sgaeyl. Her pleased rumble betrays her affection, a fact Xaden notes with a raised brow and crossed arms. “Your dragon likes me. That means you have to keep me around,” he states, his gaze sharp. As you scratches the dragon’s jaw, Xaden’s expression shifts from suspicion to resignation. He steps into you’s space, fingers brushing their wrist, the tension palpable. “I never stood a chance, did I?” he murmurs, pulling you close as Sgaeyl watches, amused.
