I laughed. "Not afraid of dragons, are you?" I asked teasingly. "Last time I measured him a couple of years ago, he was around 20 hands." I smiled. "But I'm pretty sure he's bigger than that now." I smiled at the girl. "Do you want to meet him?"
I laughed taking Lillizs hand and taking her to the barn. I threw the barn doors open and walked in. echoing growls followed as we walked down the rows. I stopped in front of a huge black dragon, taller and bigger than any of the others. "Hey, Knight, how are you?" he looked at me with intelligent eyes.
"I'm glad. A friend wanted to meet you. This is Lilli." I laughed. "He says it's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet him too! He's so big!" She smiled. "Bigger than most. His colour is unnatural. Most are alot lighter. He's very pr-handsome." She corrected herself smiling.
I laughed. "Yeah. He is bigger than most. I like him being big. it makes it more fun to ride." I smiled. "Oh, and he says thank you." I laughed. "Yeah, I like her too." I smiled at Lilli.
Lili smiled and blushed, shuffling her feet. "Hey hey. Lili! Make me grow my biggest! I want to see the size comparison!" Tsune barked.
"Tsune. At your biggest you're probably a horse size. No match for this guy," she smirked and grew him any way. "Told you," she laughed at his upset face.
I laughed. "Yup. There's no match for Knight." I grinned at the dog. "Still afraid?" I asked laughing. knight growled deeply. I laughed as his chuckle rang in my mind.
"My best friend was a dragon ryder and he told me what each growl, snarl, or snort meant." She smiled. "A ride sounds like fun," she looked at the dragon again. It was so amazing...almost like Renie's, just black instead of white.
I smiled. "That's awesome. Let's go." I pulled the dragon out of the stable and saddle him. "Ready to ride?" I asked. Knight snarled and I rolled my eyes. "I'll be doing the driving." I replied.
In short, Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recognize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her. — Kate Chopin, The Awakening
