"Well, I've delivered my message, so I'm going to go away now. Goodbye," says Liselen. He wobbles off into the forest.

[whatamithinking]

"Poor dear."

[pythbox]

"Where can I find your Bondmate?" inquires Saravasse.

[endragoned]

[pythbox]

"Well?"

[endragoned]

He laughs and points in a direction.

[pythbox]

Off she flies.

[whatamithinking]

"Are you going to be, um, distracted then?"
Do not think about it. Don't think about any of it, it won't end well.

[endragoned]

The Endarkened shrugs. "Not especially."

[whatamithinking]

"Okay."
Is she blushing? Fuck, she's blushing, isn't she.
Don't think about it Edie.

[endragoned]

"Why?"

[whatamithinking]

"It would have been--awkward--to talk to you, if you were...sufficiently preoccupied by what I suspect is going to be going on shortly."
Stupid telepathic powers not working on yourself so she can't tell her brain to send the extra blood out of her face where it doesn't belong.

[endragoned]

He shrugs.

[iamnotpolaris]

Emily is keeping a perfectly straight face.
But on the inside, she is mocking her sister mercilessly.
'I'm sorry, what was that about me thinking someone was cute?'

[whatamithinking]

'I didn't say anything, it's not my fault if you decide I think you have a crush on someone.'

[iamnotpolaris]

'You did, though.'

[whatamithinking]

'I didn't say anything and it is completely unfair to try to take revenge for it.'

[iamnotpolaris]

'I promise you I would still be doing this just as much if we'd never met Sivath.'

[whatamithinking]

'That doesn't help, you...'
"Speaking of dragons and--things--apparently some kind of bottleneck occurred while you were alone on this island."

[endragoned]

"Is that why," vague gesture after Saravasse?

[whatamithinking]

"Yyyyep. Apparently one dragon named Ancaladar is now the sole living male ancestor of almost all the other dragons. And the only female dragon who's not one of his descendants almost died recently."

[endragoned]

"A problem my beloved will be happy to help solve."

[whatamithinking]

"I had, um, guessed. I was actually wondering, though--you changed the entire ecosystem of this island to support your dragon. Would it be possible to introduce more diversity to the current dragon genome like that?"

[endragoned]

"I am... much better with plants than animals. And I have never tried to use my magic on a dragon in this way. I do not know."

[whatamithinking]

"Well, something has to change. Dragons don't die very often, apparently, but as small a gene pool as they seem to have isn't indefinitely viable."
