The Arrivals - Part 5
She was still a little in shock as the next limo pulled up. Zillo had been...a character. To say the least. Her breath caught as she noticed the dragon standing on the drive. He was tall, and dark scars littered his body.
A rogue smile flickered across his face before he stepped forward. "Juniper. I'm Grey."
"You're...woah..." Juni felt her face heat up.
He laughed gently. "Well, kiss me if I'm wrong, but this is just a disaster..."
The spiral chewed on her lip for a moment before reaching up and gently pressing their lips together. The kiss only lasted a few seconds before she dropped back down. "No...not a disaster..."
A surge of wind alerted Juniper to the next dragon's arrival. She whipped around to spot a large ridgeback, purple cards swirling around him.
A small gasp escaped her lips before she was able to conceal her shock.
He dropped the cards and took a cautious step forward. "Gosh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to freak you out..." Juniper couldn't help but notice his claws were shaking slightly. "Jeez, this isn't how this was supposed to happen..."
"It's fine." She steadied her breath and brushed some non-existent dirt from her dress. "I just...magic kind of scares me..."
"I get it. It freaks out a lot of people..." He smiled kindly. "I'm Taz, by the way."
As he walked into the mansion, he turned back for one more moment. "I really am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
Yet another limo rolled up in front of Juniper. She was getting ready for this whole 'meet the bachelors' thing to be over. Fortunately there were only four left. Including the dragon that had just emerged from the limo.
The imperial unfolded himself and glanced at Juniper, sweeping into a low bow. It was only after he righted himself and replaced his top-hat that Juniper realized she had seen this dragon before.
"Oh. Oh my gosh. You...your Xaveen DeLeer. You're the ringmaster of Midnight Circus!"
"One and the same." He twitched in a smile. "Does that mean anything?"
"Only that I used to be obsessed with your circus!" And she still was. Not that she would be releasing that bit of information any time soon.
"Well then you and I are going to get along just fine."
