Update 9
Not much to say here, did some training, got a new recruit.
The Rejected
Romance
Camir hated her so much, how she made herself a nuisance in petty little ways. Every day there was another inconvenience they would have to deal with because of her. It was kind of frustrating for everyone. Everyone, that is, but Ramach. He couldn’t help it, her mischievousness, her stubbornness, her massiveness, all of it delighted him and he frequently found himself watching her go about her day-to-day task of making Camir suffer. She was just so big, she could crush him without even noticing that she had done so. And her scales were so vibrant, glittering silver flecks of stars on a background of twilight night. He was nothing compared to her, and yet it felt like she was everything to him.
Ramach started to leave gifts out for her, little hampers of seafood, pretty trinkets he’d picked up on his missions. Little things like him, tokens of affection that reminded him of her. It was a cold day, one where your breath steamed with every exhale, when Ramach left his newest present. He shivered with the chill, vibrated his wings to try and keep his body temperature up, and silently slid the basket besides the sleeping Ridgeback. He tried to slip away like he’d done all the times before, as stealthily as he could manage, but this time a voice stopped him. “So you’re the one leaving me gifts.”
Ramach sheepishly turned back to Loa, her head was resting on the ground and yet it was so big he would have to stretch up on his back legs to touch her eye ridges. “Uh… yes… I… uh.”
Loa chuckled with a smile and glanced at the basket, “Azurites and Violets?”
“They’re pretty... like you.”
Loa was taken aback by that and she cocked her head, before her smile turned to a grin, “Didn’t think I’d find a gentledragon in this den of swindlers, and yet I’ve not only found one, but one who’s as beautiful as spring blossoms and autumn leaves. Thank you for the gifts, Ramach.”
((I have to admit, randomly rolling and getting the smallest and the largest dragons in the challenge for the romance drama made me very happy. All Ramach wants is a giant woman.
Also, I am rapidly running out of space for more dragons, so I think I may fudge the rolls a little and reroll 1, 2, 4 and 8s, just so we have the chance of thinning out the staff, at least until I can buy more expansions. After all my breeding project comes first, this is just a fun way to grind the coliseum.))
