The Dragon Woman

And what are these “other things”?

That nibbling thing you just adore. Or I could sit on your lap and pout and beg until you cave.

I’ve known you far too long to be fooled by words like those, dove.

Let me soothe your frustrations with other things than words..

I need not to explain myself to you. Your king?I know what you’re doing and its not going to work.

What have I ever done but live and breathe to please you, my sweet?

I disagree.

And on what terms, my king?

You will not talk to me with such disrespect, Celeste.

Hardly disrespect.

Don’t patronize me.

I'll do what I damn well please, Mitri.

That won’t be a problem, but do try to keep it down this time. Don’t want to wake the whole castle.

Oh yes, sir.

I was so sure that lesson would have stuck. Perhaps you need a refresher.

Perhaps you should hit harder this time.

Toys? I’m sure you remember what happened that last time you forgot your place.

Maybe I've forgotten.

Do you intend to scare away all of my suitors, dove?

Why let them even touch my toys?

And what happens if another woman finds her way to my bed?

Ooh then she'll have to find her way home with no legs.

I had no idea that you owned me.

Your ignorance allowed another woman to your bed. Lucky you. Now you know. 

Liar.

You should have told the ancient woman that you belonged to me. 

Mmm..You might be right, can’t say I asked her to read to me.

You disgust me, I'm never kissing you again.

No, I couldn’t.

I bet that old hag couldn't read a scroll if she tried.

You would never do that, you need me just as much as you think I need you.

You do. You can't read books to your damned self at night without me, child.
