i'm waking up to ash and dust

I know I am, but what are you?

Tall, dark and handsome.

Oh really? Are there any other ways you guys plan on being benevolent? 

Can’t spoil everything, Red.

You’d know if you had a single cool bone in your body.

Cute.

Va’ fa Napoli.

Why’re you speaking Italian?

Only them? Good to know. 

Yup. We’re pretty benevolent if I do say so myself.

I find it pretty hard to be afraid of anyone whose butthole I’ve seen. For the record? Yours looked weird.

Do you seriously think your opinion of me matters?

Aubrey doesn’t have much in order right now, that much is abundantly clear.

Then tell me how this works, exactly. Clearly you gain something from taking my dad. Something you couldn’t get from him despite his support for you. Whatever it is, I hope he never gives it to you.

You sound upset with him.

That’s never going to fucking happen.

So you’re punishing him for my actions? Is that how all of this works now? Keep it up and you’re not going to have anyone to rule, except probably Aubrey. 

You underestimate us. Aubrey.... Aubrey... is he the angry little bear? He’s got his priorities in order, I’ll give him that much.

Too easy? God, you’re terrible at this. He was on your side. You kidnapped someone who would have gladly supported your cause, and pissed off a lot of shifters in the process. And you aren’t even trying to negotiate anything with me?

If he was anything like you, he didn’t have a backbone. He would’ve run away too. Anyways, you misunderstand the purpose of this: there is no negotiation.  But if you want to come back in town and happily declare yourself a follower of our plans, you’re more than welcome to.

What’s the point? Are you just trying to cause chaos? 

That’s simplistic. You should give us more credit.

Sounds good to me, see you in a few then?

You’ve got yourself a plan, little witch.

Since when do you kill people for not doing things? You bring justice on those who fight us, or oppose us, not those on our side that you deem not good enough. You’re not judge, jury, or executioner. You’re a pest.

Tiny, I don’t need your permission to do anything. Those witches were traitors and double crossers and cowards — they weren’t “our side” anymore. You’re right, I’m none of those things. But I’m a dragon. That means more than anything you could ever call me. So tread carefully, rabbit, or you might join your little witchy friends.
