Dragon Lady

“I…wouldn’t say intimidating as such, but it definitely looks badass. Like- it’s gonna make for an awesome icebreaker at parties. Or, dates, even. Guys think scars are awesome, right? I mean, dudes in movies are obsessed with them, so…”

“I hope so. I want to look like one of those characters from action movies. Like the ones who look non-threatening and then take off the jacket when they take out a room of people.”

“Wh- I’m sorry, did you say keeping it?”

“Yeah, Like I’m wondering if you think it’s in a badass spot or if it just looks ugly? If it’s badass, I’m up for it.”

“On a scale of one to ten, how badass will this scar look later? I’m debating keeping it or not.”

“Oh, aye. It were one of them big, scary paper-shredders. You know- hobnail boots, lots of tattoos, beats up the stapler for its lunch money.”

“Picturing some studded cuffs and a bad haircut too while we’re at it.”

“I’m gonna’ need her number then. I wanna’ know more, not like for voyeurism, but spiritual enlightenment and shit. My magic teacher says it’s useful to ‘heal yourself’ or whatever.”

“Can’t blame Zatanna for thinking that; you get in more fist fights than I do. I’ve got claws. I’m good. It’s actually helpful stuff though; I just don’t practice it much.”

Unfortunately for you, I never carry a wallet.

Smart for New York walks. Awful every other time.

[Adrienne sighed, clearly trespassing-- though trespassing never bothered her.]

Look, please don’t think I’m insane--Shoo me away if you want-- but... Have you seen a dragon around here?

If you keep staring, I might have to start charging a watcher’s fee.

“Yo, SC, you know anything about tantrism?”

“Not much, honestly.”
