I know how it sounds, [ she says after swallowing, looking about as put upon as she feels. ] I wish I was joking.
[ She's been awake nearly a year and has had time to adjust to the idea of dragons, at least as far as miniature ones or the understanding that they once roamed El Nysa in the past. They aren't just myth and legend here, although there is a distinct overlap in how fantastical the world is, but rooted in history and the foundation of the native culture β particularly to the south, in Wyver.
