(The Dragon, Angus)
Before leaving, Angus filled a cup for Mikayla and set it before her, leaving the tray within easy reach so she could add whatever she wished to suit her taste. He also brought out the dragon-sized cup, saucer and spoon that Mikayla had magically crafted earlier on a separate cart, leaving it within the dragon's reach. He then turned away discreetly and attended to cleaning up a different part of the room, far enough away to allow them some privacy.
The Dragon sat back on his haunches, picked up the teacup in one claw and began stirring it with the spoon in the other, frowning as he did so.
"I never did thank you, did I? For this?" he said suddenly, his deep voice sending a rumble through the stone floor. He continued to stare at his tea, not looking up. "At least, certainly not enough." Setting the spoon down, he took a long sip from the cup. "This... this reminds me that I was human. That part of me still is, inside at least. I forget that sometimes." He looked over the rim of the cup, his eyes meeting Mikayla's for the first time. "I ask your forgiveness."
- Mikayla -
Mikayla was quiet while Angus set up tea. She had already said enough to him. Enough that angered him and sent him on a nice tear. The problem was she couldn¡¯t remember what she had done or said...Other than the cow/people comment that is, but it was something.
¡°There is no need for forgiveness,¡± Mikayla began as she slid the tray to her so that she could add sugar and honey. ¡°We are still learn each other. I¡¯m sure once the awkwardness fades we settle quite nicely.¡± She said picking up her own tea cup.
¡°And don¡¯t thank me just yet. I am quite bossy and i have several plans to make quite a bit of changes to this place,¡± she said with a teasing smile over the rim of her cup¡±
