Arrow Lake Eel in the Water and She-Wolf I'll Be

It did not occur to Wraen that Talos had a very good reason to reject the "head chopping" idea, because as far-fetched the story already was, you could still argue that no one had any proof that it was a lie. Now, if you added some material proof - like the dragon's head - a different story entirely. 

But the kid had caught on and was spinning the yarn herself so well that she did not dare to interrupt the wannabe dragonslayer. The accent was a little hard to follow, but she managed and nodded approvingly. This was good. Really, really good. There was a spark of genius here, she could not deny that. 

"Wonderful," she praised the girl, when she got to the point, where the big dragon was about to get scared. "Now, I would love to sit here all day and continue the tale, but - unfortunately - I have a pack to return to. However - let's make a deal, we meet up some other time and you tell me your legend to the end. You are so good at it, that I have no doubt - it will be awesome in every way," she said, getting to her feet and shaking her coat. 

"A deal?" she asked, just before going.

Thank you - this was lovely!
