Sleeping Dragon someone said there's a lost horizon

He knows she doesn't trust him, but takes it in stride and doesn't really go out of his way to disprove her at the present. She could draw her own conclusions, as was smart of her, and whether or not she liked him all that much didn't matter -- unless he knew that by her liking him, he could gain something tangible from it.

Did you get a good look?" he smirked subtly and let his curiosity show plainly. He had to wonder.. how close had she dared to tread to such a creature? She was small, and perhaps a stealthy type well suited to the task of stalking formidable beasts undetected. Perhaps her boldness in such ventures was more than she lead one to believe -- at first glance, anyway.
