Sleeping Dragon daybreak

She keeps things quiet on her end, but he knows she's listening and not seeming too bothered by him. He takes this as a good sign, and while he turns his attention towards freshening a spot of a marking, he doesn't say anything else either for a good little while. But, it is a silence he spends contemplative for more reasons than only the scents at play here.

After rejoining her immediate side, he decides he has to go on. "How did you come to join the dragon?" he asks suddenly, leaving his tone light and inquistive. He has wondered if she has been here from the very beginning of the smoldering mountain's claim. Always, to him, she has appeared as if she knows her way around. He'd realized that before, and now remains only further proof and it has him curious -- if she'd indulge him with an answer, of course.
