Larksong Grotto Train Wreck

it was actually going to be a bear, one the size of a mountain. dragons didn't exist, she didn't want to put that nonsense in their heads. she wasn't even sure who told them about dragons-- maybe nova, she was usually the one who babysat. but, she didn't want to disrupt the story, so she nodded. "a god-dang dragon!" she exclaimed, mashing her teeth together in order to further illustrate her story. "it was HUGE! like, the size of a mountain--" using that reference regardless "-- and had these awful teeth! they were so frickin' sharp! but i wasn't afraid. you wanna know why?" she asked them, eyeing each child  carefully before continuing.

"cause i'm cool as heck, and also the strongest warrior in the whole wide world. nothin' scares me," she told them with a wide, toothy grin. taking this moment in for a brief second, she decided to use this for Tapat's benefit. "nothin' scares me, so nothin' should scare you two. no matter what imma be here for you both, and i'll fight anything that gets in your way. ain't nothin' in this world that would get past me, nothin' would ever harm you." yeah, watch someone else fuckin try something, she added to herself.
