Sleeping Dragon i’m not in love so don’t forget it

something about the stranger was...strange, but ying didn't have the energy to figure out which part of him was most off-putting. she didn't like the idea of taking him up to where she and astaroth had shared their most recent moment of peace, though being around someone trusted did make her more comfortable.

ying thought through the options for a moment, eventually nodding her head for him to follow. someone is up there, she warned, and he knows more about this. she turned over her shoulder as they carefully ascended, making sure he understood the circumstances.
