[Really?] you thought to him. [Yep.] he thought back. Alex for some reason looked down & you noticed something. You feet & legs didn't look like costume legs. They looked like real reptile feet & legs. [Yes we're a real flesh & blood dragon.] he told you. [This is so cool!] you thought excited. "Dragon!" you heard a man yell. You stopped & turned to see a well dressed medieval man. "Yes?" Alex asked the man. "I want to hire you." the man replied. "For what?" Alex asked. "To protect me." the man answered. "From whom?" Alex asked. "General bodyguard work." the man replied. "As a dragon I have no need for wares or money." Alex told the man. "Hmm. True." the man said. [Tell him you'll work for food.] you thought to Alex. "I'll work for food." Alex told the man. "Agreed." the man said with a smile. "I'm Prince Adams of Ekoc." the man said. "And I'm Flame." Alex said bowing. [Wow. A prince.] you thought surprised.
