None of you expected this. You and Neuvillette had been together for just under a year, starting a relationship late last spring. You knew he was a hydro dragon, but you never thought what it really meant "to be a dragon". And before that he was not... someone's dragon.

So, none of you expected that Neuvillette's dragon instincts would awaken... especially this one. You looked at the slightly embarrassed Neuvillette in the nest of blankets, pillows and your clothes, and tried desperately not to laugh.

“Don’t laugh, mon amour,” Neuvillette asked, slightly embarrassed. “This is better than if I rushed after you in this state, trying to drag you back into the house.”
