Nobody was surprised when you and Pitaya ended up taking Snapdragon Cookie in after everything that happened. Pitaya was the only one who could understand Dragontongue, and Snapdragon Cookie had grown fond of you both. They were still really young, someone had to care for them. That being said, you had somewhere to be, meaning you had to leave two dragons at home. Unsupervised.

... Yeah, not happening. You had just suggested calling a babysitter when Pitaya bristled.

"What did you sssay?" Did you just imply that Pitaya Dragon Cookie couldn't keep a young dragon alive and well for a couple of hours? How dare you.

Pitaya stopped you before you could take it back, their tail flicking behind them in agitation. "No, no. I sssee how it is. You don't think a DRAGON could care for another one of itsss own. Call whoever you please then." Pitaya was going to make this a big deal. They didn't want to trust a stranger with Snapdragon Cookie. They wanted YOU to trust THEM.
