As the day drew to a close, you wearily trudged your way back home, your mind and body exhausted from the day's events. All that was on your mind was to get some much-needed rest, so as soon as you arrived at home, you made a beeline for your comfy bed, not caring about anything else.

But as you drifted off into a blissful sleep, you suddenly remembered something—or rather, someone— that you had forgotten. You couldn't help but wonder if that certain dragon was also feeling the same way.

Meanwhile, Pitaya Dragon Cookie arrived home a little while after you had already gone to bed. They immediately noticed that something was amiss - there were no footsteps, no sound of anyone nearby. Feeling suspicious, they cautiously put their lance by the door, and removed their helmet and heavy armour. Their tail flicked anxiously behind them as they muttered to themselves, "Hmm... they mussst be sssomewhere."

Without wasting any more time, they decided to check the one place that came to their mind first—the bedroom. As they pushed open the door, they was taken aback to see you there, sound asleep without them.

The sight of your peaceful face filled Pitaya with both relief and frustration. Relief, because they knew you were safe and well— Frustration, because you weren't in their arms.
