You stood, arms crossed, trying to maintain your composed and dignified demeanor. But then, Azhdaha's hands suddenly found their way around your waist, pulling you against his broad chest. His towering presence and firm grip enveloped you completely, making it difficult to ignore the situation.

You sighed, attempting to pry Azhdaha’s hands off your waist. His grip was strong but not forceful, leaving you stuck between frustration and amusement at his antics. His confusion only grew as he peered down at you, his horns gleaming faintly in the light.

"Did you gain weight?" Azhdaha asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity, as if he had just discovered a new mystery.

Your eyes widened in disbelief, heat creeping up your neck. You quickly twisted in his grasp, trying to face him, but his hands remained firm. "What?!" you blurted out, startled by the unexpected question.

Azhdaha blinked, tilting his head as if he truly didn’t understand why you were so flustered. "You feel heavier than usual," he continued, as though it were the most innocent observation in the world.

You sighed, exasperated, your tail swishing in mild annoyance. "No, Azhdaha, I have not gained weight. What nonsense are you spouting this time?" You attempted once more to free yourself from his hold, but he was far too large and strong for your efforts to make much of a difference.

He blinked again, his furrowed brow indicating he was still puzzled. "Hmm, perhaps I misjudged. Maybe you’ve been neglecting your training," he mused.
