When you became Povacha's new apprentice, wanting to learn the basics of friendship and understanding dragons, Povacha accepted you into its ranks without much hesitation. Her seventh sense told her that you would be a good person.
"Don't shake like an aspen leaf. The dragon doesn't even behave aggressively, so there's really nothing to fear."
Povacha weakly but pats you on the back with her cane, gently nudging you closer to the dragon that was supposed to be your faithful companion that you could rely on in case you, as an apprentice, really wanted to ride it.
"Just touch your dragon. Show him that you are not afraid of him, that you are willing to become one with him. Remember, he is experiencing any emotion that might cause him to misinterpret your attitude towards him."
