"...What are you doing?" Benedictis asked me, hesitantly.

"Nothing!" I quickly replied, lying through my sharp teeth.

"Antonio...Is that a baby dragon?"

"...Mayyyybeeee?"

Benedictis sighed and looked as if death was coming straight at him. I looked down at the baby dragon I had recently kidnapped from the rainbow room and then back at benedictis.

"We have to return it." He said.

"No," I responded.

"Yes."

"No," I huffed, agitated. I went through a lot of trouble to get this baby dragon Benny-Ben-Ben. You can't have him.

"Yes-Ugh, we are returning it, Antonio!" Benedictis made to grab the blue and green-scaled little thing clinging to me so I ran.

"Antonio!" He hollered after me, his steps loud and heavy.

"You can't have Cyan! I hatched him! He's mine!"

"What do you mean you hatched him?!"

"I mean, I saw him break out of a shell, and then he just glomped on me like I was a--Hey! Benedictis! Let us down!" I yelped indignantly.

"Damnit, Antonio. A fucking dragon?!"

"...What's wrong with a dragon?"

"SO MANY THINGS, Antonio!"

Ah.

I dropped the dragon.

"Shit--Ben, let me down! I dropped the fucking dragon!" I yelled, scrambling to get down.

"How do you drop a dragon?" He asked, but still let me down.

"I don't know, okay?! He just...fell..out of my hands! It's your fault, anyway!"

"No, it isn't." He responded, looking around for something.

"What are you looking for, you dung-beetle?" I snapped, cradling the whimpering tiny tot to my chest.

Poor baby.

It's only been three hours since its birth and I've already dropped it. I dread the future.

"I'm looking for...Ah, found it. This way." He said before grabbing my arm and directing me towards a salmon-colored door.

Great.

"This isn't where I found him," I informed him.

"I know." He muttered.

Hope bloomed in my chest, "So we can keep him?" I asked.

Benedictis decided that silence was the best answer.

We're totally keeping Cyanide. It's decided.

I made a sound of glee and planned to grab Valerian and tophat to host a baby shower, but before I could Benny-Ass-Bastard that he is, opened the salmon-colored door and shoved me in. He shoved. Me. In.

And then shut the door behind me.

And now I can't leave this realm.

Damnit.

At least I found a castle. Even if it's not Hogwarts, I'm sure there's a potion room in the dungeon. Or maybe an alchemist's arena. or whatever they call an alchemist's casting lair. Hmm.

I wonder If I'll ever find some humans and non-selkie people.

I hope not.

I can see that not working out well for me.
