3rd Person POV

 Wriothesely woke up to something shifting beside him. His instincts kicked in and within just a second he was ready to strike when-

 A hand covered his eyes, followed by a low growl.

 "Don't move."

 That voice...

 He recognized that voice, which let him calm down.

 For just a second, that is.

 After that, a blush crept up his neck with incredible speed.

 Neuvillette!

 He had transformed back.

 Neuvillette was here.

 In his bed.

 In his human form.

 Archons!

 Wriothesely would have loved to find a hole to jump into at the moment.

 "Neuvillette-"

 "Listen to me, Wriothesely. I need you to do three things for me."

 The Duke was stunned for a moment by the authoritative tone that seemed to waver but eventually nodded.

 "One, don't move. Two, keep your eyes closed. And three..."

 The dragons hesitated for a bit before spitting out:

 "Tell me where my clothes are."

 Silence fell in the room.

 If there was one thing Wriothesely currently wished for, it was to be killed right that instant.

 'Oh, good god!' He thought.

 Neuvillette-

 Neuvillette was likely-

 "Are you-"

 "Yes, I am completely bare and I would like that to change as fast as possible." The dragon growled.

 Wriothesely had one problem though.

 "They're in my office."

 "What?"

 "Your clothes. They're in my office."

The hand covering his eyes retreated, but the Duke didn't dare open them even just slightly.

 It was then that he remembered Neuvilltte's ability to teleport and freaked out.

 "Don't-"

 Without thinking he had sat up and opened his eyes to hold back the other but-

 He closed them back up in an instant.

 "Wiothesely...!"

 "I didn't see anything!"

 Well, that wasn't exactly true, but at least he didn't see anything below a certain point.

 "What's the meaning of-"

 "You can't teleport over! Lady Furina and Sigewinne are there!"

 The dragon's hand, which he was still holding, twitched within his grasp.

 "They are..."

 "Yes, they are in my office!" He repeated.

 Another bout of silence came, this time not breaking for a long while.
