Later that night...

"And so... this is your room," Echo told Hiro and his pet dragon, Nico, showing them to a large bedroom.

The walls were painted a dark shade of blue, and the curtains were made of heavy velvet, casting shadows across the room.

Nico jumped down from Hiro's shoulder and begins to explore the room. He sniffs around the various objects in the room and occasionally jumps up to investigate something higher up.

"Oh. It's... erm... cosyyyyyyy............ Never had royalty here before?" Hiro asked, walking into the bear room.

"It's one of the biggest bedrooms here, you ungrateful brat!" Echo roared, skin burning up to cause steam to fizzle from her.

"Ah, well. I suppose I can make do," Hiro muttered with his arms behind his head, looking completely unfazed.

Echo slammed the door behind her, making Hiro jump in surprise, immediately turning to face her.

"Listen! If you're going to join our family, there are a few things I want to discuss with you!" Echo said, her sharp gaze piercing Hiro's soul.

"Y-yes??" Hiro stuttered, sitting on the bed as if by command.

"First of all, I don't want you using dragons for your personal schemes! They're not your damn servants; they're creatures of another world! Using young dragons like that is straight-up manipulation! You'll start a war if you're not careful!!" Echo lectured him, her voice rising with each word.

"Hey, they were dragons we tamed in the village; I didn't manipulate them!!" Hiro protested.

"Did their parents consent?!" Echo questioned.

"....... no..." Hiro admitted with a sulk, his shoulders slumping.

"That's what I thought. A bunch of children playing naive games," Echo grunted.

Suddenly, Nico jumped back down from exploring the room, accidentally knocking over a vase, causing it to shatter on the ground.

"Ah!" Hiro panicked, rushing over to Nico, who looked up at him innocently. Hiro chuckles and picks up the baby dragon, holding him close.

"You're lucky you're cute, little guy," Hiro giggled.

Echo, on the other hand, is less amused.

"Great, now we have to clean that up. This is exactly why I didn't want a dragon in the house. I suggest you get rid of him, " Echo mentioned, her voice cold and stern.

"Relax, he's just a baby. He's not going to do any real damage," Hiro claimed, holding the dragon by its stomach as he pat his head.

The dragon burped a bit of fire, which sparked at the curtains and set them ablaze!!

"Ughhh!!!" Echo grunted in frustration.

She quickly used her ice magic to freeze the curtains then melt the ice with a ray of sunlight.

"Happy now? Now you don't get curtains! AND your bed is wet!" Echo emphasised in great frustration.

"Well, that's nothing we haven't fixed before," Hiro said in a silly voice more to his dragon.

"Get rid of the pet!!!" Echo demanded.

"Hey! He's not my pet! I gained his trust! We share mutual respect, ok?! He's my best friend! You can't tell me to get rid of my best friend!" Hiro argued, being very protective over Nico.
