We both just started at each other for a moment, I was ready to bound in the air at the first sign of hostility, i reprimand myself for in my haste to get to water i failed to scan the area and now...

We continued to stare at each other and I noticed he had the same shade of green eyes that I had, he also looked younger and shorter than the humans i had seen, so I assumed he was only a dragonling...  Erm i mean boy.

Strangely he didn't look at me with anger and hate. only curiosity  and a touch of awe? But that couldn't be humans wanted us dead i reminded my self and begin to leap in to the air,  when the boy called wait!

I lowerd my self and glanced surprised at him, yes? I asked cautiously,  the boy looked shocked,  Y-You can talk!? He stammered.

Well obviously, why wouldn't I be able to? I asked confused.   I guess there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to talk but just I never thought about it, the boy replied,

I've never seen a dragon what are you doing here? the boy asked curiously,  anger flared in me he was a human shouldn't he know? 

Humans destroyed my home and killed who knows how many of my clan! And for no reason! I snarled at the boy, a bit of smoke steaming  out of my nose.

The boy's eyes widened and he took a step back.  I'm sorry I didn't know, he said sounding Genuine.

unsure rather to believe him or not I changed the subject. What are you  doing  out here? Is anyone else with you?

No, the boy answered I'm by myself... And I was hunting, I work at the butchers so my job is to hunt,  and well this was my first time going out so far and I got lost.

I silently wondered what a butcher's was I assumed maybe something to do with food since he said hunt, i felt a touch  of sameness for the boy so he was lost too.

How long have you been lost?  A few days he replied

Suddenly my mission jumped back into my mind. Well I have to go goodbye... I begin to rise unto the air. Let me come with you! Please!

I sighed if I don't let him come with me he might die if I do he might attack me but I could probably get away in time.    Fine, I say giving in.
