“Thank you.” Said the dragon, deadpan, at hearing that it was stupid for him to be a dragon. He leaned back on his haunches and spread his wings, gesturing with his claws as if to say, ‘look right here! one genuine dragon! 100% real!’
“I’m not from here, obviously. I came from the south.” He didn’t say which part of the south. He’d heard that the rest of the dragons, the communities of dragons, came from even further south than he lived, but that wasn’t an important detail to get across right now. “I looked like an elf,” he corrected, “but I’m always a dragon.”
Eric snorted smoke at the thief, pointedly. The kicks didn’t hurt, but he didn’t think he should let them slide, either. This idiot probably still thought that he was obsessed with him, given how hard he kept arguing as if it was utter fact. Eric carefully restrained himself from rolling his entire head again.
“Magic swords are different,” He insisted. “Mind magic doesn’t work on me. Will ‘o the wisp, sirens, mermaids, they can’t hold me in thrall. I can’t be compelled, it doesn’t work like that. Besides, I wouldn’t do anything that would get me hunted by knights in the first place! You’re the one robbing people with magic you can’t control! I was stopping you!” Why the hell didn’t this guy get how wrong and shady it was to walk up to a caravan and start demanding whatever goods he wanted? And a HORSE!
“Even if you can’t control it, you should at least trade for the stuff you ask for. You can’t just rob people!” Why was this so god damn hard? It was a lot easier to convince people of the morally superior path in the stories. Everyone usually just knew. Robbing people was wrong, curse or not!
