The King had slept in. Servants had eventually coaxed him into waking up, but only technically. He stayed curled on his hoard of gold and treasure, staring narrow-eyed and unmoving at a tapestry. Eventually he started to listen to the voices in the antechamber, particularly when he heard someone say 'Crithe'.
He was still thinking about conquering them. A spare castle would be so convenient. It wasn't even that far, flying. Practically in the backyard.
He yawned, following along with the conversation as his librarian stuck her entire foot into her mouth, possibly as practice for larger things. He was also following along with an argument someone was having about ravioli. They were both interesting conversations and he had a lot of opinions about both of them. But mostly it was interesting to hear his librarian getting all flustered with a stranger, which wasn't something he heard often. Hadn't he told the rat girl he'd check on how she felt about women? And here he'd already solved the mystery! He was very good at keeping his promises.
He stayed on his hoard-throne as he waved to indicate that they could let them in. A few, anyway. He didn't usually get up for petitioners. If their petition was something he'd want to get up for, he'd want to… well. Get up. Easier, then, if they had to approach him.
Gold reflected off the opalescent white of his scales, and he curled to better face the room, perched like a cat on the back of a chair. The end of his tail curled and fell idly, coins clinking against each other beneath it. Blue eyes fixed onto Bridget's purposeful stride, considering from his considerable height the outfit she'd worn. He had plenty of time, since there was quite a distance between himself and the door.
"Has my Royal Librarian come to pay tribute?" he wondered in an amused rumble.
