Somehow, the situation continue to spiral into unforeseen levels of out of control. He caught the thief, sure, but instead of giving up right there or trying to fight him, like a sensible villain, he just kept accusing him of… of things! Things he hadn’t even done yet, but apparently the guy thought he was going to do! He didn’t know what, exactly, was expected of him in this situation, but the rotten feeling in his gut was growing much faster than he knew what to do with, further irritated by the itch at the back of his scalp where all those stares had lodged into his brain.
He was quickly getting furious. He hadn’t felt like this since he was a hatchling.
“Would you stop that?” He snarled, flames licking the back of his tongue and flashing out the sides of his jaws before he could swallow them down with visible effort. “I swear, you’re more annoying than a whole damn cloud of mosquitos. What are you even accusing me of? All I’m doing is trying to stop you from robbing those people and you just keep looking at me like- like I’m going to eat you!”
He spat that out as if it were unthinkable, even as he thought with guilt about all the other stories about dragons he’d heard. Some people looked at him like that. Disgust, fear. Until they got to know him! Until they understood that he was good, really, just like them! This man, though. He’d been looking at him like that the entire time, even before he grew scales. Just what had he seen in him?
“You’re not making any damn sense,” Eric grumbled, almost to himself. “Why are you so convinced something else is going to show up?”
