In the morning it was time for her grandmother’s lizards to be moved and there was a great deal of frenetic activity resulting from a young drake deciding that it was time to be inquisitive and making a break for freedom. Bethany retrieved

Moar, please?

ETA: taking cuttings or digging up roots of every single dragon lizard related plant on the farm -- some of which require licenses to grow, IIRC, which Bethany probably doesn't hold herself if her grandmother has been keeping her from getting properly licensed as a dragon lizard breeder. Or maybe the licenses were for the farm rather than the breeder, and Lord Korne has such for his estate?

I third the motion for moar!

Let's see, fascinating to find out her parents are noble - this is, not quite a theme, but a recurring trope with you and I enjoy it.
I wish I could write overbearing matriarchs half as well as you and I may very well try.
I want to know more about these dragonets.

Aside from the head clutching?

He doesn't care about the not being received at Court, because he never was but she could adversely affected his career...

[tuftears]

Always read the fine print. :)

[rix_scaedu]

Especially when it's pointed out to you!

[kunama_wolf]

Ha.
Is this the 6000+ word piece you've been trying to slavedrive yourself to write?
It needs an entry on your landing page.

[rix_scaedu]

It is and it does. Particularly as there are now three stories in this world.

[kelkyag]

Three? There's the earlier one about these characters, and ... which other?

[rix_scaedu]

There's the one about the mage who needs to start looking for a new familiar.
