My chat with Prince Remy and Talen Dragniss, along with dragon Kip
“Hello. Prince Remy, let us start with you. Tell us about yourself.”
“What is there to tell? I am the son of a hated king. I am pathetic. Unlovable.”
“Plenty of people love you. Maybe if you weren’t such a spoiled brat, they would more.”
“Don’t pay her mind. She is sour because our fathers threw a ball in an attempt to get us together.”
“As if I would ever be persuaded to marry you.”
“No, no. Not when your heart already belongs to the Marksman.”
(Talen slaps Remy’s arm)
“This Marksman, do you either of you want to explain further on that?”
“What for? You want to see her swoon? (Talen slaps him again) Do that again, subject, and you will lose your hand.”
“And you think this inspires me to love you and marry you? Threatening me?”
(I look down at Kip) “I feel sorry for you. Humans are strange creatures.”
“Don’t talk to my dragon.”
“He’s not your dragon.”
“He bonded with me. He hears me and I hear him.”
“I can hear his voice too.”
(Talen quiets her rage) “You really do? (Remy nods) We should probably go. We are on a quest to free my father.”
