When Dealing With Dragons Quotes

“I’d further explain we have fourteen rescued dragons in total. Those four Rhinoridges. An old mated pair of copper Sprinters, my parents’ first dragons and the catalyst for how they met. My girl Daphine, the only Ocean Swooper, a water dragon three times larger than your average Sprinter. Seven Skidders, who are wyverns, not dragons, but still tin plated. Thus, still in need of help when the whole group was found completely descaled and left for dead outside Hardsill, three hundred miles north of here.
And that’s the rescued dragons. We also have caves full of Feylings, bat-sized beauties who feast on bugs at night and dazzle the sky in twinkling light to attract said food source. We also have a school of wild Ocean Swoopers who Daphine sometimes swims with. And one grumpy enormous Tree Slinger, who hangs out in the woods farther inland and is smart enough to stay within the property.”

Her eyebrows jump again before she reins herself in. She smooths down Hort's scales. "I was mainly saving Hort. You just got lucky." She turns to the barn and strides forward again, short blonde hair swishing over her shoulder. I can't help laughing at her lie because if there is one thing I know about Farren Walsh, she's caring— for dragons and people alike. Here, I'll be safer than I've ever been. My heart though? That's yet to be seen.”
