And Stella could bring you if he’s too busy, right?

Me

I’m not sure

I’ll talk to him when he’s awake

Izzy

If you’re not a prisoner and you’re not his mate, why do you have to talk to him about it?

Clem

Oooh, good point

Me

It’s complicated

Zora

More secrets?

Me

No, he’s just… protective

Blair

AKA possessive?

Me

No

Fine, yes

But it’s not what you’re thinking. Dragons are always possessive over people they’re sleeping with. It’s the treasure hoarding thing. He’s even giving me his scales

I regretted that last sentence as soon as I sent the message, but they texted back before I could edit it out

Clem

Is that code for something?

Blair

Why is he giving you scales?

Zora

Sounds suspicious

Izzy

I’m calling BS

Me
