He followed. Keeping his eyes on the way that she carried both herself and the sword.

Her body was tense, but it was nearly a relaxed tensness, as if she were always that way.

"You are quite.....beautiful, if raw. How long have you been living? You need not answer that. I know that my questions can be very irritating." he followed deciding to himself not to speak much more.

Shock flashed through her eyes. Although many before had desired her bdoy, few had bothered to compliment her, on both her fighting and person.
"I am 25, which is not young for a human woman, and young for a dragon. So my age has no bearing on myself."

"Why are you shocked that I comment upon your beauty and your excellence in fighting? Is it really that much of a surprise?"he asked with a grin on his face.

When she turned to him, her eyes were blazing, but her voice was cold. She lay her hand on his shoulder slowly.
"It has not happened many times."
She sounded bemused, puzzled.
"Many simply hate, without understanding that I must do what I do. It's the only way to thrive."

He laughed loudly, it was a warm laugh. "It may have not happened much but, that does not mean that it cannot happen. And I've no need to hate you, you've done nothing that anyone would have done in your position. Besides, I understand you, and everything you do."he said happily.

"You understand me?"
She said with a soft laugh, rolling her eyes in derision despite herself.

He sloughed off her comments and laughed. "I understand you in that, I know that you must do what must be done so that you may live and thrive." he looked her directly in the eyes. "About that library....."

"We are here."
She mummered, opening the door.

"You are wrong." he stated lightly, then motioned for her to sit. "Please, rest yourself it will take me quite some time to remember where this book is..."he trailed off walking away.

She smiled at him bemusedly.
"To think that there can be peace, or even serenity, is niave."

"Then you do not know the meaning of the word. Peace is all that there is. People like me know that. This is because anyone can be perfectly at peace....even when there is a tumult of emotions and goings on. Your idea of peace however, can not and will not happen, but, no one ever said I was talking about that form of the idea." he stated from somewhere far off but sounded quite close.
