Gladekeeper forbid she was going to pass up on this deal - the dim light of the bar and the wildclaw’s flickering eyes only adding to the excitement of this sketchy situation.
“How enchanting.” The larger male was clearly pleased with the coatl’s words, eager to find a worthy tenant to care for his property. Feathered wings lie folded against the female’s mottled side, the shuffle of papers between the drake’s claws only adding to the pounding within her chest. Eager to fly the nest - making an arrangement such as this was a large step for the young dragon - much to the disdain of those she left behind. Impromptu? Sure. Selfish? Never.
“You do recall the conditions I mentioned. If you can fix up the shed and whatever leaks lie within the house, I’d be glad to reduce your initial rent.”
“And if I work on the property?” Words were held for a bit too long, a faint hum grasping onto the release of each sentence. Figures for a dragon of her upbringing.
“I hope you just understand my caution, don’t want a group of mirrors arriving and trashing the place.” A hearty laugh left the drake’s maw, the soft jingle of jewelry resounding with each heave of his chest.
Although her mouth lie unmoving, the male’s words left a poor taste against the coatl’s tongue; crest feathers fighting against flattening themselves against their crown. There was no way the female wished to offend, even though the comment itself deserved some sort of reprimandation. Whatever, it was over - soon the paperwork would be filled, and the property would be hers for the using. A secluded field, surrounded by thick deciduous forest and permeated with golden wildflowers. Inspiration just had to flow there - claws beginning to tap furtively at the wooden table below.
“Totally understand. Don’t know what else I’d do other then stay in the garden.” A dry laugh was a poor attempt to diffuse the strained atmosphere, the female’s dark green eyes flickering to meet their counterpart. Oh - thank the Glademother - his pearly dentals were formed in a semblance of a smile.
“Looks like we’ll get along fine.”
