Watching all of your unknightly adventures unfold from a totally discreet perch overlooking each castle and location. Surely no one will notice the looming presence nor feel my gaze. An inconspicuous dragon. Hopefully. Wouldn't want to cause panic or raise alarms when all I'm doing is watching.

Oh you are not cause for panic, dear dragon! Not unless I’m in danger, I presume… Then all bets are off! You are quite protective and such a dear friend ❤️ I hope you enjoy the view from your perch! Always fun to know I have some back up when needed, and a lovely friend all wrapped into one!

I know none of you know who this is but my mobile's not working so I can't ramble to tiktok so... LOOK AT MY BABY

Redrawing Art Ref Sheets for ArtFight and OMG such a glow-up.

I mean... last year's dragon came out terrible so it wasn't hard to improve upon but still! I'm so proud.

Does the knight need to be picked up and taken to bed? Perhaps just gently scooped in friendly claws and taken to a lair to pass out after a night of debauchery and drinking? It is good to see you had your fun, sire, but I do hope you get some rest eventually, yes? Else you'll have a very scary dog, dragon, privilege while I stand behind you.

Ah my dear dragon! Perhaps a designated dragon is of much use… I am very drunk but a fun amount! Nice warm lair with dragon tail weighted blanket sounds very nice right now ❤️ I am in bed!! Will rest, I promise hehe

A Friend For Dear Dragon (1985)

As if summoned by fate I seem to be showing up the moment another one of your suitors mentions hoard and dragon in a sentence. The timing is quite fortuitous. Not that I can blame the dear princess for such actions as tokens of affection or interest are great to keep, both for the memories they can hold or for the association they have with specific people that might be part of our lives. This also reminds me you could drop by the lair sometime. It's been a while since I last sent you back with a gift. I am sure I have some fancy artifacts or weapons laying around you could take with you for your questing.

Ah, my dear dragon! The second it was mentioned I did think of you! You have been so lovely in allowing me to bring you treasures to add to your hoard, and the accommodations you’ve added to your lair for me have been so cozy. I do so cherish our friendship!

I would gladly stop by the lair on my next adventure, I’m sure you have quite a few weapons from which I could benefit! After all, far too many inexperienced squires and other adventurers wish to “prove themselves” by disturbing your lair and attacking. Their weapons would be much better wielded in my hand I’m sure!

I will assuredly bring you back a wonderful gift from whatever my next quest is, dear dragon ❤️
