She sputters a bit and pushes the drink away from her once it is settled down. Think I had enough for one night - for I think I just heard him say he was a dragon.Sarah took a moment to recollect her thoughts before glancing back at his direction. Her lips parted once, but words had failed to spill free. A hand came up instead and rubbed her face, then allowed two fingers to pinch the bridge of her nose.“A dragon?” She finally said when opening her eyes to set themselves on his gaze. Sarah dreamed of dragons, elves, all sorts of mystical and mythical creatures. The idea of meeting one felt too-familiar to the woman, so much that it left her nearly speechless. Nearly.
“I draw dragons, sometimes I see them when I dream. It helps that I do book overs for fantasy novels on the side. But to meet one, I never .. I .. ” She still couldn’t believe what she was seeing sitting right across from her. “I am sorry, I didn’t believe them to be real..” The woman now stared, still in slight disbelief.
“…you guys really do reject anything that’s out of the norm, don’t you? Maybe that’s why even with pointed ears I still get around.” He was open about what he was, because most people didn’t believe him.
“You kinda stepped into the zoo here in Millen sister. We got everything from vampires to werewolves to aliens.” He chuckled and gave her a grin. “Welcome to the jungle, as the song goes.”
“No, no it’s..” Sarah felt out of place. She wasn’t one that had out-worldly powers nor an appearance that hinted at that. Once upon a time, in another life unbeknownst to her, she was the one that summoned the wyverns of heaven, was of elven-blood, experienced magic! But in this world, in this time, her dreams were the only hints that opened her eyes to such things.
But now, she was actually experiencing it. This was no dream. “Sure, as the song goes,” Sarah said quietly and trying to conceal her embarrassment Perhaps it was best that she had not questioned it. “I do find it extraordinary, though I haven’t really experienced anything ‘out of the norm’ as of late. I suppose I do not get out much or attract preternatural creatures.”
