#86 of Iron Dragon


"You seem to be in a rather good mood." Alice said as she sat on the hotel bed next to Nodrog.

Nodrog smiled as Alice leaned against him. Currently all she had on was a t shirt and panties. "I am always in a good mood when I can spend time with my favorite little mouse."

"I certainly appreciate your company on these lonely nights... Though I think your mood is influenced by a little more than what I want." Alice said with a sly little smile. Her fingers lightly teasing the tent in his shorts.

"Everything went better than I had hoped with regards to the dragon navigators." Nodrog said.

"Oh well that is good news..." Alice said and bit her lower lip as she used just her thumb and index finger to stroke Nodrog through his shorts. "However, I think we can talk later."

Alice stood in front of Nodrog and kissed him as his tail tugged her panties off and his hands found their way under her shirt. A quiet moan escaped her lips as his thumbs gently teased her stiffing nipples. Practice had been brutal and all the interviews didn't help.

What Alice wanted was sex, and not just a quick fuck, but slow and passionate sex to ease some of the stress she was under. The kind that only Jenny or Nodrog could really give her. The kind were she could lay back and enjoy every little thing they did to her. She moaned softly as she removed her shirt and his fiery breath warmed her fur and flesh.

She shivered in pleasure at his gentle touch as the scales teased her vulva so lightly. He pulled her close with his arms and tail, kissing her as his tail wrapped around one of her legs. Holding her firmly as the tip lightly brushed against her tight little anus. Her legs grew weak as a finger and the tip of his tail slipped inside of her. The heat of his body and breath warming her in very pleasant ways.

Alice let out a content little sigh as he laid her down on the bed, letting his magic envelope all of her senses. Stimulating her entire body and mind as his tongue just briefly flicked across her clit. That little spark drew out a squeak of excitement from Alice. Who was already aroused in anticipation. Her scent filling his nose as he gave her another playful lick.

Her breath was slightly quickened as his snout brushed against her clit while his tongue slipped inside. Alice did like getting eaten out, nothing put her in the mood faster than someone going down on her. That long dragon tongue could reach places no one else could. She writhed on the bed in ecstasy as Nodrog brought her to climax. Only to shiver as his teeth raked through her fur, across her mound before going up her belly.

Alice watched as he continued further up her body with only a pause to lightly lick each nipple. They kissed as she spread her legs in anticipation of being penetrated. A moan escaped her lips as his warm prick rubbed against her before being pushed inside. She wasn't cold, but his high body temp only made sex so much more erotic and intense.

The mouse also loved being under the dragon. All of those powerful muscles taking care of her every sexual need. Knowing just how fast to go and how deep, for the sole purpose of making her feel incredible. Forgetting all of the stress and all of her problems as each thrust pushed him deeper inside as he made love to her.

Alice loved Jenny, and the way Jenny made love to her. Still to have the dragon deep inside of her was something Alice needed. To have his thick tool inside and the knot tease her was even harder to put into words. To know that Jenny also got such wonderful care when she was gone, also made sex even better. Alice clung tightly to Nodrog as she climaxed just as his knot swelled inside of her.

Nodrog kissed her as Alice's pretty blue eyes looked up at him. Eyes that shown love and sexual bliss. He put an arm under her so he could roll over and let her lay on him. Alice lay tied to him for several minutes, occasionally moaning as his swollen prick twitched inside of her. His unique cum filling her with a pleasant warmth along with his cock.

Today would be qualifying, with the race taking place late the following day. It would be partly a night race, something Alice of course excelled at. Mainly because of her illegal racing in years past. During those late night ventures, she raced on her own terms and conditions. Alice never raced for pinks, only for cash. Now she was racing on the professional level and maintained a professional appearance.

Now on the second half of the season, people either put up or shut up. Alice had a commanding lead over the rest of the field. They only had themselves to blame for her competition in the full season. Their doubt, over inflated egos and taunts had roused the little mouse to anger. With the Viper's fangs she was set on devouring the competition. Race after race, Alice put them in their place, and she would do so every race until the season was over.

It was not what Alice actually wanted. The fun and enjoyment was fading as the season progressed. She was actually a little depressed as she got in the car to qualify. The more the little Lotus sat un driven, the more the Viper seemed to poison her. It distorted her in ways she was unaware of. The joy might be fading, but the drive to just win was growing. As the Viper came to life, depression was replaced by only the thought of winning.

Alice set a fast enough time, they impounded the Viper to check it out. Thinking it was running outside of the rules and specifications. Joe was actually upset that anyone would accuse him or Alice of cheating. Still the officials had to go over the car with a fine tooth comb with the other teams crying foul. They found nothing wrong, everything was well within the rules.

Little Joe detuned the car slightly while the rest of the field finished qualifying. Alice was allowed to make a second qualifying round. She still took the pole position, but by a much narrower margin. Wes and Joe were the only ones who did not hound the officials about the Viper's first run. Carly did not say anything, but her team owner did. There was a championship on the line and Carly needed points.

Ron and Nodrog figured it might be better to take him off the pit crew. The dragon would simply be security and nothing more. Ron himself had never been accused of cheating, so the fact they accused his daughter was upsetting. That was part of their conversation. This time the dragon calming the mortal, instead of the other way around. As had been the case at the ring.

Though many on edge, the race went smoothly with Carly just edging Alice out of first on the last corner of the race. Actually second place did Alice a bit of good, and certainly gave Carly a boost of confidence. It did little to help Carly gain on her friend in the points race, still every point mattered and as it got closer to the end, it would really matter.

What Alice really needed was to see Jenny, but that wasn't going to happen. She had to go with Nodrog to meetings and events while Randy hauled the car and equipment to the next event. The iron dragon was nice to have at some events, since he was much more persuasive in getting Alice what she wanted. Both in a little more space and just a cold bottle of plain water and some food.

'You know one of these days they are going to figure it out.' Alice said telepathically to Nodrog.

Nodrog only smiled. 'I think you are imagining things my dear little mouse.'

Technically he had a point, since she could not prove he was using very strong mental influence over the wait staff to get her things. Alice sighed 'Very well, maybe I am.'

'It is my job to see to your safety and take care of you... In any way you need, be it physical, mental or sexual. It is the least I can do, for someone who means so much to me.' Nodrog added before he snagged some treats off a passing tray.

"I do need to talk to you later." Alice said to Nodrog as part of their verbal conversation with some others.

"Of course." Nodrog said and handed Alice one of the small cakes he had taken. "Cake?"

"Thank you." Alice said and smiled as he had managed to get her favorite kind of cake off the tray despite its rather quick passing. Angel food cake was her one real weakness when it came to all things sweet. Unlike Jenny, who Alice figured had sweet teeth and not just a single sweet tooth.

While the dragon was polite and courteous to those in attendance, it was very clear that he was her body guard. It kept a few people from getting to close to Alice, especially those she was not comfortable to be around. Most respected her for her skill behind the wheel... but there were some who only wanted to get in her pants. For no other reason than to say they had banged her. The small group who thought that found it very hard to remain close to the mouse, even if the dragon was across the room.

"As much as some things change, so many stay the same." Alice said as they walked from the car into the hotel after the event. "I feel dirty just from their looks."

"There were a few lecherous bastards in attendance." Nodrog said as he held the door open for her.

"I don't think I could do those events without you around. I really do not like them." Alice said as she walked inside.

"It cannot be helped at this point. Just think of it as an unpleasant necessity, like going to the dentist." Nodrog said.

Alice looked up at him. "You have never been to one, so how would you know about teeth cleaning being so unpleasant?"

"I have heard others talking about it, the twins especially hate going it seems to me." Nodrog said with a chuckle.

"Fair enough." Alice said and walked on.

After they were on the elevator, Nodrog asked. "What did you need to talk to me about?"

"Is there something wrong with me?" Alice asked after a short pause.

Nodrog looked a bit puzzled." What do you mean?"

"I don't feel like myself, especially behind the wheel." Alice said.

Nodrog gave it a little thought. "I have not noticed anything. We can certainly check later this evening once everyone is asleep."

"That would make me feel a little better. Might just be all in my head, but to be accused of cheating, that really hurt." Alice said as they got off the elevator and headed for their rooms.

"No one took that very well. Get ready for bed and I will be in shortly after." Nodrog waited for her door to click as she locked it. He went to his own room to get changed and cleaned up. Alice had remained rather calm out at the track when cheating was brought up, but now away from people she was really worried about it.

Alice took a quick shower and brushed her teeth before putting on her pajamas. She was absent mindedly combing her hair as she watched some late night news. Alice was a little surprised to see Lilith with Nodrog, and felt suddenly under dressed. "A little more warning next time."

"Sorry, but I thought it better to bring in someone more qualified. Lilith's medicine teachings are much more suited to what you asked me, than my... more heavy handed techniques." Nodrog said with a reassuring smile.

"This is something better left to more delicate hands." Lilith said and reached in a bag to pull out a small crystal vial. "Plus if you do not mind Michaela asked if I could get a blood sample. For her ongoing research."

"I don't think that will be a problem. And I do remember how delicate your touch is." Alice said and the two of them blushed.

Lilith smiled. "Well, sit up on the bed with me. We need to be crossed legged and facing each other."

"Like this?" Alice asked.

"Yup." Lilith said and sat close enough their knees were touching. "Now give me your hands."

Alice reached out and Lilith took her hands in her own. Then rested them on their knees. "Oh I almost forgot. Nodrog wrap your tail around my waste." Lilith said as she looked over at Nodrog.

"I thought he was a bit to heavy handed?" Alice asked clearly puzzled.

"He is, however generally this is done sitting on the ground. Being several stories up in the air, his powerful earth elemental alignment will act as our ground." Lilith said.

"Ground?" Alice asked.

"Yes, ground. Besides being done on the ground, it is usually done on holy ground. To keep our bodies and spirits safe." Lilith said and gave Alice a wink. "He may not be holy in any way, but no evil is going to try and harm us in his presence."

"Of that I can assure you." Nodrog said.

"Okay close your eyes and concentrate on my voice, and my voice only." Lilith said.

Alice did as she was told, though it was not hard to focus on Lilith's lovely elfin voice. She did not have the benefit of a translator, so all Alice heard was Elf. The cute little elf's tone was light and playful, so very easy to focus on. She could feel little tells of Lilith's mind reaching out to her mind. After that it became a little more odd as she now heard Lilith talking in her own mind.

Alice opened her eyes at a slight jolt and found herself someplace else entirely. A bit hazy like a dream, were she saw Lilith surprisingly naked. Looking down Alice was also naked. "What is going on?"

"We are inside your mind. As for our state of dress, that is completely under your control." Lilith said.

As soon as Alice thought of blaming Jenny, images of the kitten floated around them. "All I was going to do was blame the naked on her." Alice said as they watched glimpses of Alice's interaction with Jenny.

"You thought of her, so now we see her. Obviously you are comfortable naked, and it does not bother me at all." Lilith said with a smile. "However we are here for a reason."

"The race." Alice said and quickly memories of the race replaced Jenny. Even the smell of hot exhaust and high octane race fuel was present.

"Can you focus on your feelings?" Lilith asked a bit overwhelmed by the vivid memories Alice had.

As Alice though about the race, Lilith looked around at the memories and emotions Alice had felt. It was a bit like being at the electronics department at a store, with images and sound coming from all directions. It would be highly confusing to most people, but if you know what you are looking for, it is incredibly easy.

"I thought you liked racing?" Lilith asked.

"I do like racing..." Alice said and the memories changed. "Oops sorry about that."

Lilith only giggled. "It is perfectly fine. I think I might have found part of it."

Alice walked over to Lilith. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, but go back to the last race." Lilith said.

Alice watched slightly puzzled as more recent images came back. As to what the elf was doing Alice could not really say. Lilith kind of examined her memory like a person would examine an object.

"At some point you lost the joy you had. It kept your competitive nature toned down. With no joy, you are only concerned with winning." Lilith said.

They both turned as a memory played of Jenny holding Harley as they heard Alice snap at Marko in the car about being hungry and tired. Lilith watched as a couple of tears fell down Alice's cheeks.

"I miss them." Alice said.

"You do have the ability to instantly see them any time you wish." Lilith said and put a hand on Alice's shoulder.

"I don't want to take advantage of him like that." Alice said.

"Trust me, teleporting you any place you want to go is hardly taking advantage of him. For that matter teleporting you and your other car would not even begin to tap his power." Lilith said.

As soon as Alice thought about it, images and the sound of the little red sports car came to her. It's happy exhaust note as it zipped along a stretch of west coast road. What really shook Alice was the euphoria she remembered just driving, the destination of little importance.

"It has been a long time since I went for just a drive..." Alice said.

"And had a good cuddle." Lilith said with a smile.

Alice opened her eyes and found they were still in the hotel room. Nodrog looked at her as Lilith stretched.

"So did you find what you were looking for?" Nodrog asked.

"Sort of, I didn't find what I need, only how to get it." Alice said and snapped her fingers. "Didn't you need a blood sample?"

"I do need one, I had forgotten about it." Lilith said and quickly got out the things she needed for that. It was over quickly and was painless. After which Lilith got off the bed and summoned a shadow. "I am going to have to make some notes, Alice has such vivid memories. I am astonished at the detail. Have a good evening, I need to head for home."

Alice put a hand on Nodrog's arm. "Take me home, please."

Jenny opened her eyes as Nodrog woke her, she was surprised to see Alice climbing into the bed with her. "Is something wrong love?"

Alice snuggled up close to Jenny and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Not anymore."

Chapter.

Jenny was certainly not going to complain about having Alice in her arms for the night. Or still holding her mouse in the morning when they woke up. Jenny wondered what had prompted the surprise trip home as Alice held Harley in her arms. All she did know was something that had been missing was suddenly back.

Alice did not get much time to spend with Jenny and Harley, but even two hours raised her spirits quite a bit. Thankfully being at home meant she had clothes to put on before heading down to the garage to collect an old friend.

The little red car shined in the low light of the shop. Alice walked over and put a hand on the front fender, she felt genuine guilt from neglecting the Lotus. It was her first true love after all. Most would scoff at the idea of loving a thing such as a car. Of course to most it was just a thing that got them from point A to point B. The little red Lotus was not just a car, it was a close friend and even a lover. To Alice, it had been everything she had ever needed at several points of her life. Her fingers lightly ran across it's lines as she walked to the garage door to open it.

The big garage door opened slowly and noisily, bathing the bay in early morning light. Since it sat in the shop, the keys were always in it, in case Jim or Kenny had to move it. Alice opened the driver's door and got inside. The very familiar seat hugging her as she simply sat in it. Her eyes flowed across the dash and switches like one would look over the naked form of their lover.

The five point belt closed with a solid 'click' embracing her tightly. Alice reached forward putting one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift knob. She pressed in the clutch and put the car in neutral. A seductive smile spread across her lips as she reached up for the ignition key. The small twin turbo V-8 quickly came to life, its subtle exhaust rumble exciting Alice's soul like a kiss.

Nodrog knelt next to the car after Alice had backed out of the shop. He handed her, her purse. "You might need your ID and some cash."

"What about my phone?" Alice asked.

Nodrog smiled slightly. "It seems I have forgotten it, pity. Do you have someplace in mind?"

"I do." Alice said with a smile.

Nodrog chuckled and the world went black. When the world came back into view Alice and the Lotus were sitting at a road side pull off. She was on a stretch of deserted Nevada two lane blacktop. The sun still two hours away from rising here, not a cloud in the sky to dampen the stars in the sky.

Alice put the Lotus in gear, checked that it was clear and rolled out onto the road. She left the radio off so she could listen to the familiar engine sing to her. All alone with just empty road and the Lotus, Alice could relax and enjoy the feeling of just driving for the sake of driving. No destination, no pressure, no cameras or media, just a cruise.

Alice's heart fluttered as the road became twisty, just like the feeling of being in Jenny's sensual embrace. She was driving fast, but not aggressively. This was not a race, but just a thrilling fling to take her mind off other things. Oh how she had missed the euphoria of being with the Lotus out on the open road. The cool desert air blowing through her hair as she happily zipped along.

For the first time in months, Alice giggled and laughed as she drove along. She felt fantastic and free back in the care of the Lotus. Its engine reving playfully as they snaked across the empty desert. Oh to be in the familiar embrace of her friend, the feeling of the road through its chassis. The sensations she got from the steering wheel, the gear shift knob and the seat sparked a faded passion.

With rekindled joy Alice sped along the deserted highway. The small sports car singing to her as they played on the asphalt playground. Eventually the two lane ended at the intersection of four lane interstate. The sun had been up for an hour, and Alice was not really in the mood to stop. So she simply headed to the where the next race was taking place.

She turned on the radio and set the cruise control at a steady eighty five miles per hour. Quick enough to be enjoyable but slow enough to also be enjoyable. Of course not having her phone on her was also a pleasant change as well. It wouldn't last long, but the mini vacation was just what the monsters ordered. Who was she to argue with a cute little elf with very good bed manners?

Alice bit her lip lightly as she thought of Lilith naked, the little elf was one girl she couldn't get out of her mind. Well aside from Jenny. She had fun with Stacy and Samantha, and wouldn't turn either of them down. But Alice kind of wished Lilith would be open to a sober experience. Somehow Alice figured Jenny wouldn't mind.

Her more, erotic thoughts would have to wait, at least for a little bit. The Lotus needed a drink and Alice could also use a drink and maybe a snack... and to use the bathroom. The truck stop was not very crowded this early in the morning. High octane for the Lotus, a bottle of iced coffee and a fresh baked donut for Alice. Both Alice and the car were excited to get back on the road so it was a quick stop.

This was actually the Alice, Jenny had fallen in love with. The Alice who sang along to her favorite songs, so incredibly poorly. Who couldn't dance if her life depended on it and always noticed a guy's car before the guy who owned it. A girl who got excited driving a car instead of shopping. A girl most were surprised never gave herself food poisoning because she is such a horrible cook.

Alice was glowing her mood so improved when she stopped for lunch and more fuel. Back on the road she caught up to a very familiar looking truck and trailer rolling down the road. She had caught up to Randy without even thinking about it. That ought to confuse the hell out of her cousin.

So after a quick check of the side mirror, Alice zipped out and pulled up alongside the blue truck. Alice smiled and beeped the horn.

Randy glanced out the side window and was completely surprised to see the little red sports car. He responded to her little horn by laying on the truck's air horn. He chuckled as the little car weaved in its lane before taking off again. He had thought it a trick until he got the chance to read the plates. Somehow Alice had driven most of the way across the country in a day... or a certain iron friend gave her a lift to a closer point.

What ever the method, Alice beat Randy to the race track by a couple hours. The rest of them were not even scheduled to land until tomorrow. For that matter Alice was not supposed to even be here for three more days. Randy didn't really care, at least he wouldn't be stuck at the track for a couple days. After getting the truck parked they got in the Lotus and went off in search of dinner.

Randy was a little surprised by how chatty his cousin was. She had been getting quieter and quieter with each passing week the last month and a half. Alice barely said a word at the last race, usually replying with single word phrases. "Not sure what prompted the change, but is nice to have you back to your ol'self."

"Just misplaced something important, thanks to a certain dragon and an early morning cruise; I found it again." Alice said as they waited for dinner.

"What did ya lose?" Randy asked.

"The joy I had for driving." Alice said.

Randy thoughtfully sipped at his iced tea. "Everyone gets burnt out now an than. Even if it is somethin' they love."

"Do you get burn out being constantly on the road?" Alice asked as the waiter brought them their food.

"Once an a while... Mainly because there is a little kitten of my own I would like to spend more time with." Randy said with a smile.

"That is harder than I thought it would be. I guess I did not realize how much time Jenny and I were together even with work." Alice said and cut into her dinner.

"Now that you mention it, the two of you were never apart for very long. Even before you started dating. Seems like Jenny was always with you." Randy said before digging into his hamburger.

"She would take any reason to be away from her family back then. I don't know how she survived living like that." Alice said.

"Least she has a good home now." Randy said.

"That she does, I am so lucky that everyone in our family is so understanding and open minded about things." Alice said.

"We just want you to be happy." Randy said.

Alice and Randy had fun talking the night away. While Nodrog spent much of the day taking care of things, and causing mischief that would make even Jenny proud. He had Alice's phone after all, and could imitate her voice to a frightening degree.

Not only did he answer her phone, but spoke in her voice to everyone on the other end. Including Alice's dad, some media people and a few others. He was going to fool Jenny, but decided at the last second not to. He did tell her that Alice would have her phone later, and he would have Alice call Jenny back.

To say that everyone was surprised to see the little red Lotus sitting next to the truck and trailer at the track, would be a little bit of an understatement. Everyone knew Alice was good, but there was just no way... Unless she had help. Once that connection was made, everything else fell into place.

"So about that thing I talked to you about the other day." Ron said and Alice just looked at him blankly.

"What thing? What day?" Alice asked as they stood around in the garage at the track.

"How could you forget, it was important?" Ron asked a bit flustered.

Everyone looked at Nodrog when he cleared his throat. "I sort of forgot to tell Alice about it."

"Tell me what?" Alice asked.

"That your father called while you were out driving." Nodrog said.

After a short pause Alice quickly figured it out. "You impersonated me on a phone call with my dad?"

Nodrog nodded. "Along with a few other people too."

"No way, your voice is way too deep to imitate Alice." TJ said.

Nodrog smiled and when he spoke he sounded exactly like TJ "I can impersonate anyone's voice. To a degree that even family cannot detect."

"If I could do that, I would have gotten away with so much more when we were little." DJ said, astounded to hear her sister's voice come from the dragon.

"Ya, cause you didn't get me in enough trouble." TJ grumbled.

"So is there anything important I should know or expect?" Alice asked and after a pause added. "Also don't do it again."

"Just a couple of things, nothing major." Nodrog chuckled. He caught Alice up on everything and made sure to give her the message to call Jenny later today. Still things needed to be done and there was not much time for any more goofing around. Well, there was a little time to goof off.

However instead of calling Jenny after dinner with everyone, she had Nodrog take her home. Where Alice could sleep in her own bed with Jenny and talk about whatever it was that prompted Jenny to call. Since he was in town having brought Alice home, Nodrog decided to spend a little time at his home.

Roslyn sighed contently as Nodrog put his arms around her. "Hello stranger."

"Evening love." Nodrog said softly.

"What brings you by?" Roslyn asked as she rinsed off some things in the sink.

"Alice felt like sleeping in her own bed, and I thought it sounded like a good idea." Nodrog said with a smile.

Roslyn hummed. "Except you don't sleep..."

"Who said anything about going to sleep?" Nodrog playfully growled and nibbled on her neck.

"Oh so that's how it is going to be?" Roslyn said and flicked water at him.

"We could have a drink first..." Nodrog said and looked over at an unopened bottle of whiskey.

"A drink does sound relaxing, but could you do something for me before we get naked?" Roslyn asked as she dried off her hands as he got out two glasses.

"Anything you want." Nodrog said.

"I have a couple of tight muscles in my shoulder and lower back, think you could loosen them up?" Roslyn said as he handed her a glass of whiskey.

"I am sure I can." Nodrog said and sipped his alcohol never breaking his eye contact with Roslyn.

"I am sure you can too." Roslyn said as she unbuttoned her shirt before taking a drink.

Nodrog sat down on the couch and Roslyn sat between his legs. She pulled off her shirt and bra so he could rub her shoulders first. "mmm nothing like a good drink and a shoulder rub from the most handsome dragon at the end of a long day to make a woman feel special."

"That is because you are special." Nodrog said softly as he rubbed her shoulders. His warm touch and magic soothing her sore muscles.

Roslyn sipped at her glass letting the warmth of the good whiskey and Nodrog's magic ease away the tension as well as get her in the mood. A good drink usually put her in the mood, but a good backrub; well Jenny had proved how well that got Roslyn wanting more. Nodrog was stronger and could rub a little deeper than Jenny could, it hurt, but in a good way.

Once their glasses had been emptied, they moved to the shower. Where the dragon turned his attention to other parts of the raven winged otter. By the time Nodrog's warm hard member was deep inside of Roslyn she was almost begging for it. When it came to foreplay, Roslyn did not know anyone better than him. She moaned louder as they climaxed together, his thick cum filling her.

After the shower, Roslyn finished getting ready for bed. Where Nodrog rubbed her entire back putting her to sleep. He gave her a light kiss before covering her up with the sheet. While not late, most of the humans and Velopians would be asleep. So he was a little surprised to get a text message from Cirrus.

Nodrog found the air elemental out on the patio he had. Given Cirrus had the upper most apartment, he had a roof level patio. For an unhindered view of the sky, and allowed for the wind to blow fully across it.

"I am not interrupting anything am I?" Cirrus asked as Nodrog appeared near him.

Nodrog smiled. "No, I had just tucked in my iron raven, and I don't sleep."

"So I have heard. I am having a little trouble getting used to some things here on this world, and was wondering if you had the same." Cirrus asked.

"It is possible. After all it was quite the shock from when I went to sleep and when Alice woke me up." Nodrog said.

"At least these humans seem to be a little more open minded than others. I suppose that has to do with the change millions of them went through." Cirrus said and looked at Nodrog. "Where are my manors, would you like a drink? I have tea made."

"That would be nice." Nodrog said and followed Cirrus inside. Everything was neat and tidy, like most dragon homes. Cirrus had some art on the walls and a few interesting sculptures. Most everything was open and very light shades of color. Typical of air elementals, they tended to like more open spaces than other elementals. "I see you are all moved in."

"Yes that did not take long, we air elementals tend to own less than the rest of you." Cirrus said as he pulled out two tall glasses.

"I suppose us children of the earth must seem like hoarders." Nodrog teased.

Cirrus laughed lightly. "Well you do tend to like your shiny metals and gems."

"Almost as bad as dwarves, I only keep what interests me." Nodrog smiled.
