Boring am I? Lionel sniffed. Well, really. Here I am, a double first out of Cambridge being led around by the nose by a pipsqueak of a girl.

He carefully ignored the I am not a pipsqueak comment.

I’ll show her.

It took only a moment for Lionel to find the glint of metal below. Good, a knight. Indigestion for a week, yes, but it would serve the cheeky wench right.

Don’t you dare

Lionel felt his wings pull him up from his dive. Concentrating harder he wrenched his muscles into a long steep swing.

There was an ominous crack inside his stomach.

Oh no! You’ve cracked it!

Lionel didn’t care, furious at the girl, the world and particularly at the lack of virgins, he swept over the knight, swiping the lance from his hands with one claw and tossing him into the air with the other.

He swallowed the man whole, on his return sweep, grinning with satisfaction.

Ronald stood, shakily, not too sure where he was but all too aware of the delightful lady beside him.

“Well, Hello.”

    Question… was the knight a virgin?? And is the reason for female virgins rooted in the gender of the dragon?? And would that necessitate crude jokes revolving around ‘meat markets’ were it to be a girl dragon?? and is the knight now a boy-toy??

    Never thought to ask the knight but one hopes he’s rather knightly and is a virgin, of course he might also come into the group of chilli dog. Female virgins are considered the traditional fare for a dragon, why no one knows but its been passed down through history. Also, for some reason, most legends deal with male dragons or genderless dragons, so hmm, female dragons I’m not sure of. Ronald is now a boy-toy LOL well I think Cindy’s going to be pulling a few of his strings so yeah. :)
