"It is enchanting, wouldn't you say?"
Her sweet voice brought up feelings that bore close resemblance to the arrival of spring after a long winter.
She wasn't physically able to speak, as vocal chords of a dragon differ greatly from those of a human or an elf, but dragons solved this problem by learning how to use magic for speaking, their primary communication method however was still their smell, with their long forked tongues constantly flickering through the air.
"Of all the people I know, I wouldn't expect YOU to become so silent in a moment like this."
She chuckled in amusement.
"Funny that YOU mention that," he packed his belongings and put them in saddlebags, that lay on the ground next to campfire.
"Of all the dragons I know, I wouldn't even-"
"Shush. Let us enjoy the view together, shall we?"
He rolled his eyes in annoyance and murmured something for himself, but started smiling as soon as he turned around and found out that she is staring at him with her beautiful blue eyes that reflected the starlight as mountain lakes reflect the sun rays. She looked truly gorgeous.
Walking around her, he caressed her thigh, bruised with a long scar from a past battle. Her grey scales were still torn of in that very spot as they never grew back.
She breathed out a cloud of smoke, whilst constantly tasting the air with her forked tongue.
He sat next to her, looking on stars and admiring the view in front of them.
They were on top of a cliff, with stormy sea deep beneath them. The sun was just setting, its last rays were falling upon them it was getting darker with every passing moment.
"The view is awesome, but what do you think about the stars? We humans believe that they are lost souls, that wander endlessly around the earth."
She chuckled softly.
"What did I say?
"Do humans really believe in that?"
She seemed to be honestly surprised.
"Yes! I-I mean what else should we believe in? It seems to be quite obvious when you think about it..."
Her bright blue eyes were sparkling in the sun rays.
"Dragons believe that those are other worlds quite similar to one we live on."
She was gazing on the sky again.
"We believe that they are inhabited aswell and that other dragons live there in peace and harmony."
My poor little dragoness, she really seems to believe in that nonsense.
"Who knows, you could be right."
He stroke her front leg.
"I guess we'll never know for sure."
"It is sad. I would love to know that and I would love to visit those worlds and-"
He unnecessarily loudly clears his throat.
"-and I would love to meet those lost souls that have nothing better to do than to fly around and shine."
She laughed on him until he suddenly hugged her to end the argument.
"Whoa! What are you doing down there?"
She bent her long neck to have a better look on her raider and friend.
"Nothing, nothing..."
"If I had eyebrows like you humans do, I would probably raise one right now."
She licked his cheek with her tongue, marking it with a thin line of saliva.
"Yeah I think we should watch the sunset now."
He caressed her side again.
"This reminds me of the time I hatched, the first time when I saw the sunlight after I got out from the eggshell."
"I bet that no one as handsome as I am was present at that time."
She giggled again.
"Very funny,"
"Remember when you dragged around my pants and used them as your hiding place?"
"No."
"Oh come on, you have to remember that!"
"No such thing happened."
She tried to keep a neutral tone, but he saw right through that.
"I swear you are blushing right now!"
He stroke her side again.
"I will always love you and protect you my dearest friend."
Smiling, he kissed her on her cheek again.
"Oh what would I do without a big lizard by my side?"
The both laughed and then they watched the sky long into the night. Careless, blind and deaf to the troubles of the world, each enjoying the presence of the other and the beauty of the moment.
