text: I flew around the Golden Pagoda in Ze Cheya, and shattered the lower sky with lightning. "Csirnis! You must stop hiding from me!"
  
  He peeked his head out from the middle of the temple. "Oh, good morning, Jyothky. Please stop scaring the natives."
  
  "Then wake up when another dragon comes on your territory!"
  
  He slithered all the way out of the pagoda. "Ze Cheya is not my territory. Indeed, as a single drake, I have no territory."
  
  "You're not quite a single drake, though. You're on your mating flight. Or so it is said," I yelled. I am not the most subtle dragon ever.
  
  He smiled at me. "In any case, I do not wish to be a rude drake. May I offer you a grilled ox?"
  
  I rarely refuse such things.
