The more Jawn tried to think of some way out of the dragons' logic he realized there was none. Indeed the dragon had a point and by all accounts of their experience he had only relinquished Jawn from becoming a human shishkabob. The horror was just dawning on him when he was finally cut free of his binds and he let a gasp of pain and relief as his stiff limbs were finally free. Jawn shoved the heavy pole off of himself and sat up painfully. He had been stuck on that pole for several hours and his limbs ached and his skin was raw and bleeding slightly from chafing of the ropes.<br/><br/>The dragon demanded entertainment but Jawn was exhausted and he had spent much of his life in embarrassment and servitude he had not intended to continue it that way. Initially Jawn had thought he was being given a second chance by the dragon but it seemed he was just a slave to a new master now.  He snorted at the demands made by the dragon despite the continued risk to his own life,<span style="font-weight: bold">"so let me get this straight! You freed me because I chose them. I choose them because they treated me poorly AND offended you, and in repayment I get to be your slave?"</span>He asked with exasperation as he stood on shaky legs.<span style="font-weight: bold">"What a joke my life is,"</span>Jawn grumbled to himself as he did his best to shake the ashe from his hair and wipe it from his cloths. All he really accomplished was smearing the dirt across his face and cloths and into his wounds which stung painfully.<br/><br/>The peasant gestured to himself frustratedly,<span style="font-weight: bold">"you expect me to entertain you like this?"</span>He asked. Then he took a chance on an idea and adopted a distressed expression.<span style="font-weight: bold">"As I am now I hardly deserve to stand before you. Let me bathe, perhaps clean my clothing so I may be at least somewhat more worthy of your presence. Maybe then we could discuss how I might make myself worthy to you?"</span>Jawn still had no desire to be eaten and he supposed as a slave to a dragon he could at least survive. Perhaps he'd have a chance to even escape (although he doubted it), that thought kept him going. Better chances for a better life had always kept him going and struggling and Jawn fully understood now the lengths he was willing to go to in order to survive.
