Ryuu looks at her. Nuzzling her hand for a second before she runs to the door. Offering silent support. He shakes his head as the man talked. Even making a cute, yet very real, sneezing sound. Looking around then lays his head back down. He made a chrring sound as he was petted. Nuzzling her hand weakly. He looked at her and shakes his head. He liked her. He would not let her marry him. <He is a monster. I would take you away. I like you. I feel a connection to you like I have felt to no other. I do not think it was a mere coincidence that I suddenly could fly no further when I was above your room.> He says into her mind. <If you hate him...don't marry him. You should marry for love not duty. I am a prince and that is the only way I will marry...for love.> He pauses a bit. Laying his head down after laying down. <If I was stronger I would have protected you from him. Sick or not a dragon's person is always protected. If he had tried to hurt you I would have protected.> He lifts his head and sniffs. <If I fall in love...can I take you away? I will take you away anyways if you want. Leave your family thousands upon thousands upon thousands of gold and jewels. I can do it. It is an honor no matter what the culture...to give to the dragons. We are the highest in the lines of nobility. Even your parents would know that one.> He laid his head back down. <I don't think you should marry that monster. He hates you. He is going to try to kill you.> He was speaking to her mind. Looking at her. <Going to stay like this for awhile. Too weak to change multiple times. I'm hungry too but I can wait.>
