The creature hiccupped and suddenly grew slightly, enough to add a few pounds and make him unable to properly sit on her lap. Jumping to the floor, he looked up at her and seemed apologetic, thinking the extra weight might have hurt her. Suddenly after a moment the dragon seemed to be thinking, and walked over to her, placing it's head in her hands, while the rest of it's body now covered the rug in the middle of her room. Needless to say it seemed it was growing more quickly than anticipated. That's when she heard it speak.<br/><br/>"You are not mama... yet I know you won't hurt me." It was akin to a child's voice, yet from the growling undertone it was clear that she wasn't hearing english, and most would not understand his words if they heard them. His eyes blinked and his head raised as he took in her reaction. He smiled and as his tongue flicked out he added, "And thanks for the food, Mistress Meredith." He chuckled and curled up on the rug. "I will wait for your return. I am likely to cause a commotion if I were to go meet your keepers." He chuckled, a guttural sound as though a growl and a laugh all at once. His eyes closed and he lie there as if sleeping.<br/><br/>"Meredith! Dinner!" her mother was heard shouting from the floor below.
