Ebony blinked as large foot...or at least relatively large to little head stepped into large orange pale!  That had been close, if he had hung around any longer she would had squashed him like a grape!  His bright blue eyes gazed up at the woman as she slowly got back up to her feet and then at the shimmering blue and silver bag of chocolate pretzels however before he snatch them into the bushes, she spotted him! Ebony quickly shrank away, and then paused a noticing that she had done the same thing. The little dragon titled his head to the side and looked up at her curiously as she began making friendly  beckoning sounds holding out her fingers.... maybe she had jelly beans.... the thought crossed him mind but he didn't smell any.<br/><br/>The dragon let out a small friendly chirping sound as he slowly poked his black scaly head out of the bushes. His sharp little claws clicked against the pavement as he hopped out into full view. He puffed out his chest and angled his body side ways showing of the length his folded large black velvet wings  and swished his long slender tail in slowly the air. His front talons stepped lively as if he were a cat walking on hot sand... a smart sassy  friendly dragon greeting if she knew anything about dragons. Ebony chirped happily as he strutted over toward her, eager to investigate the brown paper bag she had in her arm.<br/><br/>The little black dragon then scampered back toward  the bushes, but instead of running away, he pounced on top of the bag of chocolate covered pretzels and took off into the sky! Obivously it appeared as if he was stealing, but just as it seemed liked he was gone for good, he came descending from up above and gliding down ever so silently dropping the bag of pretzels into  the paper brown bag!<br/><br/>Although the gesture might have had its merit and full of good intentions.... her pretzels were quickly squashed into little chocolate crumbly bits, as the dragon landed ontop of them and began stamping them and the groceries beneath them making a nice little nest for himself inside the grocery bag to curl up in.  Ebony glanced up out of the bag and stared up at Cassandra and gave her nose lick with his long forked blue tongue and chirped happily.... as he had done her some sort of great service and now she was eternally indebted him.
