Roweena was not sure what to say at first but then her heart spoke up first.<br/><br/>"I am sadden that you lost your wife. I would like to be friends with you. Not that it is because you lost  your wife but I like talking with you. I think that we could be good friends. " Roweena smiled and placed her hand on top of one of his for just a few seconds then removed it since it might be taken that she was too forward.<br/><br/>"I would love to be a dragon rider apprentice. It will not happen for my parents have forbidden it and it was our last argument. I rarely speak to them now except on the things that they wish to hear. They are from the age of where females are wives and mothers not anything else. How ever, if there was some sort of a chance where I could do some training then prove to them that I could be a dragon rider, I would be very grateful to you. I just don't want another argument where mother had the vapors and father grounded me and locked me in my room until I came to my senses. I will wait until I can do what I want to without hurting their feelings.<br/><br/>How would you arrange such a thing? And at what cost? I am not rich but I do have a small allowance as long as I behave myself." Roweena spoke softly because her parents were heading her way.
