The small creature inside the egg smelled the food, and wriggled around in his dark enclosure, finding that it shattered quite easily now. Was he always this big? He hopped out of the drawer and looked for the smell of food, immediately locking onto the small meat strips and eating them, ignoring the look he was getting as he moved on to the fruit. Once that was gone he looked over and finally took notice of his... was it his mother? No... that wasn't a dragon. It was decidedly female though. A caretaker? Had his family deserted him? If he had been alone... was this girl his guardian, or was she his charge?<br/><br/>He blinked at her and circled her, taking note of every detail. She wasn't armed and she didn't seem hostile. Was this girl his protector? She seemed normal enough... maybe scared? he walked up to her as if to assure her and started acting like a cat, growling a bit as he curled in her lap.<br/><br/>That was when a knock at the door was heard. "Meredith, honey! Dinner's almost ready!" Her mother called. the baby dragon almost immediately walked over to the door and guarded it like  her mother was an intruder, and smoke was coming from his cute little maw as if to signal fire breath was imminent.
