Kate smiled, "We can take one. Come I will show you."<br/>She led Dermot to a large green house of many kinds of plant. "The most dangerous ate in a special room. The have pretty flowers and fuzzy leaves. They have to be watered and like moderate light." The mage pet it velvety soft leaves. These are like lambs ears. They coo and open their petals. They love to be sung to, read to, and talked to."<br/><br/>Kate removed a small plant. "This is yours."<br/><br/>We do not have much time, "Let me show you the dragon nursery."<br/><br/>Kate led him down several corridors into a room filled with playpens, cribs, and dragon baby incubators. Abandon dragon are brought here and taken to another place where they grow up in safety, secret, I am not told where."<br/><br/>As they entered the dragons were attended by mages wearing leather shirts over their mage robes. A lady with her tied in a bun, and amber eyes moved to Dermot carrying a leather poncho. "Hello Mage Apprentice Kate."<br/>Kate put the poncho on Dermot, "Master Mage Sadie this is Wizard Adept Dermot."<br/>The lady placed a blue dragon on his shoulder and the baby began chewing his hair and blowing smoke from his nostrils. "He likes you. This little lady is Wanda and is partial to men."<br/>Kate donned a leathers cape and picked up a purple dragon, "This little guy hatched and saw me. His Name is Rex. When he grows he will be as big as a cottage."<br/>The dragon squacked and waddled to Kate holding a ball. "You had you first molt and you look handsome."<br/>She tossed the ball and Rex kicked it with his right front talon. "Your stronger. Rex, can you count and say my name." The dragon spoke to her,"Squee de hum hum screech squak."<br/>"Very good Rex. I came to tell you I am taking a trip and will be gone till school starts. I can't take you with me. You will have your dragon mates."<br/>Kate fed him from a bowl of seared meat and fruit."<br/>The little guy started squawking and stomping. He flapped his wings and started crawling up her. You stop making a spectacle and calm down. I will be back and you have Samantha, Sara, and Jason to play with.' Kate pet his muzzle and gave him a hug. "Behave and I will bring you back a gift."<br/>The dragon looked at Kate expectantly. "Squeek hun squeek."<br/>"Something shiny"<br/>"I find you a gift from my travels."<br/>"How you doing Dermot?" Kate asked as the little dragon crawled down his back and was sniffing his coat pocket. "He is looking for something he can hide. He likes your watch."<br/>Kate laughed.
