"I never thought of dragons as inherently magical; isn't your impressive breath merely an action of your own biology?" He figured from what Kaida was saying that she knew precious little about magic; he was perhaps very much mistaken because of the fact that she was hiding something from him.<br/><br/>"No, I never said that you were not supposed to use magic - I was saying that you will probably be exposed to highly dangerous magic as a result of this posting, but you seem to know little about it so it should not be too much of a problem. If you have no magical abilities for it to react with I doubt it's much concern at all."<br/><br/>Naturally he trusted her, and that meant that Tuigalen simply thought she only had her breath weapon like she said. Fiery breath from dragons was just a fact of biology, wasn't it? They could produce it the same way that humans and elves exhaled water vapor.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry that you have such a problem with your history, but I promise I will only treat you with honor. I trust that you will come now; the gate is still open if you notice."<br/><br/>He wasn't sure that he should have pressed on with any questions about 'something in the past,' and being as professional as he was the rider simply decided to let those questions go. If there were skeletons in her closet should would tell him if she were ever comfortable.<br/><br/>Should she not have been then it wouldn't really have been his business...would it?<br/><br/>From his point of view she had no special powers beyond being a coveted black dragon, and that meant that he shouldn't have asked any further questions. He would perhaps be sorely mistaken come the near future should anything have happened in that regard, however.
