He smirked. "Another dragoness, yes. She is my... I guess the term is superior, though she doesn't issue orders. Usually. Really is disheartening, having to deal with women that not only are better than me, but could easily bite me and half if I irritated them enough."<br/><br/>He turned down the puppy dog eyes, they were messy and would get his uniform dirty. He made sure not to ask where she got them. Luckily, he was spared from further questioning by the two in question waiting for them at the entrance to the opera, though as he had feared, Sapphire was dressed to get every male's, and a number of the female's, attention, and Aurelia was not much better. It wasn't scandalous, but they were wearing form hugging silks that clung to their pleasingly full bodies, and from the admiring looks several of the younger male dwarves were giving them, a number hanging around to further enjoy the view, they had succeeded in being distracting. He gave the two dragons a quick bow, before offering his arm to Leighla. "I would offer both of you an arm, but Leighla has already claimed one, and I lack sufficient limbs to properly escort all of you. Poor planning on my part, me thinks."<br/><br/>Sapphire had been expected to show off, but Aurelia was almost as bad, for all that she also looked as regal as any empress would.<em>Are you two TRYING to cause a riot? I am surprised the males haven't been propositioning to you. Or started a war to keep the others with better offers from doing so.</em>
