He smiled and dimension doored into the entrance of the lair. "Because I thought a... beautiful female like yourself would be angry and unhappy, and likely to try to take her emotions out on one such as myself."<br/><br/>He altered what he had been about to say, as he spotted the absolutely gorgeous female blue dragon, reclining on the floor, having already consolidated the hoards into one, as she was the last surviving dragon of the group. He smiled, and leaned against his staff, unconsciously showing himself off, as he admired the shapely dragon. Most humanoids would merely see a beast, but he was not just viewing her physical form, but her mental, spiritual, and emotional forms as well. "How about a wager? I am sure Tiamat is likely as unhappy with me as you are if not more. So if you can defeat me in combat, I will peacefully allow you to take me before your goddess. If I win, you become my consort."
