Ranarc looked over his shoulder at her, and gave her a dragon grin. "Considering we have, at last count, maybe six thousand units left out of the original million, yes, you could say that. I think sixteen of had names and titles at the last check, though we have had far more fall to full rampancy than recover. It is... a hard thing to notice.<br/><br/>Though admittedly, names aren't important to us. We have a Need, a Cause, and a Purpose. Most everything else is... superfluous. We become the job, and the job is to fight things like the Crawlers, or worse. Survival is unlikely even at the best of times. We survive anyway."<br/><br/>He stopped at the kitchen and let her down. "Anyone we need to let know that you are out of the castle? If something happens, my units can let me know quick, but I am sure your mother would rather know where you are than be told after an emergency starts."<br/><br/>Once she had everything she needed and had let someone know where they would be, he let her back on, and took her out to the main courtyard, where he had her dismount again, and move away. He then reverted to his full sized, a gargantuan dragon still taking most of the courtyard up, but he had enough room to get up. And he could cheat, he still had launch and jump jets. Once back on, he followed her directions to wherever she wanted.
