"There's nothing we need now, Ancalagon. For trade, we could do with tools and building materials. We like to keep our city well maintained, and hard labour in the sun is what our superior scaled bodies are built for - I'm sure you understand that thinking. Besides, we recently promised our little cousins that we'd construct the Dragon Defense System for them - dragon-themed defense, not defense against dragons, don't you worry. Sort of in return for their loyalty, what with that bitch being de-throned and all. Their part of the deal probably defaults over to you, but still, no harm in helping protect the little buggers, eh?<br/><br/>I'll arrange for the guards to arrive on time, don't you worry."<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Raura considers the possibilities.<br/><br/>"I'm not actually sure. Little is known about the serpent people. I suppose if they look like they're not interested, then just start with a peace treaty, then see where it goes from there."<br/><br/>Snively replies.<br/><br/>"Yes, I can perform those duties, as always."
