someone i could save

Poser wasn’t feeling himself, not in the way he had been as of late. No. This was different. It was as if much of his wit and sparkle had drained away, leaving him feeling old and a bit out of sorts. Old. What a thought. Maybe it was getting to be time for his midlife crisis and all that. What a funny thought. The idea of mortality to a young god was nothing short of strange. Out of the question, even. If he wasn’t so distracted by things that weren’t his own thoughts, maybe he would have laughed. The young god wasn’t entirely sure what to think of himself.

The stranger spoke once more, and the wraithlike creature nodded. Now he remembered. The words that came on his tongue echoed the ones he’d used before, during their first meeting. ”Aren’t you a bit small to be a dragon? Built like one though, I suppose.” More or less the same sentiment as before. His tail wagged, tone remaining light as he spoke. ”Poser. Nice to meet you again.” Several years had passed, but that didn’t matter much. Time didn’t seem to matter much these days. ”It’s been two years since I’ve been home... I can imagine a lot has happened.” The scents that lingered around the castle told stories, but really Poser was trying to make conversation. Anything to pas the time.
