Stella poked her head out of Vurs snout. Wind blew past her face, causing her hair to wave in the wind. She turned around and waved. Vurs golden slit eyes narrowed and focused on Stella. Whats up? he asked.
Nothing really, Stella said and glanced at the Recordkeeper, who was sitting on Vurs head. I was just wondering if it was a good idea to leave Tafel alone with the cursed dragons.
Vur blinked. Shes not alone, he said. The phoenixes are with her, and Ramon and Leila arent cursed dragons.
Stella frowned. Thats not what I meant, she said. She scratched her head. I mean, is it okay for you to travel around with the Recordkeeper by yourself?
Vur furrowed his brow. Im not by myself, he said. Youre here. He rolled his eyes up to glance at the Recordkeeper. After staring at her for a bit, he rolled his eyes back down. Even if I were alone, I could still easily beat her. She cant do anything to me.
Thats not what I meant, Stella said again. She shook her head. You know what? Never mind. I think I was thinking too much. She snapped her fingers at the Recordkeeper, causing the winged woman to tilt her neck downwards.
Snapping is a rude way of attracting someones attention, the Recordkeeper said. If you want me to pay attention to you, call my name or wave at me. When she was done speaking, the Recordkeeper raised her head and stared at the clouds in sky.
Stella sighed before placing her hands on her hips. Recordkeeper.
The Recordkeeper lowered her head again and nodded at Stella. Yes?
You know things, right? Stella asked. Whats a way to make a genie grow faster after hes granted someone a wish? Is there like a special water or some type of soil that can speed up the process?
The Recordkeeper stroked her chin and furrowed her eyebrow. Let me think.
Do you miss Mervin? Vur asked and tilted his head, causing the Recordkeeper to shriek. She flapped her wings and clutched onto Vurs scales to prevent herself from falling off. Vur righted his head and continued staring at Stella, pretending as if he hadnt almost lost his passenger.
Lulu frowned and rolled her eyes up to look at Lindyss. Is this really necessary? the holy dragon asked. There was a large chunk of ice placed in the middle of her forehead, and Lindyss was sitting on top of it.
Its absolutely necessary, Lindyss said. I dont want to be tainted by whatever youve got going on.
Lulu snorted. I already stopped the spreading with my holy magic, she said. My head is cold.
Dont give me that nonsense excuse. You live in a frozen wasteland, Lindyss said. Even if you say whatever you have isnt spreading anymore, Im not going to risk it. What if I turn green as well? I have a lot of outfits, but none of them are meant to be worn by a green person.
I really do get cold! Lulu said. Our home might be located in a frozen wasteland, but its warm on the inside! Youve been there. Is my health really less important than your fashion?
Absolutely, Lindyss said. Under normal circumstances, Id prioritize your health, but you brought this upon yourself. Who told you to mess with things that have obvious warning signs around them? If something is sealed, dont you think you should leave it sealed?
I was curious!
You know what they say about curiosity.
That great discoveries have been made because of it?
Lindyss expression darkened. Unless you want to greatly discover what if feels like to be beaten by your mom, youll shut up and fly.
Lulu grumbled and gave Lindyss a dirty look. Are you sure Grimmy can solve my problem?
Grimmy is great at creating problems, Lindyss said. The only reason he isnt dead is because hes equally as good at solving them.
