"Also," he adds, once she's been updated. "The portal hub in Pantheon got a ton of renovations, I think we're calling it the Belfry now. It's very cute."
"Sushi and ice cream," agrees Max. He can't really kiss her while he's a deer, but he can nuzzle. Nuzzle nuzzle. "My ice cream's going to have sprinkles."
"All right. Let's - go talk to the dragon, then," she agrees, when they've departed.
"We have a plan," says Adana, in her best 'I am a nice angel' voice. "You'll get to go home and have your medallion back."
"We're going to attach a magical monitoring device to your medallion, in case you are planning anything, and have a member of our army of robots monitor it."
"You'll be entirely free. There will be no genocide of anyone you know, even if they happen to be dragons themselves. We just need to make sure that you don't try to hurt Phix again."
"What would we be curious about? We want to make sure you don't try to prevent us from resurrecting people, or traumatize Phix and Max some more. That's it. We don't care about your browsing history or your love life or anything."
The dragon growls, then says, "Agreed. Now can I move?"
"Unfortunately, we need a little while to make the magical monitoring device, and needed to make sure it was something you agreed to."
"I can't swallow anything. If it's going to take long I'm going to need to move at least my head for food and water."
"No you're not. What do you eat?"
"...I beg your pardon?"
"I am a demon of a kind you do not have at home. I can make stuff. I can make it in your stomach if I choose to. You could take this opportunity to receive the nutritional benefits of large quantities of salad if you want without having to actually eat the rabbit food, but I'm not keen to guess, because, dragon."
"...In this form I am, I think, carnivorous."
"Noted. There's some hydration for you. Holler when you're hungry."
"I'd be much more sympathetic if we didn't know something about how you handle prisoners in your care."
"We can probably also let you have ordinary bathroom breaks," she sighs. "With your medallion, since we're giving it back anyway. You'd have a monitor, of course."
"I'd make the robots early but I need to look at one first and clarify with Ice if she wants the new ones to be just alike. Also, I think they're networked. So I'm not sure who'd take the job."
