Max heads home, writes up everything he remembers from the trip to the moon with Cam and Adana, and then when his girlfriend gets home, he presents it to her happily.
"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."

"I don't know. I've never tried to take them like - this."
"Yes, but it isn't very good for opening bottles of aspirin."

"Good point. Hold on, I'll go get some aspirin and we can - try to figure that out. Er. If you try to escape while I'm gone and manage it I suspect that they'll go with the 'killing you' method so you don't cause any more trouble, rather than letting me try to negotiate, so - please don't. Okay?"
"I can't move," growls the dragon. "Not even enough to scratch the itch under my wing."
He looks at her dubiously. "You and what claws?"
ask_nicely
"You would be surprised," says Adana dryly.
She's an angel. She can just make claws.

"Left wing," he sighs. "Just under the joint."
ask_nicely
"Sure."
She goes to the wing in question, and then goes and gets herself some claws. She accomplishes this by dipping her fingers into the ground, telling parts of it to politely give her fingers a hug and then turning them to claws. They can be unattached easily enough, but for now, they'll do. Scratch scratch scratch?

"Thank you," says the dragon.

"You're welcome."
Once the itch is sufficiently scratched, she puts the claws back in the floor and smooths it over as if she'd never messed with it at all.
"I'll go get you some aspirin and see if they're willing to just let you go home, then."

"Good luck with that," sighs the dragon.

"Thanks."
She flies off to find her boyfriend. Because he is the best bet for aspirin, and also figuring out how to pitch it to the - victims of the dragon's onslaught.

Her boyfriend is hanging out on the mountainside near a shrub, with his computer. "Hi, angel. ...Did you leave the dragon unsupervised?"
ask_nicely
"Hey. Yyyyyeah, I told him it would be really stupid to try and escape and manage it, because then we just get tired of dealing with him and go with the killing method. Plus, I don't have cellphone service, I couldn't exactly call anyone to watch him."
from_scratch
"Should get a mage to make us those little mirrory rings. What do you need?"
ask_nicely
"Aspirin, he's complaining of a headache. And also he - seems to want to surrender and just go home and not try to attack Phix anymore. Because he knows we can resurrect the dead."
from_scratch
"And we know that he doesn't want to go get more dragons and kill Ice so that we cannot readily resurrect the dead how?"
ask_nicely
"He doesn't know about Ice. I declined to tell him how any of our magic worked."
from_scratch
"He knew the password to the portal. Somehow. I'm not sure I want to count on him not having more intel than we mention to his face."
ask_nicely
"... Fair. I should go find Idania or something to watch him while we're talking, because paranoia."

"Good plan. You could go back to the dragon and I can find her?" He makes a bottle of aspirin and hands it over.
ask_nicely
"Yeah. Thanks, sweetie."
She takes the aspirin in exchange for a kiss. And then she flies back to the dragon.

The dragon is right where she left him.
