Shaylee nodded and retook her seat, settling for trying the cheese and crackers. "Apology accepted." She said simply. She watched him and the way he kept looking at Xatia.

Aurora looked away at the question, flinching a little at it. She should have expected the conversation to make such a turn, yet she hadn't been prepared. "Dragons are so mixed these days that any one can hatch out any kind. It was not always that way, dragons used to breed true to type, according to the stories." A light shrug accompanied that "Such things were before we came to Earth. My mate..." She paused and shook some thought away "My mate and I bred true before my last hatching and his death. We were both water dragon and fey and so were the hatchlings we had together." She said then paused again and looked to Maxton. "There has always been a golden queen to rule over all dragons, the only dragon to have the golden scales in all of our kind. She can be hatched to any female, though if you study the histories, it is most often to older females. My Estelle is that queen for this generation. I cannot tell how Elle will change things simply by existing now. There has never been two gold dragons before."

Anna nodded and sighed, leaning against his side again and taking in his scent :One cup of coffee is not going to be enough for all of that." She said softly then smiled again "Jason will be glad of that, and to see his Luce again."

Kristen grinned and stepped back to shake herself again "Oh, was I still wet?" She asked teasingly then bolted for the cave, laughing merrily along the way.
