Wise in the ways of stealing treats and working a party, Boreal eeled her muscular bulk between two more groups of drinkers while her human became entangled with one as he tried to get past them and spilled a glass of something pink and fizzy. Chortling to herself, she cast about for her next opportunity and her nostrils widened as the smell of fresh meat wafted from nearby.
Her bright eyes, pale beneath her curving horns, sought out the source of the clicking that usually accompanied illicit goodies and watched with interest and draconic greed as a red-haired woman let fall a meaty treat to the sand at her feet.
The big companion didn't pounce on the tidbit, though the tip of her tail twitched in definite interest. Instead she padded over with her attention focused on the morsel and dipped her head to accept it with an almost regal dignity. Two perfunctory bites and a swallow took care of the evidence and then she looked back up at her benefactor, seeing there was more meat on the stick. She sat back on her haunches, as neat as could be, and looked up at the young woman with soulful eyes that seemed to say: in spite of what you might think, I am, in fact, a starving dragon who has never been fed, ever.
