"Soul-bonded?" Cam said. They knew that some people in Caido had supernatural creatures at their sides, but they'd never heard that term before.
And then Loki entered the room and it was time for Cam to stare at her in awe. "Oh, wow. Hello, Loki. You're beautiful."
They stood up -- slowly, not wanting to startle the dragon -- to get a better look at her, though they didn't try to come any closer, unsure how such an approach would be received. Ronin's dragon had seemed docile enough, but Cam suspected it would be a bad idea to treat a dragon cavalierly. And they weren't sure she was happy to see them -- they weren't exactly good at dragon body language or anything, but they thought they read some tension in Loki's muscles.
"Hm -- oh, no. Sorry, he didn't say anything about that, just that the Dragoons would fight alongside dragons. I just sort of ..." Cam trailed off, unsure how to explain that they'd read so many books about people riding dragons that it had seemed like the natural result of pairing humans with dragons. But after all: "I don't know how big the Dragoons' dragons get. The one Ronin had with him was pretty small."
