Soh laughed a little as Mateo offered a corrected question. "His name's Jude," she confided in her friend. "He's been my best friend for ages, but then recently he kissed me, and now we're dating." She hadn't meant to ramble on quite so much, but Soh hadn't had many friends with whom to talk about her love life, and so there were only a few people who knew about her and Jude. "Sorry," she said, blushing.
Dragons, though, were an easier topic of conversation, and Soh listened with rapt attention to the information Mateo provided, her fingers itching for her journal to jot down some notes - except that would be rude, and she was anything but that. "Fascinating," she said, something like awe in her voice. "But it must have been so exciting to see one in the wild!" she added in response to his joke, wrinkling her nose at her friend. Then her mood shifted. "I already owe one of your fathers enough," she said softly, thinking again of the man who had been so helpfully taken care of.
