The dragon's head remained bowed as the snake shared its wisdom, contemplating on the words and the patience they seemed to urge. There was regret, too, that now two such ancient and intelligent creatures had died within the Spire. The Tulmhainar's experiences and wisdom had been lost, but perhaps the serpent's would remain, if not in this form than another, as Rae rewarded their servant for a job done long and well. Indeed, it would be a tale for the history books - or at least, the Loreseeker Guild Chronicles, for future generations to read.
The offer of a scale should have been more surprising, but the morning's calm magic made anything seem possible. Jigano's tail slowly curled and uncurled slowly around Loren and Adam as he hesitated, but the offering was made freely, and the guardian was beyond death now. Beyond pain, too, the dragon hoped, as he balanced on his hind legs and reached forward to hook a talon as delicately as he could beneath a scale, attempting slice it free as cleanly and swiftly as his sharp claw would permit. Thank you for this, he sent gratefully. It is a gift beyond price.
+2 to Endr, please!
