turning into something caustic

"Sugar is a dragon," Ronin informed Seren with a smile. "She's only very small - a little smaller than Haai, I would say. But she can be very grumpy." He winked, already rising to his feet. Seren's worries and Sunjata's obvious discomfort was enough for him to reconsider, and the hunter smiled between them both. "Well, we will need to make a fire in our house and you'll need to sit and warm up for a bit before you can help. But then yes, you can clean too." He nodded at Jata, holding a hand out for Seren. "And we can let Sunjata here get on with his day then, can't we? We'll come by and visit him later maybe." Or get drunk later that night, as it would turn out to be in Ronin's case. RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
