[The idea of dragons, actual dragons, it something that Elena finds hard to entirely wrap her head around. She mentally wonders if the inhuman thing is a physical or behavioral thing.]

So he actively tries not to...get too close to people?

[It...makes sense, if she's only thinking about it with her head.]

So he's had to adjust, just like the rest of us.

[chessing]

Oh, yes, certainly. More than others, perhaps, given that when he arrived, Shadowkind were still viewed as myths or superstitions in many quarters of the world. I imagine some of the distancing might have come from necessity, in those days.

But it's also to allow him to maintain a clear head. He asks the same of Thomas and I, though to a much lesser degree.

[notaroundme]

It's probably easier for him to do that if he's back running things all the time. I think it would be hard to distance yourself too much if you're in the thick of it with us all the time.

[Then again, her only exposure to the knights was being on a mission. Maybe things were calmer than she thought, but based on what she's heard? She doubts it.]

[dragonsclaw]

Not to mention that we started out precisely as you are now: squires in this organization. It's difficult to sever those bonds one builds over time.

[notaroundme]

Getting thrown into near death situations with people tends to do that. Over that length of time? I think something like that would be impossible.

[A beat.]

You haven't been a Knight for almost a century too, have you?

[chessing]

Certainly not. I can barely boast over a decade.

[notaroundme]

That still seems like a long time from where I'm standing, though.

[dragonsclaw]

I suppose it might, at that. I didn't even know how long I intended to serve with the Knights when I was first recruited. I don't think I meant to make a career out of it, but it turned out to be everything I was searching for.

[notaroundme]

I hope it can become that for me, too.

[dragonsclaw]

As do I. [ he nods politely ] I'll leave you to your thoughts. I just wished to give you my best regards.
