Not only the Sun Dragon but also Gerald was having fun in their second meeting. But he had to cut short that fun before he got caught and was presented with death.
Besides, it was not only about him anymore. He had Theodora, who was waiting outside, trusting him with her life. And then there was Bertha, the love of his life, waiting for him to come back and make her his.
He couldn't break their trust. And for that, he needed to complete his mission and get out of that place where he was constantly chased by danger.
But the Sund Dragon seemed in a playful mood. It kept licking Gerald, nudging him with its sharp nails but carefully.
Gerald was laughing, smiling, and letting the Sun Dragon have its way to gain its complete trust. This one time he jumped out of the dragon's way when it tried to poke him. Gerald looked up at the dragon tauntingly, but then his eyes fell on something behind it.
