“Are you strutting, Wifey?" asked Mini. Aiden suddenly slowed. Brynne looked him over and snorted. "Yup, he's definitely strutting." "Am not," said Aiden. "Yeah you are!" , said Aru, laughing. "Am not" "R-2-" "D-2-," said Aiden before giving up and shaking his head. "Why are you guys like this?" "Boredom," said Mini. "Belligerence," said Brynne. "Brilliance," said Aru. The three of them grinned at each other.”

Brynne scowled. “Okay, well, definitely no food—” Aiden dug out five protein bars and tossed them in front of the tents. Rudy stared at him. “Dude, what is in that bag?” “Precautionary stuff,” said Aiden simply.”

“As Aru slipped away, she could've sworn she heard Aiden say "Maybe he didn't see you in the right light, Shah." But she must have been dreaming.”

“The things that scare us can also give us joy. We just have to learn how to see them in a different light.”

“Uh, what kinda dragon are we talking about here?” said Aru nervously. “Like Smaug sitting on all his gold, or like a cute friendly little baby Norbert hanging out in Hagrid’s cauldron?”

“Rein in the optimism Shah, It's too much.”
