But here they were and with a pair of dragon eggs nestled safely in a crate for transportation. The white pearlescent sheen was a clear indicator that these were a pair of Swedish Short-Snouts, twins perhaps, and it really was quite the tale as to how they had fallen into the care of Creatures and Cwtches Sanctuary...which was not (yet?) equipped to handle dragons.

Derf was still doing repairs to the fences and barns the infant erumpent had created before being transferred elsewhere. They were, for now, still a humble ranch and rehabilitation facility - and home.

He hadn't exactly dressed up...but he WAS wearing a clean white shirt which was a rarity these days. Turning to grin at his wife (still wild to use that word), he couldn't help but ask... "Where do you think we could, eventually, fit a dragon section on the sanctuary?"

Purely rhetorical and whimsical thinking here. Probably.

Chloe would have kept the dragon eggs, if she could. Would have kept them, and built a nest for them right next to the fat pot-bellied stove in their house, and then wept over them every day until they cracked open. She'd already wept over them a little every day they'd been in the Kettleburn-Ashburry-Hawthorne keeping, but those were happy tears and hormonal tears. And also heartbroken tears because the baby dragons were going to grow up without her as their mother.

She was a mess, wasn't she?

"If we could ward and clear the back acre... never. We need more space so they don't feel confined." Oh, Chloe was tearing up again. CONFINED. "But we could keep them just a little while until they're too big to sleep in our bed, right? I think that would be okay. And baby dragons that are raised near humans aren't completely doomed upon reintroduction to the wild, even if every study I found says they are. We could be the first. It would be very good advertisement."
