latter was also delighted with this little display.-I am honoured.
-I guess I should be the one to say it.- Matheo couldn't take his eyes off him.-It's gone to good hands.- He smiled radiantly and grasped the dragon in the embrace he had bestowed on Bleist earlier. Draco felt the smith's strength against his own skin. He hadn't thought the man had that much of it before, and he was no longer surprised by his master's reaction to this bear hug.
-You're going to strangle him.- Bleist murmured, touching his ribs as if to see if they were still whole.- Besides, you haven't seen anything yet.- He added even more quietly.
At this statement Matheo turned towards the mage with incredible speed, and Draco was finally able to catch his breath freely. The blacksmith looked as if curiosity was about to tear him apart.
-What do you mean?- Asked the excited big man.
-Oh, nothing much.- Bleist pushed himself away from the counter and adjusted his coat.- Why don't you drop by sometime and we'll have a chat,- he asked as he started to make his way towards the exit. As soon as he did Draco was momentarily beside him which surprised both the blacksmith and James.-We have to go now or Oscar won't let me live for the next week. I think I've already given him a hard time anyway.- He muttered scratching his head with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
-You're already going?- Matheo looked surprised.- That's not like you. You always stayed at least for a while.
-We still have a few things to take care of.-The mage smiled.- You know how much I dislike dealing with paperwork, and there's a lot of it waiting for me after I've dragged out my leave.-He sighed heavily.-I want to get it done as soon as possible.
-Busy as usual.- Matheo waved his hand and shook his head.-You never have time for anything.
-Maybe you'll stop by tomorrow for dinner with your wife.- Bleist asked, turning away from the door.
-Would lo...
-Darius Bleist!- A woman's voice drowned
