Chapter 17 (1/4)

gently embraced her by the shoulders.- Always in their own world forgetting about the beautiful ladies.

-As I rarely agree with you, I'll concede you're right.- Another dwarven sigh was laced with a beautiful theatrical nod from a heartbroken madmuazelle.- They want to grow up so fast.

-Women.- The smith's voice was barely audible, which Darius understood perfectly, but he preferred to refrain from commenting himself. He had already learned more than once that a word said in even the quietest whisper would be remembered and reproached him at the most inconvenient moment. Gizele had already made sure of that.- Let's go to the scalawags, because I need Draco for the rest.- Matheo had already said it in his usual booming voice.

They followed the women from the shop to the workshop where the dragon and elf were discussing something while leaning over some drawings. It was hard to tell what they were planning, but the mage preferred not to ask. Sooner or later everyone would find out, and this way at least he wouldn't spoil anyone's surprise.

-Draco, come here.- The smith beckoned the boy with his hand. Both boys approached as they quickly cleaned the papers off the table.

-Yes, we did great.- The blacksmith nodded vigorously.- But that's not the point.-He stroked his chin with his hand while watching the dragon carefully and calculating something.- It's about your payment for helping us with the tests.- Draco didn't have time to speak because Matheo patted him on the back in a friendly manner until it banged.- Don't even try!- The blacksmith clearly didn't feel like letting the dragon come to his senses. At least I now know why he urged me so strongly to come today. Darius smiled slightly as he saw the apparent resistance
