Lucy & Ric
Lucy laughed, the sound was light given the seriousness of the entire evening. She noticed the stutter to his step but thought nothing of it. Could he really not have known? She had forgotten how big of a deal it had been to her when she'd met the other dragon at the circus. She'd acted like a juvenile fangirl to some superstar. She could understand his reaction. "I'm honored then to be your first." She winked at him, a hint of mischief in her voice. She would have answered some of his questions if he'd asked and without annoyance but maybe that would happen at another time.
She nodded to him as she stepped onto the single step leading up to her brightly colored home. "Maybe next time we will have cheery things to talk about and naked shifters won't intrude. " She would have loved the entire gesture of kissing her knuckles but then again she was charmed by his gentlemanly behaviors. It reminded her of simpler times in her life and friends she'd made in England. "Good night Ric. Sleep well when you get there. "
