sprawled in one of the dilapidated armchairs. She was looking at a human, not a dragon, and could not see the asymmetrical sphere around him.
-You have succeeded,- she said when the first shock of such unexpected success had passed. Jeviev had thought all along that Draco would need some time to get to grips with his new challenge, but he only needed a few days to do so.
-Yes.- He replied standing up.
The elfess ran up to him and hugged him. She didn't know why, but she felt she had to do it. To her pleasant surprise, the dragon reciprocated the hug. After a moment, she pulled away from the man and looked at him. At first she didn't know what she was uncomfortable with in her friend, what had changed about him. However, after just a moment, she was sure what it was about. Draco was more confident than ever. She could see it in his posture, hear it in his tone of voice and see it in his steely eyes, which had suddenly gained an almost extraordinary depth.
-It's enough to leave you for a day and you already change almost beyond recognition.-She pretended to be irritated, but she knew that the wide smile must betray her.-As usual, anyway.- She added a bit dryly.
-Don't exaggerate, okay?- Draco smiled, clasping his hands on his chest.-You can't complain that much. If it wasn't me then who would be providing your entertainment?-He asked with a sassy glint in his eye.
-You really have changed.- She muttered looking at him even more closely.
-I guess it was inevitable.-The dragon laughed briefly and glanced at the bag Jeviev had on her shoulder.-I hope you have something to eat in there?
-As usual, only about one thing.- She shook her head with feigned disapproval.-This will probably never change.
-You know me.- Draco winked at her.-So...?- He chuckled expectantly.
-Oh, all right, but let's sit down and you have to tell me what you've come to.
-Of course.- He replied while helping her take their dinner out of the bag.
