Once Azar went back to his normal, cheerful dragon self, everyone was much relieved.
"How did you turn into a human baby, Azar?" King Jaren asked.
"Magic, Grandpapa," Azar said, his little face condescending and adorable in equal measures.
King Jaren chuckled. "Did you like it?" he asked.
Azar shook his head resolutely.
"You looked very cute, though, just like your Mommy and Daddy," Jules said. "Why didn't you like it?"
"No talk, Uncle Jules," Azar replied crossly. He had been awfully frustrated as a human baby because whenever he tried to speak only a gurgling noise would come out! Human form was not good! He couldn't talk to his family! How tiresome!
"Well, that's true," Jules could only agree with the pouting little dragon. "Maybe you can try turning into a human baby again when you have brothers and sisters in the future, then you can baby talk together."
Raven blushed furiously and Mana glared at her Big Brother.
