"I can see that it is much more important than I think. But I am limited to what I have seen. You are much more open than the other dragons we have met. There was one bonded with a tamer and it was arrogant but very very good at forging and controlling fire. Then, umm, Illia, was not as, well, as open."
"That right there is the issue. Say what you want without any fear of repercussions. A dragon is powerful and proud. Even if you are wrong you speak with force and stand for what you say." Adair had an angry tone in her voice that spoke to how important this was.
Walker swallowed and watched as Midnight gave him some inquisitive looks. She was used to him being kind and had even seen him angry. But overly proud and forceful was not part of his normal personality. "To say the least Illia was not the best representation of a dragon. I would say she is better off starting overall together. You are nearly an elder dragon, you can teach her better."
Every fifty years isn't too bad. Unless that is just a benchmark...
