D-160: Birch's Den

Den Theme: Big Warehouse

It was a quiet place, giant and perhaps condescending in a way. Perhaps a bit lonesome but that was fine, That’s the way Birch preferred it. It sat at the outskirts of town, a strange building that no townsfolk seemed interested in going near. Perhaps it was because they knew the owner who would occasionally come into town for things here and there or perhaps it was the large dragon he owned, just as crabby as its rider? Even now they seemed to be bickering, a strange sight considering their size difference. The inside of the massive warehouse was primarily empty, at least for now. At the entrance lay a large dinosaur of a dragon, breathing out a puff of smoke from her nostrils as they flared in irritation. Her rider rolled his eyes, continuing his work despite her clear aggravation. This was normal in this giant warehouse, another reminder of why no one who lived around here approached it or them in general. The large dragon huffed again, opening her mouth to let out a small jet of flames that finally seemed to catch her riders attention.

“Don’t do that.” This time Valaria rolled her eyes and shifted her head to look away from him and out of the large open doors. Birch was grateful the entire building was made of metal and not wood, otherwise Valaria’s little tantrum might have actually set the entire thing on fire. The dragon rumbled, a sound that seemed to nearly shake the walls and Birch lifted his head to look around, to make sure nothing had actually fallen off the walls. “You’re free to go absolutely anywhere else.” His voice wasn’t sharp, not the biting retort of someone who hated their dragon but permission for the dragon to go away and stop bothering him. She took it, rolling to her feet in one giant motion and leaving, nearly dwarfed by the size of the warehouse.
