Enraptured

She was interested, far more interested in this male than the previous earth male that had tried to woo her. He was big, strong, powerful, with giant sharp fangs and muscular hands that ended in deadly points. Now this…this was a worthy opponent. His feathered scales were a dusty grey, with swirling yellow marks racing up his legs like golden veins. He had a feathered crest and magnificent celestial running from the back of his head, all the way down to the tip of his giant tail. A sight to behold indeed. Perhaps she would take the time to humor him, after all it couldn’t hurt right?

When he had first seen her, he was enraptured right away. He couldn’t remember seeing a dragon with so many visible markings before. When he was able to get closer he noticed the more finer details. The green mane, the blue spots,and the sandstone marking across the majority of her body, it was all very nice to look at. Her large wings, spiked tail, curled horns and sharp fangs were also something to look at. She was smaller than him but he reckoned she could hold her own pretty well. He had spent quite a bit of time admiring her and he could tell she didn’t seem to mind it too much.

Today was hot, uncomfortably so, which didn’t seem to bother her too much but she could only imagine the strain it might have had on the colossal male. However, if he was uncomfortable, he didn’t let it show, in fact his facial expression remained rather pleased. He had tilted his head curiously at her, most likely making sure he had her undivided attention, as he should. When he made a noise at her, she felt it beneath all four of her feet and glanced down, blinking a few times before redirecting her gaze back to him. He had tilted his head again, ever so slightly, making sure she hadn’t decided he was too much yet. Reirsyphys, instead of losing interest, sat down, waiting to see what the colossal dragon had up his sleeve next. God took this as a very good sign and continued with his efforts.

He smiled carefully, soundlessly asking her to stay where she was and when she agreed, he turned to leave. He had special things for moments like these, trinkets and what not, that he had collected throughout his life. He took it slow as he moved, as always trying not to disrupt the ecosystem around him as he walked. He was gone for perhaps a bit longer than he had wanted to be but he had to find the perfect gift and he had so many to choose from. He had bright gems of various colors and sizes, gold pieces that shimmered, rather obnoxiously, in the light. What to choose, what to choose…he felt the clock ticking as he pondered, he needed to get back soon or else Reirsyphys might lose interest and if she lost interest now, she might never get that interest back. He settled on a golden necklace of sorts, studded with gems that glittered, seeming to change color at every angle.

He returned, letting out a happy rumble when he saw that she was indeed still waiting for him. She glanced up when she felt, rather than heard, him. He crouched as low as he could, practically laying down to be closer to eye level with her. He offered the necklace, which looked to be for a tiny human child compared to his gigantic hands. She took it from him and when she held it up to the light, it shimmered and changed colors, just as he knew it would. She took it happily and relief washed over the massive dragon.
