--And then the overwhelming thought is: to hell with it. It isn't as though she's ashamed of being a princess, and lying to her friends because she's afraid isn't acceptable.]
Well--I was a princess. So it's my job to make sure that people are safe.
[She's distracted from the actual reason she's good at fighting--which is still something she's reluctant to say--by the dragon figurine. Krile picks it up and looks at it from all angles, a smile spreading over her face.]
Oh, it's so lovely! Thank you--did you carve it yourself? [She turns it over in her hands.] And if a dragon wants to stand for prosperity and long life, I'm not going to argue with him about it.
