It blossomed, though, a smudge of grey against the bruised sky, and that was enough. But in that moment Ocellus was certain that whatever Smolder did would have been enough.
"Been waiting a while, now." The broad scratch of Smolder's voice seemed to send the smoke into a spiralling oblivion. "Feels like it's been forever."
Ocellus smiled into her clawed hand. "It has, my love. But I'm sure something will happen soon."
Intriguingly ambiguous.
Well, there's a thing.
I have wanted to do a thing with cigarettes in dragon stories. In fact i hade written a draft of how this effects them positively or just like a candy. Others hate it but Smolder and other dragons explained the uses and more to it.
It's good to see you again too.
