Mm. I've noticed they're not very smart. [ ... she says it in that same unruffled, matter-of-fact voice that somehow makes it worse than if she'd been intentionally trying to insult him. ] They react to things and follow orders but that's about it.
[ Of course, the same could very much be said of her as well, but that's a thread of self-loathing to pick at another time. Anyway! ]
Still, that's all the more reason I should be useful to you. Even if you don't have any need of my magic, surely you won't object to me keeping busy, will you?
[ Not that she's entirely sure what she could keep busy with. She can't cook, she's not strong enough to help with the maintenance of the castle, the grounds outside are barred but even if they weren't, it's not as if she knows anything about gardening. Really, there's no particular skill in any trade that would be helpful for a dragon. But she can't stand the thought of sitting around doing nothing for much longer. ]
