With a confident chuckle, "Those hunters always tend to underestimate my strength, but I rather not cross with them again. My last encounter with one is a stubborn one and we both injured each other badly from combat that is easily avoidable. But I must have said something to wound their pride if only a little."

He packs and loads on her wagon to repay her back dinner. "Come now. To me this is a tiny fraction of what I have. I never like to be in debt to a human, but this is just my gratitude for a fine dinner."

She comes close to give him a kiss. He's very tall, so she must stand on tippy toes to reach him but she couldn't unless he bends over to close the distance.

He placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "Be careful what you offer to a dragon, my dear. If you're going to offer a kiss, tis better if it's I."

No, he doesn't understand humans or their need affection. He leads a lonely life as a dragon for centuries so he's fine without a need. Yet he doesn't see why not in giving.

He bends over, tilts his head, and gives her a quick kiss to the lips. "There. Now let's load up everything else in your wagon and I'll escort you back to the village."

She blinks before giggling a little bit. "You are quite the ledgendary dragon, even for my village." She frowns and gains a worried expression on her face. "I... am glad that you are fine now. I will do my best to chase away any potential hunters from you."

And so much food! Even if it was to repay her, this was still a bit much. "Even still, to me our pact was more than enough to repay for the dinner but, thank you." She won't have to work for a while to feed herself.

Embarrassment will soon follow once she realizes that he misunderstood her intentions with the kiss. A small flush creeps up on her cheeks. "Is it because dragons are known to be greedy? I offer a kiss to give my thanks for the food."

And yup! Her blush deepens at the quick kiss. "...." So much blushing and not going to tell him it was her first official kiss. "Al-Alright, though you truly don't need to give this one anymore."

She will wait for him to finish loading before moving herself into position to start pulling her wagon behind her. "You may enjoy the village. Everyone has their own dragon." She blinks as she realizes that she has a dragon as well and goes to smile as brightly as she can up at him. "Yes, everyone has one, so you may be able to find something you like.... Or for one of your stature, you may have some people try and make you into their dragon."

"Well, I never though I achieve such status of being a legend. But then again my kind never like to appear to human much less make a pact and bond with one. Still, that's very kind of you, but I fear those hunters won't simply be shooed away by the sight of a village maiden."

He shook his head, "No. A kiss should be between mates. I never find myself have a desire for one. I lived alone for centuries." He continued to smile. "It's nice. You're the first human I kissed." He didn't see anything wrong with that.

"So I heard to those believers who find themselves worthy of befriending a dragon." Once everything loaded on the wagon. "I'll walk with you." He pulls the wagon as if it wasn't weight anything at all and pulls it through the narrow cavern and out onto the forest path where there's no path but trees, rocks, dirt and grass.

"Try to memorize this path. This way will lead you back to the village. Though I probably have to fly you there myself once I become familiar."

"Well, you are quite magical and powerful even from what little bit I saw. Still... I will do my best to chase them away so you won't get hurt again."

She blinks before blushing quite a bit and nods her head. "I see... I can see why you stopped me then." She then frowns when he mentions just how long he has live alone. "I... Am sorry. Then perhaps we can be a companion for each other whenever you want some." Her blush deepens and slowly nods. ".... And you are the very first.... That I kissed."

And good! A change in topic. "Yes, they may find it hard to believe that I have befriended you. So, don't be surprise at how they may react to the both of us." But then he was pulling the wagon and suddenly she wasn't sure how to react, not used to having someone help her like this. "Th-Thank you...."

At his instructions, she softly nods and does her best to memorize the bath. "Ah, flying? You don't have to do that." But it would be fun to experience flying. "It sounds like you have been to my village before."

"I appreciate the thought. It's best if you leave the strong to the true warriors. Your fragile frame is delicate to even withstand a blow." He said.

"I think we spoke of companionship. The dinner is a good start. Now we just need to walk off our meal."

Pulling the wagon through the forest, "Of course, I know every village of this region." He points to his head. "Remember, I fly around so there's a map inside of my head of the entire continent."

In a few moments, about a ten-minute walk, they're on the path, the familiar road where travelers travelled. "Here we are. Your village is up north." He pulls the wagon further up the road and her village is in sight, with the lights of the buildings and abode light up the town against the night sky.

Just a few yards before the gate that protects the village where the guards can be seen within sight and he lets go of the wagon. "And this is where we part ways my dear."

Ah, he brings up a good point and a part of her hated it. "You are right. Be careful whenever you meet hunters."

A soft chuckle leaves her at his words. "Yes, but it was something that I wanted of you. But I am offering it for you as well." She holds up a finger. "So it could be both ways."

Leanne does her best to keep up with him, allowing her body to rest from the wagon pulling. "I wonder what the village looks like from the skies."

The sight of her village makes her smile but yet sad as she knows that they will part soon. "It seems like your cave isn't far from the village." Which is good. Once they reach the gates and he accounces that they will part, she nods softly and a part of her was relieved that he wouldn't see what her home looks like.

"Until the next time we see each other then." She beams up at him as she moves to take his place to pull the wagon. "Be safe on your way back to your cave, stay away from hunters."

"I wouldn't worry about hunters, I can take care of myself." He grins. "And let's not rush into that bond." He said. "You have much to learn about me and my kind." Part of him wasn't sure she could handle it, but he's pretty sure there's tests and trials they must passed together before they could reach that kind of bond.

"It depends on what path you take. Shall you seek me, there's the other route I show you. So don't take this path twice. The entrance to my cave there's an illusion magic so you won't be able to find it again." He warns.

"Until then. Good night, Ms.Leanne. I shall see you tomorrow morning if you like? I'll come over to greet you and see what your village is like other than the markets."

"I am glad." She lets out a soft sigh, smiling up at him. "Yes, but the offer will be open to you." A small tilt of her head. "Really? Well, we have all my life for me to learn about you and your kind."

"The other route? Okay I will do my best to keep your warning to heart." She giggles. "Or perhaps I will head to the spot where we first met and use food to lure you to me again."

And okay, she perks up and moves to give him a hug, nodding her head firmly. "I would love that. Shall we meet at the gate?" She lets go of him if she was able to hug him. "Shall I make you some breakfast for you to enjoy while seeing the village?"

"I'll meet you in front of the gate appearing in this form. If that's your plan, then I'm looking forward to a hearty helping of scrambled eggs and a dish of hashbrowns or roast potatoes. Whatever you have, breakfast is the best meal to start the day."

This is something he should get used to. Never before he worked with a human like her in ages. But to be fair, he predicated he won't be bored because has been for a while now. And she was too cheerful, generous, and humble but she has her reasons to form a contract with him.

"Mm. Until tomorrow then. Good night." And he bids her farewell.
