"It can't be simple charity. Humans aren't motivated by generosity." He said, shaking his head. "There must be something you want since I don't have any of those."

His eyes sparkled at the sight. "Hot cocoa you say?" He might as well try it and take a leap of faith to trust her. "You promise to give me that?"

He reaches out to take the thermos and with a sip, sure enough, he slowly drank it down for the warmth. "It's good and very rich and sweet."

"Well, you are stronger than me and probably have more endurance as well. I don't know if I can pull my wagon as well as you could." She answers as honestly as she possibly can.

When his eyes sparkle, she couldn't help but to blush and let out a small giggle. "Yes, I promise to give you that. I will even make extra for you to drink when you leave so you can enjoy it later on."

Leanne smiles as gently and proudly as she can. "Is there anything I can do to improve it you think?"

"Yes, that's true. I'm not sure about being strong enough." He won't admit that he tends to flee from the mere sight of a bear. He wins most battles by not fighting. "But if you want me to pull your wagon, I might as well give it a try."

He has a hard time believing her and trusting her. Perhaps she needs a strategy to win him over such giving him far better, high quality treats.

"I think it's good. If you're giving me more just to pull your wagon, then perhaps...yes. I can do that." She's winning him over at least.

She smiles up at him, holding a cookie out towards him to encourage him to enjoy a treat. "Well, if you can't do it then it will be okay. It is mostly filled with sandwiches, treats and hot cocoa." Though when he relented, she beamed up at him. "Thank you! That is all I am asking."

It was obvious that he didn't quite trust her yet. It was just baby steps in winning him over.

"Yes, I can give you more for pulling my wagon. I can do the majority of the work and you just need to pull the wagon. Though I might put some bells on you to be cute."

His eyes brighten up and he takes the cookie to eat it, nibble on it, and finds it just as delicious as the previous treats. "I could. Do you need me to pull the wagon now?" Ah manual labor, but if that means more treats, that means more food for him and some food he could save to take back to his family.

He shook his head, "I'm not one wearing for bells." He said shyly.

He was so cute nibbling on the cookie! Leanne goes to shake her head at his question. "Not now but tomorrow. I will need to prepare the food for us to hand out but I promise to make lots so there will hopefully be enough leftovers for you to take home."

She goes to nod her head. "It's okay, though you probably would have looked adorable wearing them." She goes to stretch. "I am Leanne. It is a pleasure to meet and work with you starting tomorrow."

A small pause before realizing that he might not know what she was going to do.

"Ah, we will be handing out food to those who may need a good meal during these winter nights. A warm drink and meal."

Whether she could be trusted remains to be seen. For now, it seems she just looking for manual labor with fair pay. He remembers his father's words to be careful of humans and exercise precaution.

He wants to make sure it's a fair trade for manual labor. He wants to accept her praise, wanted to believe her, and trust this human, if only he wouldn't worry his father.

"Okay tomorrow then. But it must be fair compensation. So, food I want and need." He said, to feed himself and his family. Hopefully this will help him and his big family.

Leanne continues to smile up at him, unaware of how what was going through his thoughts.

She moves closer to him, "Hey, if you want... You can follow me home and you can take a basket of food home with you."

She claps her hands and tried not to cheer when he agreed. "I will do my best to give you fair compensation. If I ask for anything than I mentioned to you already, I will pay you extra." Need? What does he need? "Need? What else do you want beside food?"

Sweet blue eyes widen in surprised and confusion. More of confusion. "You want me to follow you home?"

He looks around. "No one invites a dragon to a human home. Do you think it will be all right?" But the sound of food makes his stomach rumble. He just ate and he's hungry already yet again.

"Chickens?" He said as his answer. "Lots of meats." Already licking his lips. "In particular, you humans have what you called a barbeque, with the meats all smoked." He said.

He can't hide his excitement, "If it's all right, I can follow you." She looks trustworthy and it doesn't seem to be trick.

Those blue eyes, they were so sweet and gentle. "Yes, you look like you are hungry and it would be where we will meet to start work."

She goes to smile even more. "Yes, it will be and if anyone has a problem with it, then they will have to answer to me." An attempt at assuring him. Emerald eyes blink at the sound of his stomach growling.

"I do have a few chickens... They are currently brooding some eggs so if you are patient, I can offer you a couple of them after they are done brooding." I offered to him before blinking before giggling. "I can barbeque meats for you. Any particular type of meat you wish to be smoked?"

Leanne smiles and turns to start walking back to the village. "It is quite alright, but if it is too much, you can stop following me home." She beams and keeps on walking. "Do you have a mate and family?"
