Mercedes Lackey Quote
Adamant was clearly not long on tact. Periapt had tried to be diplomatic and Adam had blundered right into what could have been an uncomfortable moment.But the girl in question just laughed and the awkwardness passed.For a moment Andie sobered. Because the way that Adam had so bluntly blurted Like eat her, reminded her that these were 'dragons' after all, and there were as many bad dragons as good dragons. And, yes, if the compulsion had been strong enough, they would have eaten the maidens. They would have felt dreadful afterward, but-But they 'were' dragons. This was what dragons sometimes did.She had to chuckle a second time, because after so short a time with them, the two were now Peri and Adam in her mind, and they already showed distinct personalities.
