The moment was heavy with anticipation and misgiving. I wasn't afraid, exactly, just not certain that bonding with a beast this untamed and unpredictable would prove a wise step for someone as prone to mishap as I.
But there I was, a mere finger-breadth away. No turning back now.
The decision made, my hand broached the last distance and alighted on his scaly snout, which turned out to be surprisingly cool to the touch, despite the surrounding warm air, hazy with vapor. His purple eyes narrowed slightly, but otherwise, the beast remained motionless. We each regarded the other with interest.
