After Bai Shi’s chiding, Wuyi sunk into the lung dragon’s fluff. The white sheet slipped over xyr eyes, and the cub struggled to pull it off xyr head. Unable to see what was happening, the kid’s ears twitched as xe listened to the conversation. Besides, this was diplomatic stuff, boring leader things. Xe didn’t need to see any of it… right?

“The yellow one’s mean… I don’t want to talk like that,” Wuyi mumbled. Xe rested xyr chin on Bai Shi’s shoulder.

Wuyi stiffened when xe heard the stomping and snapping jaws of a large creature. Xe pawed at the sheet covering xyr eyes again, trying to see, and finally succeeded in pulling the whole thing off. Then the child froze, blinking at the giant reptile-like creature. Xe glanced to Stheno and Stryker, trying to understand the giant animal’s strange behavior.

“You… mean like a game?” xe asked Stheno, shivering against Bai Shi’s neck. “That’s not a fun game at all.”

Remembering what Bai Shi told xem earlier, about the safest place to be should anything attack, Wuyi unfurled xyr wings. Half-climbing, xe fluttered up to Bai Shi’s head, wrapping vis front arms around one of their horns. Xe hunkered in their mane, trying to hide in the long fur.
