Dragon: Drop that Icon!
“Of course, Draco,” she said solemnly. “It is our strict policy
never to include a private residence in our magazine without the
owner’s permission. I’m sorry you don’t wish to participate: it will be
a beautiful issue, with illustrations of each dragon’s furnishings and
fittings. I’m sure we can find others to take your place. I understand
your second cousin lives in Novosmursk: you wouldn’t happen to
have his address, by any chance?”
“My second cousin?” The dragon paused, and squashed his
leathery brows together in a frown of concentration. “I don’t have
any—wait, there was talk of my great-grandfather’s early days
wandering the countryside, spreading fear and destruction—and
maybe a few wild oats. You say this cousin has a cave worthy of your
attention?”
