Dragon: Drop that Icon!

The ground shook as the dragon hastened after her.
“Wait!” he croaked, as she turned around to face him, an
expression of innocent inquiry planted on her face. “Perhaps I could
make an exception and give you a brief tour of the premises. You
must be careful: I wasn’t prepared for visitors, and the remains of
lunch are scattered everywhere.”
“Well,” she said, casting an anxious glance back in the direction she
had been heading. “I hadn’t planned to spend this much time out
here. Your cave is quite remote, not at all easy to locate. I do have an
appointment to keep in Spoznarsk.”
“Never mind that,” Draco rejoined, attempting to suppress his
usual impatience with human forms of sociability and interspecies
limitations on communication. “Come take a look at what I’ve done
with just bare walls and a few choice acquisitions. It won’t take long.”
