Intermission 17 Page 3

When I came home looking like this, did you refuse to feed me?

Or did you take the time to learn what I need to eat, and start making an entire separate dinner just for me from then on?

Because I was still Lara.

And when I started learning handsigns, did I say thank you for that?

Or did I tell you to cook faster before I decided to eat you instead?

Because I will always still be Lara.

Just like you’ll always still be Mac, who cooks for his friends even when they’re giant spiders who are mean and tease him all the time.

Anyway, if you ARE a dragon, you’re clearly a shrimpy one.

If you go crazy and try to make yourself king of the manor,I’ll probably just eat you.
