He was quite tall, hovering at least six inches above Dawn, and wasn't smiling. His eyes appeared to take everything in, and nothing got past him. She didn't know how anyone would want to try and defy him looking like that.
The dragonman was definitely a little intimidating. Dawn hoped some of the others would be less so or her evening would be a long one.
Doing her best to calm her heart rate, she forced a smile and said, "Hello. I'm Dawn Chadwick, Daisy's mum."
The dragonman grunted. "I'm Kai. Now, follow me. I'll take you to the great hall, where everything is happening tonight."
He turned and walked away, clearly expecting them to follow. Daisy whispered loudly, "We have to keep up. Come on, Mum."
Daisy took her hand and pulled her at almost a run. Dawn, never the runner, struggled to keep up.
So much for looking cool and collected for when she encountered nearly an entire dragon clan. She only hoped they understood that being Daisy's mum meant handling everything by the seat of your pants.
Blake Whitby frowned at the empty stage as barely a few puffs of smoke erupted. There should've been more, much more, according to his calculations.
His inner dragon—the second personality inside his head—yawned and spoke up. It's enough smoke for a children's play. I don't know why you're spending so much time on this.
You're the one who said we needed to get out more. This is me trying, although your other request for finding a mate isn't going to happen.
It doesn't have to be tonight. But tinkering, and calculating, and the other boring rubbish you like so much isn't enough for me. You can have that during the day, but I want sex at night.
Blake mentally sighed. Again with the sex? Don't you remember what happened last time we tried to find someone to occupy you?
His beast huffed. Don't act as if it's merely for me, and it wasn't that bad. You should be happy since I didn't get any sex in the end anyway.
Right, tell yourself it wasn't embarrassing.
However, it had been that bad. The female had refused to do anything until she could see his dragon form and take a picture.
Which Blake had refused.
He was a white dragon with a black spot, which was extremely rare. Almost like the unicorn of dragons, especially since his black spot was more iridescent than plain black.
Every female—not to mention quite a few males—wanted to see and touch the spot for luck or to make a wish.
Granted, it was better than when he'd been younger and everyone had teased him for it, calling it the dirty spot.
To avoid the attention, both good and bad, Blake preferred working by himself and living alone in a small cabin just outside Stonefire's main living area.
Only because he loved volunteering with the children at school, hoping to encourage them to study the sciences, had he ended up helping with the children's play.
Which meant he needed to get it right. Especially since he'd been paired with a human volunteer who would probably be of no help at all.
His dragon grunted. Stop assuming the worst. Just tinker with whatever you need to make more smoke come out, and then it'll give us more time to peruse all the human females coming tonight. They won't care about our spot or want to touch it for luck. It can just be sex, and more sex, until we pass out.
With a sigh, Blake walked back toward the small area being used as his base for controlling the special effects. We can fly and hunt tomorrow instead. You like that.
If we do any more of that, I'll be too fat to fly soon.
I don't want to talk about this anymore. Now, be quiet so I can finish this on time. Otherwise, we'll disappoint the children.
Since inner dragons treasured children, it was one way to get his beast to stop talking about mates and sex. Fine. But once the play is over, I'll be back.
Blake doubted his dragon would stay silent that long, but he didn't argue.
He retreated to the room being used to control the special effects. As he adjusted the various settings, time flew by. Only when Tristan MacLeod's voice—he was one of the teachers in charge of the play—blared from the in-room speaker did he snap out of it. "Blake, your human volunteer is here. Come meet her in the great hall."
Since the speaker system in the small room wasn't two-way, Blake reluctantly turned from his computer and exited the r
