A retainer for services rendered.
Kralla looked at her cupped paws full of large gems. A couple of rubies, three diamonds, emeralds, sapphires. Amethyst leaned in closely.
"Don't get any ideas. I ain't made of money tigress. But the boy is under my wing now and he needs a good set of claws by his side. I know a pro when I see one princess, even if she is dossing about in the low lands."
At the sound of the word princess, Kralla's pupils widened and she looked sharply at the dragon. Again, Amethyst winked. This time knowingly, before turning away and sneezing once again.

Oh, I suspect her dad can get away with it Christopher! 😉 Glad you're enjoying it. Believe it, or not, I am _trying_ to bring this to a close!

Drew, I will absolutely not rush it. I am trying to find a good place to stop it. At this rate, it's well on its way to being a novel outline/book one of the Augury maybe?? 😊
