Summary
You lean closer, twisting in on yourself until you’re no taller than he is. He watches with something approximating fear but that mostly brings to mind curiosity, and apprehension, less at the sinuous wrongness of your form and more at the possibility of an attack.
Your body drips with reforming flesh until you stand on the skiff with him, back straight and eyes narrow. He relaxes his hold on the tiller when you don’t make a move towards him, but there’s a tense moment between the two of you nonetheless where all you can hear is the faint slap of water on the hull.
You break it first.
“Speak.”
***
James Garen Egbert, King of what once were the Golden Isles, presents a trade to the fearsome King of Dragons.
