Day 17 - late evening



	Landon let the wild woman snuggle against him, content to 
know that she was going to be just fine.  As relief washed through 
him, he felt fatigue gain a firm grip.  He felt himself drifting off 
and he knew that Lilliana would have his head if she found him hear.

	Moving as gently as possible he slid himself out of the bed, 
taking care to make sure that Jasmine's sleep was undisturbed.  
Stumbling out of the room, his eyes barely open, he didn't even 
notice his own dragon stalking beside him.  As soon as Landon made it 
out of the center, he collapsed.  The large blue dragon walking 
behind him shook his head ruefully and picked up the rider in his 
huge maw, lifting off gently towards his apartment.

[..]

	Jasmine sat straddling Landon's pelvis, a thin sheet of 
fabric the only thing separating his engorged member from penetrating 
her sweet warmth.  Jasmine's eyes were glistening with a combination 
of unbridled lust and intense love, "It's been a long time.  We need 
to make up for lost time."

	Landon felt himself rise even higher, "Indeed we do."

	Reaching down, he began pulling the sheet out from between 
them, reveling as more and more of their bare skin came into contact, 
further heightening the sexual tension between them.  The sheet now 
pulled away, Landon reached up for Jasmine, even as she lowered her 
head down to meet for a passionate kiss that would^�^�.SAND!

	Landon woke up violently coughing, his lips having come into 
intimate contact with^�.sand?  "What the hell?  Where's Jasmine?!"

	A large blue bemused face moved to hover in front of him, 
**My, weren't we having a rather pleasant dream.  Too bad you 
couldn't have done it for real last night!**

	Landon looked around, realizing that he was in Vlad's 
sleeping area, <Somehow, I don't think either one of us would have 
remained conscious for it.  What the hell am I doing here?>

	The dragon rumbled a chuckle, **Well, to comment on the first 
half, it only takes one if the other is unconscious.  All you have to 
do is stimulate the appropriate parts, then you stimulate^�..**

	<Okay, okay.  That's enough for right now.  Just put the 
hormones on hold.>

	**Well, you don't have to be so touchy.  But to answer your 
actual question, you collapsed as you got out of the medical center.  
Being the good and kind dragon I am, I took pity upon your pathetic 
lack of stamina and flew you back up here.  However, I couldn't 
exactly toss you into your bed, at least not without damaging you.  
Instead, I let you sleep here, with me.  I even let you molest my 
tail.**

	<Your tail?>

	Landon felt something move out from under him and he saw an 
amused look from Vlad, **Yes.  I believe for the duration of the 
dream you were calling my tail Jasmine.**

	Landon chuckled wryly, "That, my good dragon, is not to 
become gossip."

	Vlad cocked his head to one side, **Me?  A gossip?  Nah.  
I've got enough on my plate already, such as getting back in the good 
graces of Coo.  That dragon knows how to hold a grudge.  Singe 
someone's tail once, and it's over.**

	<Couldn't talk your way out of it, eh?>

	**It's just a matter of time.  The beauty queen needed to be 
taken down a peg anyway.  Better to have a tail singed accidentally 
rather than deliberately.**

	Landon yawned, stretching out his limbs, shaking off the 
sleep.  Walking past Vlad's sleeping quarters, he headed to the 
shower, stripping off his sandy clothes in the process, <My guess is 
that Coo doesn't really care about that.>

	An audible snort came from outside, **The way she tore into 
me, you'd think that.  But I won't worry.  They always come back.  
I'm the biggest, baddest, snuggledragon around.**

	Landon let the water cascade down his body, washing away the 
fatigue and stress from the days gone before, <Snuggledragon?>

	**Yes, that's what I said.  That's what Vandira calls me, her 
Snuggledragon.**

	Landon chuckled mentally, <She's got you good, doesn't she.>

	**No more than Jasmine has you, so I think we're even. **

	<Okay, whatever you say^�^�Snuggledragon.>

Mid-Morning ^� Day 18

	Landon walked into the medical center, nearly running 
headlong into Jasmine as he rounded the corner.  Breezy and Galen 
were already in the room, staring at the sword that Jasmine now swung.

Jasmine became aware of the couple watching her intently, "It's mine! 
I found it!" She said possessively, then grinned with childlike 
innocence, "K'Laren brought it to me! He's my friend! But my dragon's 
tooth is gone, I know I had it. I don't know where it is now? I 
thought maybe Kalena might know, but....." 

Landon ground his teeth.  Ka'Laren had been here and he had missed 
it!  Landon could feel anger building up inside of him.  The mere 
mention of the man's name just made his blood boil.  However, deep 
inside he knew that Jasmine thought well of him and it was something 
he was going to have to accept.  Taking a deep breath, he nodded, "If 
you'll excuse me^�.."

Turning on his heel, he exited the center, heading for the archery 
range.

<Tag, anyone?  He's headed to the archery range to burn off some 
excess rage.>
