Dragon looks at some coins

Sara beamed at the picture of a faceless fat man.
>-this is a Louis d'or from 1789, look how cute he is-
Coming here with her was a mistake. You ever heard what they say about women and shopping for clothes? It's kinda like that, just worse. She won't - can't - buy anything.

>Oh, oh! Here's a daric! Come look! It's 2500 years old! There's a guy with a bow and an arrow on-
Yeah. It's another gold coin with some kind of a king or emperor on it. She went nuts about all these coins. I just hoped she could keep herself from stealing anything. She'd had a scary glint in her eye ever since we got here.

>Come on! Here's a 17th century copperplate coin! Look how big it is! I wish they made gold coins this big~ Ahn, I'd love a pillow like that~!
Her cute expressions made it all worth it. Maybe she thought I was smiling at the coins? She was just so excited about all this. The hot air that she snorted all over blew ripples into her beautiful ringlets.



My heart fluttered as she twirled around in the hoard exhibit. Her hair gleamed in the dim light like the gold around her. Her amber eyes shone from below golden brows - almost like the ruby-studded chalice behind her. I wished I could wrap her gently flowing ringlets all over my hands and face.

I was almost lost in fantasies of nuzzling her hair all over when she grabbed my hands.
>Come on! I get that the jewels are super cool, but let's get moving already!
She led me off by my hand. Or rather, by the arm. Her claw is far too big for me to interlock fingers with.

The next section was medals. She looked disappointed. Her grip on my arm loosened enough for me to grab her by the claw with both hands. I spun her around to face me. I felt her hair swing to brush my shoulder as her hot breath washed over my lips. I shuffled in closer to her.
>Listen, Sara... Would you like to come over to my place next?



>I-i'm sorry I singed your eyebrows...
She fidgeted under the table once again. She'd barely touched her cocoa.
>It's alright, Sara. It's really nothing, it doesn't really hurt or anything-
>It's not alright! I'll make it up to you, I promise! C-come to my place r-right now!

She sniffled all the way to her little cavern. She wouldn't listen to me, she just kept saying she had to do it. She led me to her bed of coins and burst into tears. She sat down as her tears fell on the tiny pile.
>Come... I-i'll give it to you...

She gathered up her coins and split the pile in two. She pushed the other half toward me, crying profusely.
>J-j-just take it already! Please forgive me...!
I kneeled in front of her and looked in her eyes. Her eyes were red from the tears. I hugged her as hard as I could. I could feel the heat as she blew a plume of fire behind me.
>Can't I have a kiss or something instead?
I stroked her hair behind her back. Her breath blackened the wall behind my back.
