Child was working on the deck a short distance away as she heard the interchange between Mithadan and Angara. She hid her smile and walked over to the two of them.
Child looked at the dragon.
"Well, Angara, beloved Angara, did you not promise that, should we guess your first riddle, you would honor us with a second one that may be of some use in our quest on behalf of the hobrim. Perhaps, you'd like to share that riddle with us now?"
Angara flew up to the tallest mast and sat atop the new banner, looking down at Child and Mithadan.
"I'll consider your request." she replied. "But in my own time."
The dragon turned and flew out to sea.
