A\N: Based off of my little sister, who thinks everything is edible.


MURTAGH

I ignore my little sister at my elbow as I try to finish writing my essay.

The uses of dragon's blood...iick. Who would want to bleed a dragon?

My elbow's wet. Ick.

Suddenly I notice something's chewing it.

Not something.

Someone.

My little sister is eating my elbow.

I glance down at her. "What are you doing?" I ask haughtily.

"Eating your elbow." She says, grinning up at me. Then she turns and runs away.

I blink.

Um...

"Mom?" I yell.

"Yeah?"

"Why did Alyssa just eat my elbow?"

A pause.

"She's three." Mom says.

"Okay."

I go back to writing.

I pause.

I wipe my elbow off, then I sit down again.

Dragon's blood is weird.
