Chapter 34

"There!" Nah called. "That looks great!" Slowly, cautiously, Morgan leaned to the side to get a better view of what the excited manakete was looking at. As the dragon slowed, she could see a clearing in the trees below them.

"Hold on!" The manakete yelled as she started to descend. Clinging to her back, Morgan leaned closer to the dragon's warm body to stay out of the furious wind as much as possible. Eventually, they came to a gentle stop.

Smiling, the blonde tactician slid off Nah's back and onto the grass. She sat on a comfortable-looking clump of grass, and gestured for the smaller girl to join her. However, she stayed as a dragon, looking around frantically.

"Nah?" Morgan stood again, worried. "Are you okay?"

"I... I can't find my dragonstone!" She wailed, still searching furiously. "I must have lost it when we landed or- or when we were in the air!" Panicking, the manakete paced around the clearing, occasional bursts of fire puffing from her mouth.

"Calm down!" The blonde gently stroked the red scales of her girlfriend's warm neck. "Calm down, okay?"

Nah stopped pacing, lowering herself onto the ground. Morgan sat with her, resting her back against the manakete's shoulders.

"We'll be able to find you a dragonstone when we're back at camp, okay?" She murmured soothingly. "For now... Let's just enjoy the time we have together."

"Good point."

Morgan felt the dragon vibrate as she spoke. Unable to restrain herself, she giggled.

"What? What is it?" Nah turned her head to the blonde, who had her hands lay across her scaly body, apparently waiting for something.

"What?" As soon as the manakete spoke, there was another quiet laugh.

"Every time you speak, I can feel it here." The blonde smiled. "Never noticed that before."

Grinning, both of them truly relaxed for the first time in a while.

Morgan awoke slowly. She sat up groggily, staring at the giant dragon in front of her.

"Whuh?" She looked around in confusion. "Did I fall asleep?"

Nah nodded. "It's kinda late. We need to be heading back soon."

"Yeah, we don't want to get yelled at by Chrom again. Let's move." As she started to climb onto the dragon's back, the manakete turned to her, moving her face closer to Morgan's. Seeing what her girlfriend was hinting at, the young tactician leaned forwards and kissed her, taking care to avoid the fangs. The scales felt rough on her lips, but Nah was very gentle, very careful not to make any sudden moves.

As she pulled away, the blonde winced.

"Are you okay?" Asked an alarmed Nah.

"I'm fine." Morgan waved dismissively. "Just caught myself on a scale." When the manakete still looked panicked, she added: "Honestly, I'm fine. Let's get moving!"

Nodding, the scarlet dragon took off into the night sky.

Silently, barely moving the tent flap, a figure slipped into the large tent. Once inside, Morgan breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't been spotted, and there was a box of dragonstones just sat there on a table. Hurriedly, she pocketed one.

As she turned to leave, she saw a silhouette in front of the tent. From the size, it could only be Frederick, the only person who would give her more of a lecture than Chrom. He seemed to turn towards the weapons tent, and the blonde took the opportunity to dive behind a row of weapons and hold her breath.

After what seemed like forever, Frederick moved on. Dragonstone in her pocket, Morgan sprinted for the outskirts of camp. She found Nah crouched just out of sight of the guards.

"Did you get one?" The manakete asked. Smiling, Morgan threw the stone to her. She caught it in her mouth, and quickly transformed in a flash of light.

Now human again, she tackled her girlfriend in a hug. The tactician returned the embrace, holding the smaller girl close.

"Now come on." She said when they finally separated. "We need to get to our tent before Chrom finds out that we're gone."

Nodding, Nah followed her into the camp.
