[Salamander]

Muto regarded the dragon carefully, a knot forming in the pit of his stomach as his subdued rage boiled. So dragons were still being chained up like animals? And he'd spent so much time trying to befriend these humans. He tasted the air again, breathing in the strong scent of an expecting dragon. Was that the prisoner's scent, or his own? He loosened the sash of his robe slightly, to hide the swell of his belly in his baggy clothes. The chains and bars of the cage made it difficult to get a clear look at the other dragon, so he couldn't quite tell if it was pregnant or not.  "Before... Who, returns, might I inquire?" He asked slowly, glancing about the room in suspicion.
