Kvaloth sighed as he finally reached his resting place and laid down, curling into a scaly ball with his head facing the arrival of the now utterly confused human.

'Typical,' Kvaloth thought to himself. 'Humans are so full of themselves. They think they're the only creatures capable of speech. Bah! How ignorant!'

"I am very much a dragon, human," Kvaloth said tiredly and yawned, showing the inside of his mouth and the throat that so many other humans (and cattle) had traveled down on their way to his stomach to be digested. His eyelids drooped a little as he tried to remain awake. It wouldn't work, so he had to say something that would make the human stay until he woke up...and wouldn't kill him even though Kvaloth wouldn't care either way. "Us dragons are not the dumb animals you humans think we are. Stick around until I wake up and I shall explain for I am very tired right now."

Without waiting for any form of reply by the human, Kvaloth's eyes slid shut and his breathing quickly evened out, signalling that he was fast asleep.
