Seto still wonders what thoughts are filling Esteban's head. He's always seemed so quiet and thoughtful lately, for someone who claims he isn't good with words. But Seto focuses on what he can feel---the affection that's so bright it's still a little alarming.

He holds onto Esteban once more, relaxing in those wings until it's his little dragon's turn. She coos and giggles, absolutely adoring the attention. She's even batting her little eyelids. What a brat. But at the same time...it's very sweet, and he's glad he can trust his friend with her. He's so gentle and careful.

"I think you might be her new favorite," Seto grumps fondly, but there's still a smile on his face. "Maybe it's a dragon bond I don't understand."
