Price of Friendship

“Hello friend. Do you mind if I come in for a visit?”

…

“I’ve always been impressed by your efforts on this farm. This entire region is rather a humble plot of ground, but you’ve made the most of it.”

“Could I trouble you for a glass of milk?”

…

“That was a most excellent glass of milk. I could have easily mistaken it for some of the fine dairy of the western plains.”

“Why don’t you come sit with me while we talk? Make yourself at home.”

…

“That’s much nicer. Now we’re just old friends sitting and chatting.”

“I know you’re still helping that dragon... Don’t worry. I don’t hold it against you anymore. After some digging, I discovered that your dragon friend is not from any of the western dragon tribes that destroyed my village. Why should I spend my efforts on a cast off?”

“I was too zealous and hasty before. I made a mistake. I have a bigger plan now, and I’ll need your contributions to make it happen.”
