"That's hard to say!", Val laughed. "You don't look like a dragon to me, so - a princess, I suppose".

Adrien giggled. "Though, princesses are usually locked in the tower - and I'm not, so maybe I'm a dragon, after all".

"Who is to say that the dragons are not locked in their towers, as well?", Val said with a faint smile. Adrien looked back at him; he blinked, then lowered his head for lack of a better answer. He sat still for a while before taking another spoonful of chocolate. Val was staring into the fire; the light shimmering through his black eyes revealed the depth of their darkness.
