"Well?" Crassus gave Arran an expectant look. "Why do you think I can kill a dragon?"
Arran took a deep breath before speaking. Even if he was fairly confident in his suspicions, he knew what he was about to say would sound like madness. And if he was right, there would be some risk in revealing the secret.
Finally, he looked Crassus in the eyes, and softly said, "You're a dragon yourself."
While Snowcloud looked at Arran as if he had gone mad, Crassus seemed quite amused, and a big grin appeared on the man's face.
"You think I'm a dragon?" Crassus chuckled. "Any reason for that?"
Arran had many reasons for his suspicions. Crassus knew too much about dragons, showed too little fear of the dragon in the valley, and had returned with Snowcloud too quickly. And that was just the start of it.
Still, he didn't mention any of this, instead only uttering a single word.
"Relgard."
Crassus frowned. "What about it?"
