Nix smiled pleasantly while putting it together in his head. Even though he was asking for dragon eggs, without a doubt, there wouldn't be any dragons in them. They would definitely be dragonspawn.
"It isn't in our nature to form close attachments to dragonspawn. I believe only a few of us actually refer to them as our children."
Nix understood perfectly. Dragons were an arrogant creature, not filled with sunshine and daisies. "Think of it as fostering."
"You're going to ask me for the hybrid egg." Deidra didn't bother to put a question in the statement.
Shae's pretty face slowly broke into a smile, and she nodded her head up and down without waiting for a reply.
"Yep. That's my plan," Nix admitted.
"Let's make an agreement, with the understanding that you will continue to add your elements to my nursery in the future."
Nix shrugged. "I don't mind. If the Dragon Masters agree to my price, then we have an accord."
Deidra offered her hand, and Nix shook it.
