"I am very concerned about your mental state, Galion." Matriarch Quaire looked at him with worry.
"Matriarch... I am fine." Galion was perplexed upon hearing this, 'Was this just a ploy or is there something else happening here?'
"I guess I got confused since she's also a dragon lady." he muttered and continued, "Anyway, Matriarch, can I request something?"
"Of course, you can, ELDER Galion!" Matriarch Quaire smiled.
'This pressure...' Galion sighed, 'Does she think that I will request something personal? I know I've been pushy more than a century ago before she became a Matriarch but now, I'm old and don't have any energy for that kind of relationship. Why can't I reach Rank Es...?'
While the old man bitterly pondered, the Matriarch continued, "You've done a lot, ELDER Galion. As long as it is not PERSONAL, I will fulfill."
"Okay, okay, what do you think of me?" Galion scratched the bald spot on his red hair.
