Heimdall had just rediscovered his fear for dragons again although he saw it barely a day ago it felt as though he hadn't, Bragi dropped the bomb on him that the dragon grew a couple of inches in less than a day. Bragi couldn't contain his laughter at his friends predicament as he stood almost shivering in fear, The hides had already been lifted up at this point and he was really excited to see what his dragon looked like in the sun.
He took a look into the chicken coop, and saw the dragon on it's feet at the corner of the coop. He was obsessed with that left corner of the coop it appeared to Bragi.
" You sure you wanna do this Bragi? it might not be safe don't you think? " Said Heimdall almost shivering at this point
" Now is not time to be a coward my friend, Let's be courageous and great!! " He replied back in a valiant tone (intending to mock Heimdall)
He thought the dragon didn't know what sunshine was as it hadn't technically seen the sun before, he stepped away from the entrance of the coop expecting that it would try to find its way out of the coop. They waited a couple of seconds but to their surprise It didn't come out of the coop.
" You see it doesn't want to come out right? perhaps we should just leave it there " Heimdall said out of fear
" It's not an animal you cage, It has to get used to the outside world because that's it's habitat " Bragi replied with a frown.
He was thinking how he would encourage it to get out of the coop, he thought about just picking up and setting it down outside
" No, that's far too risky and dangerous " His brain replied him. He thought about knocking on the wooden coop untill it gets out by it's self.
" That would just irritate it and make it feel uncomfortable " Last thing anyone wanted was an irritated dragon in their backyard. Then he had another idea and darted back into the house.
" Hey where are you going? you're just going to leave me here with this thing open? " He yelled out stretching his arms out to signal confusion.
Some moments later he dashed back with some red meat in his hands, he had fed it earlier but No one really has a problem from eating too much at least no one he knows.
" Really? you're about to feed what's already growing at an abnormal rate? " Heimdall said with fallen shoulder and a pale face. He was questioning his existence at that point and why the hell his best friend just had to be a lunatic.
" Move close man, you don't want to miss this " Bragi yelled at him, He was being louder than usual it felt good he didn't have to do this with discretion this time as there was nobody home.
He peaked his head into the chicken coop again and He could tell immediately the dragon picked up the scent of he red meat, He stretched his hand out which one piece of meat in his palm on the dragon walked towards him a bit in order to get the meat in his palm.
" Okay this seems to be working he affirmed to himself " He stretched his arms again but this time he made sure it was closer so the dragon had to approach him and move closer if it wanted the meat. The dragon did exactly what was expected he would do this a few more times until the dragon approached the entrance of the coop some of the Sun was clearly touching on the scales of the dragon now and it reflected a glossy black type of shine which the beauty was just hard to put in words.
A minute to two went by and it just stood there at the opening of the coop, it didn't seem very interested in moving beyond that point Bragi saw no other option than to physically pick it up and set it down on floor.
" I think I'm going to have to pick it up and set it down, I mean if it would have done us any harm all this time it would have already " Bragi said out loud
" What? , You're being serious? " Heimdall replied. He was beyond flabbergasted at this point and there was no talking Bragi out of it either so he decided not to say anymore than that.
Bragi was smart enough to know or his instincts told him he would have to pick it up from under it's arms and set his other had under it's belly he would then have to slowly and gently out him down on the ground. He wasn't sure what the dragons reaction would be to getting lifted but he hadn't seen it sho any serious sign of aggression before except for gat time with Heimdall.
He knew for a fact his brother had visited the chicken coop as well numerous times and his brother didn't complain about any sign of aggression as well. He went ahead and placed his left hand under the wing and his right hand around the belly just above where it's tail began, He closed his eyes and he was lifting it up and the dragon didn't react in fact it was calm. Bragi's left hand that was situated under it's wing could feel it breathing and could hear the little thumping of his heart , it was difficult to conceptualize the fact that these creatures were weapons of mass destruction that could burn entire Kingdoms to the ground because they seem so innocent and harmless the same you would feel towards a little puppy.
He set it in the soil right directly in front of the chicken coop it first stood there observing it's surroundings and taking up all the information it could, they were known to be very intelligent animals. Compared to inside of It's coop it didn't seem to get a hold on it's footing on soil, he tried taking a few steps and it fell down like a human baby learning to walk.
Bragi laughed a bit and look at his friend that was still looking a bit hesitant towards this idea of playing around with Dragons and said
" My friend, look isn't this amazing " He seemed to be the only finding it so exciting though
