Daughter of the dragons
Writing Prompt:
“So I’m half-dragon on my dad’s side.”
“What about your mom’s side?”
“Half another dragon.”
“Two halves dragon? Wouldn’t that just make you a whole dragon?”
“Ohohoho, you would think so, wouldn’t you?!”
I was wondering why Lysander was a bit upset after our latest science class where we went through genetics and how we got half our DNA from each parent and they combine to produce us.
I decided to buy her a cold drink and sit down and talk to her. She’s always been a good listener so I can only be the same for her when she is so obviously down now.
“Hi Lys, here’s a drink. Want to sit and tell me why you are feeling so down today? Professor Krash’its class isn’t that bad surely?”
“Oh Hi George. No it isn’t the class itself, it’s what we learnt in class. All that DNA stuff just brought back bad memories and I just feel down because of them.”
“Oh family stuff hey? Yeah I know a bit about that. Want to swap stories about how your family has so many expectations about what you will grow up to be and you know that you will never be able to meet them?”
Oh boy. That must have been the wrong thing to say. Lysander just burst out crying and now here I am with one of the most beautiful girls in school hanging on me and crying her eyes out and with everyone looking at me.
“Lys, I’m sorry. I don’t know how what I said hurt you but I didn’t mean it. Now please stop crying or I will have to kiss you because if I don’t do something soon I am going to suffer the wrath of all the girls who are staring daggers at me.
At this she started laughing. “Yeah I think I could do with a kiss and coming from you that would be fine George.”
Oh boy, I opened my mouth again and put both feet inside this time. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
