Days seemed to turn to weeks as the dragon remained tethered outside the Chained Inn. Ice blue gaze flicked between the door, and the trough near where she remained.
She was careful with the water, there wasn't much left within, and she lapped up only enough for a mouthful each time.
She'd not seen her owner since, just that once, when he came out to study her, then he had returned to his business.
He was probably a busy man.
Ice blue gaze flicked to the forest beyond the Inn, just for a moment or two. The collar still clasped, and locked around her serpentine neck keeping her calm.
She'd even stopped tugging against the hitching post. All it had done was tighten the reigns, and drive the bit a little further into her jaws.
Wings rustled again, before she finally managed to make it to her knees.
She was growing weary of sleeping while standing. Serpentine neck stretched out, her head resting upon the post.
Half lidded gaze returned to the door as she continued her wait.
