“But I thought he didn’t want to see me again,” said Audun, rubbing sleep from his eyes. “A king can change his mind, just like everyone else,” the big dragon replied. “But be careful what you say. He seemed mighty worked up about something.” “I hope he has changed his mind,” Audun said, suddenly feeling much more hopeful. “Why did you come for me? Still filling in for your friend?” “I was on my way to the top,” said Frostybreath. “So I told my friends that I’d save them the trouble. I’m adding a curlicue to the first part of the chute. I thought an extra flourish would be fun.” “I went down your chute with Loolee yesterday. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun before. It’s great that you can use your talent to make other dragons happy,” said Audun. Frostybreath grunted. “I do what I can. It seems to me that a talent isn’t worth much if you can’t use it to help others.”
