"Oh no, your perfectly fine! I'm really enjoying this, actually." Asa smiled up at Ashera.
"And it's about one every ten years or so, but it all depends on how safe you feel."

”Good.” she smiled when she found out that she wasn't being annoying. Though Ashera had to bite her tongue when Asa mentioned being safe. She could imagine that there weren't many times that she felt that way. ”Well, if there’s anything I can do to help you when that happens again, let me know.” she offered, smiling again.

"Okay then! It probably won't happen for a few years anyway." Asa returned the grin. She snuggled back down on Ashera's lap, looking happy.

”Still…” Ashera giggled, going back to petting Asa. ”If you're going to stay for a while then it's my responsibility to help you.”

"Well," Asa said, enjoying the physical affection, "dragon shedding is a lot like other reptile's shedding. The only thing I'll really need are a couple big rocks and a place to wait for my scales to fully harden."

”Rocks?” she asked, raising a brow slightly. ”I guess if that's more comfortable for you… As for a place to stay, ” Ashera smiled. ”We already have that taken care of. Unless there's anything specific it needs.”

"I have a harder time getting the skin off on my own, so I use rocks to help. And yeah, we pretty much have that second thing covered." Asa rested her head on her paws, eyes closed.

Ashera nodded as she continued petting Asa. ”Yes, we do.” she agreed. She almost wanted to offer her help instead of using rocks but kept that thought to herself for now. Molting was probably a personal time for her and she didn't want to overstep their new friendship.

Asa smiled, melting a little again. She enjoyed being able to talk to Ashera, but she definitely still enjoyed the petting. She didn't mind just being her pet still.
"Thank you," she mumbled, in bliss.

”You’re welcome.” Ashera smiled, still happily petting the young Dragon. ”I’m so glad I found you before anyone else had the chance to take you.” she said.

"I am too," Asa agreed. "You've helped me so much…" She trailed off, butting her head against Ashera lightly.

Ashera chuckled at the gesture. ”I wish I had met you sooner. All I’ve done is be kind to you, the same way I always try to treat others.” she admitted.

"Well, it was better for us to meet now then not at all. And you really have." Asa grinned, looking happy.

”That’s true.” Ashera grinned before impulsively placing a light kiss on Asa’s nose.

Asa blinked a couple times, then grinned. There was a little blush on her cheeks, which was weird for her. She'd been kissed plenty of times like this, why was now different?

Ashera also had a light hue of pink on her cheeks. ”That was rash of me. I hope you can forgive me.” Honestly, she wasn't sorry that she did that but… It may have been too soon.

"No no, you're perfectly fine!" Asa smiled a little, being reassuring.

Ashera smiled in relief and hugged Asa. ”Good. I thought I moved too quickly.” she admitted. ”I’ve had a bit of a problem doing that in the past. Not in relationships, just misunderstanding friendships sometimes.”

"I see," Asa said. "Thankfully, I'm used to people treating me like a family member from the get go. And I don't mind it at all. I find it a bit nice, actually." Asa hugged Ashera back, smiling.

Ashera nodded. ”I see.” It made sense for people to treat their pets that way but… that wasn't quite what she had meant. Actually, she wasn't completely sure if she had really meant much of anything. Perhaps just a token of good friendship.

Asa smiled again, settling back down in Ashera's lap. She seemed really content.

Ashera smiled and continued petting her, glad that Asa didn't seem to mind her… free-spirited affection. It may be too soon to say it but she really liked Asa. Definitely more than a pet and maybe, just maybe, more than a friend? She wasn't sure yet.

Asa wasn't really sure what to make of Ashera. She was… Different, than her previous owner. Made Asa feel different too. Still, this was the best she could hope for from life, so she would take it willingly.

”So… Is there anything else special that I need to know about you?” Ashera asked. ”Or did you want to ask me some questions?” she smiled.

"There isn't very much else about me," Asa said. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked to the second question.
