The dragon girl's eyebrows shot up, and for the first time since they'd found her, she actually laughed. It was a pleasant sound, one you wouldn't expect to hear from a dragon.
"Eat you? Seriously? That's what you're worried about right now?" She shifted against the cage bars, her tail scraping across the floor. "Look at me. I'm half-starved, chained up like a dog, and you think my first priority after getting free would be having a snack?"
Rebecca peered around Luthra's shoulder, her curiosity overcoming her fear. "Well, I mean... you are a dragon. Don't dragons eat people in all the stories?"
"Stories." The dragon girl's voice went flat. "Right. Because stories are always so accurate about everything." She looked directly at Luthra, those ember eyes boring into him. "You just killed Silas and you're asking if I'm going to eat you. Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?"
Luthra shrugged, "Just wanted to be clear about it. I've had enough surprises today."
