"....?" Rudy was baffled by the sudden change in the atmosphere.
'Why is a dragon bowing to me and calling me Lord?' Rudy wondered. 'Perhaps she knows me? Nah, it doesn't seem like it. She is bowing to me as an inferior being, as though she is my… servant or something.'
'Should I play along or ask her questions? I could get some valuable answers from her, which I have been wanting to know. Or… option C!'
Rudy cleared his throat and spoke, "What is the meaning of this?"
"I am extremely sorry, My Lord."
"Look at me when you speak!" Rudy ordered.
"I am ashamed to look at you, my lord."
'....' Rudy understood the situation and thought, 'Isn't this cringe? I mean, what the fuck? If anything, I should be scared of her, right? She is a goddamn dragon, for fuck's sake. Yet, I don't feel anything. Since when did I become so… unflappable?'
If it was anyone other than Rudy, they would have been pissing their pants.
