Rasputin's conclusion was confirmed by the forest dweller. It was quite thrilling, meeting a dragon. He had expected a more regal or formal guise, though one had to suppose even dragons could have pedestrain tastes in clothing. He didn't have any oppurtunity to inquire further as the as of yet unnamed dragon jumped down from the tree and beckoned him to follow.

The magician had to consider this for a moment, he was still guessing at this dragon's intentions, so for all he knew he was walking right into a trap. Nevertheless, he chose to follow her. After all, his earlier show of power seemed to have intimidated her enough to comply to his demands, and experience had learned him scared people often do not try to do anything against the source of their fear.
