"So you must be special."

Blaze never considered himself special, since he was always with dragons. Sure he was stronger than most of his kind, but that was all. However, the sincerity that emitted from her words made Blaze feel that way. It was a first for him to see someone speak gently to him from the time he left from his home, with the exception of Paco. Throughout his journey he only met wild animals that tried to devour him. Even here, the first person who greeted him has grabbed his throat first. He was not afraid once, but he sometimes felt that he was standing out.Before he could reply, Evangeline continued:

"I am sorry, by the way. For not noticing you before." 

Her sudden blushing and pose, along with her apology made Blaze feel uneasy. It's not like she did something wrong, or at least something that bothered him. She then greeted Paco and asked if Blaze would join her outside. She was the first person to approach him and he was really happy for the invitation.

"It would be a pleasure!" Blaze replied and followed her in the same slow pace that she walked. "By the way, I think that what you did was really amazing, knowing what I thought, I mean. Don't feel bad, I don't have anything to hide. This is one of your powers, I assume?"
