Max stared at the people gathered there and noticed that the dragon seemed to have lost interest and was walking off. As much as he was afraid of being near a dragon, he couldn't help but feel that some of the people in that little group were more dangerous. Maybe not physically, he thought, but at least one seemed to be certifiably insane. He decided to take his chances with the dragon, so he bolted from under the bush and caught up with the dragon as it headed out of town, hoping it didn't mind the company.
