Keman smiled and took off his cap, turning it over in his hands. This boy seemed very timid (which was kind of ironic, given the too-big dragon costume he was currently hiding in), but generally friendly. "That's good," he said kindly. "They gave me something that looked like that last time we went on one of these trips. It was gray, though, and it didn't have the spinal crests. Or the tail."

Fire and Rain, he missed his tail.

"I'm Keman, by the way. Nice to meet you."
