[She feels as though she's passed a test, and a small flutter of relief shivers past her nervous heart. Curiosity is kicking into gear now, beginning to help her override any lingering doubts. Lee steps through the door, glancing down at the ground where his great claws dug in the dirt. Her entire left foot, as she walks past, fits perfectly into one of the created hollows.

When she's come from around the door, Lee's eyes widen in shock but she sets her jaw tightly to keep in a gasp. He's massive but nothing like the dragons she's seen in her parents' paintings, their long bodies like ribbons in the sky. He looks like the dragons the folks around here portray, stout and square. Is he a source of wisdom or a scourge for this town?

He's surely, obviously older than her though, and of an unquestionably higher rank.

Lee bows and is very aware of the bare back of her neck before she straightens once again.]

Elder. [It's the only form of address Lee feels is appropriate.]
