Narvim's Surprise

Shortly after Vaan's group agreed to the dragon lord's invitation, they were surprised to witness the dragon lord lowering himself to offer them a ride on his back.

"Is this appropriate, Your Excellency?" Astoria asked, knowing it may seem disrespectful and humiliating to let humans ride on a dragon's back.

After all, dragons were said to be a proud race.

"Do you think this Lord will find it disrespectful and humiliating?" Lord Narvim glanced at Astoria and said, "This Lord highly regards Vaan, and you are also all guests of this Lord. Thus, this Lord will treat you all hospitably."

"It is only disrespectful and humiliating if you see this Lord as a pet ride despite this Lord's extended generosity," Lord Narvim stated.

"I understand, Your Excellency," Astoria acknowledged with a nod and said, "I will certainly not think that way."

Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for everyone to ride on the back of a Rank 5 being; it was a privilege that not everyone could enjoy.
