Manners
The following day, Adam skipped school and rushed to Berger's store first thing in the morning. He was excitedly running through the streets of Moon City. However, Valerian was nowhere to be seen.
That was because the newborn dragon had already gone back inside Adam's spirit sea. The youth was used to having the egg stay inside his mind, but when he saw the little fellow merrily jump into his mind as well, he was shocked, to say the least.
Last night, when Adam shifted his consciousness to his spirit sea, he saw that the little fellow was lazily lying right at the center of the white lotus. Moreover, he seemed to enjoy it very much.
At the time, Adam couldn't help but think in amusement, I've read that dragons are inherently territorial and all of them have their own lairs. Could it be that Val considers the white lotus his lair?
