The cuddling scene from "The Boy and the Dragon", and White Dragons

Esque and Tom finally make it to Albergarthwe (Aireilgrthe...[spellings and pronunciations vary]) and burst in on the room where Llel and Wend are hanging out. They are cuddling together by the fire and, at a later date, an egg is produced. The reunion of Esque and her Mom is heartwarming. Tom's presence causes a stir. [Actually the reunion needs to happen before the cuddling, cuz Llel will be too worried before being reunited with Esque.]

In the short term this allows for a discussion of Dragon genetics - TBD. In the long term, a Dragon egg is produced. This is part of the miracle at the end of the story.

There is a discussion of White Dragons. These are quite small, usually around 8 inches. They live in the forest and are little known. They do not have the same vocal chords as the larger dragons, and make sounds by flapping their wings. They can understand human speech - it is not too fast- but they speak at the same rate as larger dragons. So there is still a communication barrier. EVERYONE speaks English.

White Dragons are very data centric and pedantic.
