The cat rolls it's eyes, "Why is the human splashing in the water? Only an idiot plays with water." "He's been sniffing the crystals. The magic makes him high," rumbles the dragon. "Also has a side effect of a future vision or two which he sells to the highest bidder." The cat inches back to avoid getting wet. "Why am I here, Bradford? You know I don't do the bodyguard stuff. I reconnoiter folks' homes and tell them where it's easy to break-in. I'm strictly a security auditor. And you yourself don't usually serve as a bodyguard either." "HIs girlfriend, the fae, found me, said he had a vision about us, that we would be here tonight and save him and that she would pay us by building your invention." "Build my invention? But she's fae! They don't do metals." The cat studies the woman. The dragon smiled, "She's a quarter dwarf. She loves building with metal, making engines. Not iron, of course. Other metals, including your star metal" "She knows I found a meteorite? I only found it a few hours ago. A day after you signed the bodyguard contract with them. He's really good." The cat looks puzzled at the human giggling in the water. The dragon answers, "He's good." "So she'll make my invention? She can speak cat so I can explain it to her. I can't believe it after all this time." "No," said the dragon. "She doesn't speak cat. She speaks dragon." "That'll work!" purrs the cat. "Finally I'll get opposable thumbs!"
