XAVIER
It feels like I am sitting on hot coals as the dinner carries on. It is not because of the pain in my chest but because the dragon king can not keep his eyes off Clara. He has hardly spoken a word to me and he seems to only want Clara for himself. He is hanging on her every word and it is very clear to me that she is uncomfortable.
I look at her every so often just to reassure her that I am here for her and if he would try anything, I will surely save her. Every time that I want to say something to take the attention off her and on me, he would just divert the attention back to her again. I feel like I want to get off my seat and wring his neck, right here and right now. I know that I should keep my composure for Clara but it is becoming something of an impossibility.
