Dragons are Messy Eaters
The fairy dragon gave Shanku the kindling he had collected and Shanku took some dried limbs from the nearby bushes. "Lucky this bush had a few dry limbs, eh?" She asked as she made a fire. She placed strips of meat on the end of a sharp stick and roasted bits of the rabbit the dragon had been kind enough to catch for her.
"Where do you suppose we find shelter out here?" She asked as she turned her stick over the fire.
A muffled trill came from the dragon and Shanku looked to see the hindquarters of the rat hanging from the dragon's mouth.
"Please do not talk with your mouth full," Shanku shuddered. She looked behind her to the bush. "I reckon we'll make the most of this bush."
It was the largest thing she had seen out here. When they finished their meal, Shanku put out the fire and smothered it with dirt lest the wind catch it during the night and catch the dry grasses on fire. She did not want to wake up to being burned.
Shanku curled up under the bush and drew the cloak tight around her. She laid her head on her pack and used it as a lumpy pillow. The little dragon curled up next to her stomach and laid himself down. They had finally arrived in the northern tundra. Now to find the kurach rumoured to live here.

Dragons are Messy Eaters
Well, Sigrid did say it's not pleasant to be around dragons when they eat.
I imagine the bush wouldn't cut down on much wind though.
Oh, and the pet mouse died. 
Chapter Notes:
Definitely one of the more relaxed chapters we've had in a while. Even if she did beat a few people up in the beginning.
