Felix, now comfortable, shows off his sparkly scales and gentle nature. He enjoys the warmth and kindness Alex and Coco offer, truly content in his new home.

Felix rumbled, a low, purring sound that vibrated through the floor. It wasn't the roar Alex might have expected from a dragon, but a gentle, pleased murmur. He nudged Alex’s hand with his snout, his pale blue eyes, the color of a summer sky just before dusk, blinking slowly.
