Io and a Slip of a Gray Past

~~~Dani~~~

Io was probably the most interesting half-breed I've ever meet besides Gray. Dragons, I never knew there were mix-breeds for them. So naturally I asked a lot of questions, it's not everyday a 398 year old dragon halfer lands right in front of you. She was glad to answer my questions though I seemed to have hit a nerve when I asked about her "friend" Seth. Though she hid her feelings well, I could tell she liked him and she made it more obvious when she avoided my comment about it. But if she didn't feel comfortable enough to tell me then oh well.

I could tell she wanted to feel like she belonged, I guess having unlimited years on her life didn't guarantee a unlimited supply of friends.

"So what do we have that we can eat?" I asked, "I'm hungry." I said rubbing my stomach.

We got to work on cooking up some stew and Io asked everyone questions, you know the kind of questions you ask when you meet someone for the first time. But I knew what was going to happen when she got to Gray. "So you're Gray, the bear-half breed right?" she asked him and he nodded silently. "Did you come to this group by yourself?" He was silent and I finally jumped into the conversation.

"Sorry, he isn't the one to talk." I said, smiling, "He came with me." I pointed at my chest. "If you want to know him let me fill you in, is that okay with you Gray?" he nodded, "Well, Gray doesn't like to talk and he has a hard time forgiving himself. Oh, and he wasn't born a half-breed".

The room was suddenly quiet and everyone stared at me and Gray. "What?" I asked, staring back at everyone's shocked expressions.

Here is just a sliver of Gray's past, I want to get some kind of info about him out there.

I tried to make it clear that Gray doesn't really care about Dani talking about him, he really doesn't mind. Maybe that's how I'll revel his past, through her...
