[ Watching the Viking and the dragon walk away, Tim is struggling to ignore several thoughts that threaten to snap together like Legos. Didn’t Kon say that something felt wrong inside him with the Orcs? Tim had assumed it was the result of power suppression, but now the dragon whisperer… ]

I don’t know. He acts like one of those dog owners who thinks everyone should get along with Muffy. If Kon didn’t step on the dragon’s tail, who knows why it doesn’t like him?

[ He'll talk to Kon about it later, when Bart's not around to get worked up about the future. ]

I wouldn’t worry about it. Dragons are represented as selfish tricksters in a lot of folklore and fiction.
