The steady patter of rain atop the dragon's wing soothed the goat's mind, as his hooves swayed just above the water.
The fishing rod bent in his hands, occasionally catching on reeds passing downstream. From his perch at the edge he stared at their rippling, distorted image in the surface of the river, and reflected on his situation.
While the rest of the world was wet, soaked through by the fury of the weather, a thin, green membrane kept him dry and protected him from the rain.
Just the same, he knew, his unlikely partner protected him from something much worse than mere wet fur.
Though friendship may seem a frail thing, a thin barrier between violent forces, as a wing overhead, it made all the difference: shielding the sun and love within his heart from the cold storm ever threatening to overshadow it. The darkness that lead him to do so many awful things in the past.
By himself he had been helpless, a willing slave to the wicked comforts he thought defined him. Yet one other person, a victim himself and with such a heavy heart, was the one to succor him.
A target of Jubia's, once upon a time, turned confidant. One whose innocence melted instantly through the icy exterior he'd shielded himself with for so long. The first one to ever see him weep.
Breathing a deep sigh, feeling those same tears coming on in the moment, Jubia leaned close against Draken's shoulder.
Eyes fixed on the crude lure bobbing in the water, as though a metaphor he can't quite formulate, he smiled and spoke.
"You know, Draken. I might not catch anything today... but there's nowhere I'd rather be... and nobody I'd rather be here with."
An old YCH I got from some years ago, it's still one of my favorite YCHs I've gotten to date: showcasing a more plutonic interaction between the dragon and his goat.
While we've somewhat fallen out, and I'm with Anarog now. is still the best goat.
Jubia is
Draken is myself

Oh and thanks to for allowing me to have the dragon slot on this YCH without a back&forth bid, means alot man! I've loved this piece ever since!
