Some time after Frissura's arrival, it's clear that there are a few minor adjustments in Nurth's routine as dragon guardian.
The eating part, not so much. That's been generally steady -- or increasing -- and might explain why he's spending more time in the cave these days.
Friss, luckily, seems more than happy to look after the pesky errands, and see to the actual 'protecting' of the village She's become like a co-guardian, in many ways. Most of the people trust her, and accept her authority -- even if she's barely a shadow of the jiggling loaf of dragon that came before.
Still, it's obvious Frissura preens when she gets to play 'princess'...
And it also means she can summon Jerold with another load of Nurth's favorite treats. The baker never needs much convincing. XD

 TheWeightIsOver pulled out all the stops with this gorgeous image of Nurth, threatening to block the entryway to his cave. It's not entirely clear how Jerold scrambled inside, let alone Frissure. Maybe there's a back entrance. XD
Love the bloom lighting from the back, and Nurth's final shape (which saw a significant "upgrade" in size during planning XD). We both agreed the foot paw belonged right were it is, thrust up in the air, wiggling with wasted effort. Thank you so much for your work on this commission!
