"Okay, remember that shout you learned that weakens dragons? You need to use it now!"

" ... "

"Triess, my shield won't take much more of this!"

"But I might make him mad!"

"You shot him in the nose with an arrow, he's already mad! Now he's going to have us on a stick for dinner unless you do something to make him ease up on the fire!"

"Squeak."

"Triess, NOW!"

"Jor... Fus... mew..."

"If we kill him you get more of those shiny scales!!!"

"OOOH!"

A birthday present for Foxenawolf, she asked for Three and Triess in a couple of situations, and I picked them fighting a dragon. Triess is our unfortunate Dragonborn whom Three has taken under her wing for a bit. Unfortunately that also means taking on the brunt of a lot of the abuse so she wears plate armor most of the time.

I figure eventually Triess becomes a bit less timid about it all and gains some confidence over time, but some of the first few scrapes with dragons probably got very dicey.
