“There is a… a great loneliness in us- not all of us, but it’s there. A lot of dragons can ignore it, keep themselves busy with hoarding, pillaging, even just sleeping the years away or meddling in the affairs of little folk, like you.”
“… but sometimes, it gets its claws in you and you can’t admit it to another dragon, so whaddya do? You find a human or something to keep you company.”
“…of course, you’re not gonna pick up any old human- you want the best you can get! Hence, the princesses.”
