  Mike stared at himself in the bathroom mirror and tried to force the look of sheer stunned anxiety off his face. He ran his hands over his hair, half trying to soothe himself, and half trying to make sure it was all where it should be.
  The dragon that was waiting in their front lobby. No big deal, right? Dragons were in the news all the time, even if they didn't usually mingle with normal people like him. He'd watched a TV interview with a dragon just the other day, even. They were people just like anyone else.
  Too bad that he could have solved her problem in two minutes if she'd have let him get a word in edgewise.
  It was the second-busiest day for customer support at the SmokeSignals game platform, with the week-long Black Friday sale in full swing. Which meant, of course, that it seemed like everybody and their mother was calling in with some kind of issue.
  Next to him, Diane, his fellow Team Lead, muted her own headset. "Going on break?" At his nod, she wrinkled her nose. "If I get one more person wanting a refund because they bought a game way before the sale, I'm gonna—" She hit the button again. "Yes sir, of course. Usually we can only offer price adjustments up to a week after purchase, but—"

conversations.value: Zali'thurg was still in his humanoid form, and although he was fairly tall and angular when on the floor with Mike, he seemed absolutely tiny in a bed sized for his usual draconic body, dwarfed by his own enormous mattress.
  Yeah, Mike thought, there was no way that Zali'thurg actually meant that to be threatening. His lips were tight, eyes wide, and Mike bet that probably his cold-bloodedness was the only reason Zali'thurg wasn't blushing.
  For a moment, Zali'thurg seemed to bristle, before he drew a deep breath and tilted his chin up even higher. "So, you liked it," he said.
  Zali'thurg slowly let the breath out. He seemed to sag as he did, as though every one of his muscles simultaneously relaxed. "If I actually release it, I'm going to replace the final room, obviously."

conversations.value: It kind of felt good, seeing Zali'thurg leave his domain and enter Mike's instead. Maybe less of an emperor after all. Maybe just a traveler anxious to fit in.
  From most people, he wouldn't have taken it as a compliment, but he knew Zali'thurg well enough now to recognize one for what it was worth. "Thanks, Zee," Mike said. He leaned up and gave Zali'thurg a quick, welcoming kiss. "Have a seat. Do you want a drink?"
  Josephine was marching in small circles on Zali'thurg's lap, her paws kneading and tail high, purring loudly enough that Mike could hear it from here, now that he was listening for it. Zali'thurg sat frozen, eyes wide, hands hovering over her as if he wasn't exactly sure if he could touch her.
  Zali'thurg's fingers closed around the glass, but he wasn't watching that, nor Josephine, any longer. He'd looked up at Mike with his eyes wide.
