Drake watched as the golden troll stepped forward and carefully picked up the egg. Shimmering golden tears fell from his enormous eyes, dropping onto the golden egg.
She held the egg close to her heart as golden tears flowed. She swallowed visibly.
"I am Gelda. I guard bridge." She declared. Her eyes were still on the egg. Drake wasn't sure if she was speaking to the large egg or to him. Her eyes had stayed fixed on the egg since the moment he had taken it out of the 'storage' book.
Drake waited in silence, letting the troll have all the time she needed with her egg. He felt that if he interrupted her, it would upset her. He could tell that she was emotional and needed time to process that she had regained the large egg.
After waiting for some time, Drake finally spoke. "I am Drake, the dimension master's heir. I am pleased that you are happy to have the egg returned to you."
Gelda nodded, her eyes still fixed on the egg. "I thank for its return."
