"Is this a custom of your Dragon Race?" Asmodis asked, a little confused. "Showing their bellies... I'm guessing it's a sign of friendliness?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the wings on the creatures before him, he would have thought they were Hellhounds asking for belly rubs.
'Wait, don't tell me Dragons like to be petted too?'
"Ahem, uh..." Furin was at a loss for words.
A few of the bolder tourists were already reaching out curious hands toward the adult Green Dragon before them.
Scales could actually feel touch, much like a tortoise's shell. Vibrations travel through the keratinous layer to the skin underneath.
So yes, Dragons did quite enjoy being petted.
It was one of nature's wonderful little coincidences. Many creatures love having a good scratch, and humans happen to have hands that are perfect for the job—a job they also happen to enjoy.
