    @mischievous-thwapling,

    I *points to self* want you *points to you* to bring in the dragons. BECAUSE WHY NOT, DRAGONS ARE AMAZING!

    Kami dropped to the ground crosslegged and observed, one hand slowly running down the edge of his chiseled jaw, the other laying neatly on his lap.

    These people fascinated him. No one leaped forward to offer him a seat, a drink, food, wine, money, jewels, a famous person to meet. These people didn’t know who he was and the power he wielded in his world.

    They just threw him some suspicious looks and went back to talking.

    But just maybe he could take advantage of such things. He could see what it was to be a normal person. The one who blends into the crowd and goes ignored by the world.

    A few minutes pasted. Kami drew his fingers through his curly red hair and sighed. Gosh, normal people have boring lives. 

    He wanted someone to be staring at him in awe or bowing at his toes. That felt normal. This did not. Everyone was ignoring him!

    His natural instinct was to smile charmingly, order some loyal subjects around, and kick up his feet and watch the world go by.

    Go by in the exact way he wanted it to. In his pristine skyscraper with Erin smiling dreamily at him. And he would smile back and beckon her forward and they would whisper secrets to one another until the wee hours of the morning.

    Maybe if he looked lonely and dejected, someone would talk to him. But he didn’t know how to do that, everyone was always begging for attention.

    “And the best part is I love it all.” He murmured aloud. “The attention, the power.”

    So he sat and watched. Because observation was how he had become Emperor of the galaxies. How he had killed the rulers before him and how no one had ever suspected him. He had watched, learned, and struck.

    And maybe he could rule these people too. No one could ever have too much to govern. Hopefully no one could see the shadows in his eyes as he plotted the demise of the leader of this group. But which one was it…?
