STORY
Rosvögel stared around in wonder when she entered the city of courtesans. She'd hatched far away in the labs of Abstract Destiny and though presented with options she'd decided to remain unbonded for the time being. A bond was a serious commitment after all and Rosvögel knew her tastes tended to change over time. 
In fact, her shifting interests had landed her right here. As a young hatchling she'd first become interested in feathers, then in sea shells and from there had moved up to sparkling glass, then minerals and gems. Lately aside from jewellery, she'd become interested in fabrics: lace, silks and velvet made her swoon and she dreamed of being enveloped in their amazing textures.  And that was how she'd gotten to be here.
Because here was the city of courtesans where everyone was clothed in amazing gowns that cost a fortune and for a fraction of their cost she could rent time with a human clothed in such fabrics, resided in a room furnished with said fabrics. And then she would certainly know which one of them was her absolute favourite and then she would have her quarters adjusted. 
Rosvögel sighed happily at the prospect and took her first steps into the magical world. Lights in rainbow colours shone down and bathed everything in a myriad of colours. Smells assaulted her nostrils, rich and fragrant, promising a full belly and the taste of a lifetime. Incense clouded her mind and everything she touched seemed to be smoother, more precious, better. 
Though she was by no means a small dragon, the central roads were wide enough for her to pass. Some of the establishments seemed to cater to larger creatures and she made her way there. Every one of these shops would be good so she wouldn't waste time choosing.
Livia looked up in surprise when a minty green dragon with pink wings appeared in front of her. The Lotus Garden received quite a few odd customers at times. She'd once had to entertain a giant with smelly feet, which hadn't been pleasant considering her nose didn't reach up to his ankle. Luckily she'd been able to climb onto a closet to get away from the smell. 
"Goodday and welcome to the Lotus Garden, how my I serve you?" Livia asked.
"I'd like to talk with a courtesan about fabric." Rosvögel answered truthfully.
Livia racked her brains but came up short. Most patrons wanted to talk about themselves or business. others just wanted some female companionship to soothe their soul with music or song. But talking about fabrics was a novelty.
"If you don't mind me, I've been helping the mistress with decorating." Livia finally offered.
It was true too, Livia wouldn't remain a courtesan forever. Her sights were set higher, she wanted to run her own establishment and maybe someday even reach a seat on the council. She'd had a long way to go for that though. But she was patient enough to keep working on her current level. One day she'd reach her goal.
"Certainly!" Rosvögel nodded. 
The two of them talked, Livia showed off her knowledge on fabrics and let Rosvögel touch and try all the types she wanted to sample. And sure enough the dragon came to a conclusion. One type of fabric just wouldn't do. She liked all of them. She shine and luxury of silk. The warm softness of velvet and the frivolous decadence of lace. And then there was the airy luxury of Alpaca, the cosy feeling of fleece and the sturdy strength of jeans. 
"One day I'll have it all." Rosvögel vowed.
"Me too." Livia consented.
The two looked at each other and started talking in earnest.

LATER
Livia didn't know just how it had happened, but Rosvögel had swept her away to her lair and the two of them had been decorating. The dragoness had claimed that they'd been born for each other and Livia had to admit that she knew Rosvögel like she knew her self. Though Rosvögel lacked her steady dedication, they certainly shared their passions and their drive to achieve them. The two of them together could take on any task and they would come out victorious. Maybe their dreams would be fulfilled sooner than either of them had dared hope.
