"Sketch, what do you think I am? A dragon. Ice dragons age about 200 times slower than humans. It's in a dragon's nature-at least the dragons in the Legion-to not get too attached to somebody; have you seen Clare? Well, she's a little more blunt than I am. Yes, I care for Sapphire... but I'm physically unable to "love". And if I did... the pain a dragon would go through if their loved one died. Dragons aren't immortal; they experience pain like everybody else. They can't get used to it, like immortals can over millions of years. I'd like to avoid that pain. As a general in the Legion of Dragons, I cannot let emotions get the better of me; I have hundreds of people looking up to me."
