Cold

Scarlet Chimaeridae was shivering from the cold airs of the winter season while the thermostat of her mansion and the heater of her personal bedroom was broken under repairs as she sought warmth from a certain hybridized raptor son.

Scarlet shivered, rubbing both her arms furiously in desparately attempting to seek warmth. Not only the winter has been sending chilly waves of reluctance impacting contact on her skin and body, yet the thermostat was broken as a result - there's no warmth around the mansion as those whom were struggling to sleep throughout the cold.

However, Scarlet's heater inside her personal bedroom was broken as well under repairs, she couldn't last any longer since the blanket wasn't enough to warmth her whatsoever. She briefly rushed out of the room whilst quivering from the winter, shutting the door behind her - heading to the nearest bedroom beside her and opened the room before she could enter.

Inside was her son's bedroom, Scarlet peered at him; he wasn't an actual human son yet he was a wingless dragon which had an unmistakably reptilian look to it. He was much, much bigger than her, about twenty feet or so in length, perhaps more. He stood upon four long, spindly looking hind legs, the front two of which were much shorter. He had large hands with sharp, curved claws and opposable thumbs. A long tail swayed slowly behind him. The head was long, almost box-like in shape, curving at the snout. Sharp, uneven teeth rose out and interlocked along he's lips. His body was glossy black in color, with a striking white stripe along both sides. Crocodile-like scutes ran up his back, and clusters of quills adorned his neck and forelimbs.

Scarlet raised the Beast from egg to a twenty foot tall man eating killing machine called the Indoraptor created by Dr. Henry Wu, She had named the creature, Tristan from one of her thoughts using that name for her own son. Fortunately, the Chimaeridae had adopted the Indoraptor which she had finally gained a son of her own, she vowed to be the best mother to Tristan for all of her life and her inheritance for him.

Scarlet approached him warily of his talons lashing out on her, albeit he growled lowly while he was shivering from the cold as well, since his a very heavy sleeper before she could proceed to pace up and then laid onto his scaly side, where his ashen streak was as a tail wrapped around her, applying warmth from his drapping tail. Thus, she flinched feeling the insecurity due to his habit of sleeping.

Moments passed. Scarlet wasn't anxious nor uneasy of his habit before she gave a kiss on his scaly cheek, bid him a good night and drifting off to sleep with a sweet smile across her face.
