I love this picture because the body language (human and draconic) reminds me so much of when the dog decides she really, really needs to be at least half in my lap while I’m chilling with my computer.

Like, the dragon is all I adore you so much please pet behind my ears please and the lady is just sigh fine you always do this and I was going to get up for a glass of water but I guess I kind of love you too.

she looks so tired…like, when you have a huge dog and it rests its head on you, and it’s getting heavy and you need to move and do stuff but you don’t want to wake it up so you just sit there…with this expression.
