But she'd never desired to have this sort of situation come up.
"Come on," snidely commented the boy in front of her. "We just want to spend some time with a pretty little girl like you."
"Yeah. Something so... innocent has to be fun when she learns to really party," agreed one of his friends.
The other one nodded. "You can entertain us for a long time."
"Ummm.... I don't think so...." she murmured, pulling in on herself as they started to surround her.
"Oh, come on. You're not going to let us feel a bit of your sweetness?"
"Huh? I don't know what you want from me...."
"Why don't we show you?" the first boy told her, and grabbed her arm.
That proved to be enough for Amethyst, as she uncurled from around her person's neck. One moment, she was laying there, and the next, she was biting the attacker's forearm. He cried out and let go, which was when the dragon clawed at the other two boys, leaving them clutching at stinging lines on their flesh. Whimpering in pain, they stumbled away, and ran to put some distance between her and them.
*Bah. Didn't finish.* Amethyst grumbled as she settled down.

Though the fact that she, or rather both of them were growing up so well wasn't what was bringing a tear to his eye. It was just a lot of strain... or so he told himself.
Bringing home Amethyst was something that Hotaru had to admit that she was happy about. Not only was she bringing her new friend to live with her, she was also going to have another part of her new home to feel good about. In her old home, she'd been left with nothing more than a dark room and lots of stuffed animals and dolls for friends. It had been a lonely existence, and she had always been depressed when she was living like that.
