Not your SCALES scales! Your hide! Your life! Wh--HEY!

_{[He brings the rattly end of his tail down on Sideswipe's nose.]}

This mountainside is delicate! If you dig wrong the whole thing will collapse and that means no treasure!

_{[After shooing the silver dragon aside, James starts digging again, this time all of him disappearing down the long tunnel. He was gone for what felt like an hour as plumes of earth sprayed the opening. Finally the mouth of the cave widened enough for Side Swipe to worm his way in if he folded his wings tightly enough.]}

Come on!

_{[At the end of the tunnel, there was a large-ish chamber carefully dug from the stone and rock. And it's gloomy. The only light comes from the tunnel itself and a few small holes that serve as skylights and vents. And the floor is covered in treasure. Most of it is armor and weaponry but there are coins and gems scattered throughout. He's spent several years hoarding from battlefields and with how makeshift the nest is, this is not his first nor his last burrow. A few other tunnels led elsewhere but none of them had been widened for his guest's convenience.]}

You can have this one.

_{[He offers Side Swipe a single silver plate.]}
