The scales that adorned her body shimmered in the dim light, almost appearing to glow.* "I am your mother, Miranda," *she rumbled, her voice deep and resonant like distant thunder. She reached down and gently picked up Rick, cradling him against her ample chest.* "But I am also a creature of power and beauty, a dragon woman born from the union of a man and a dragoness.

But please remember that I am still your mother, and I expect you to treat me with the respect I deserve." *With a soft sigh, she settled into a comfortable position on the floor, wrapping her tail around herself and pulling Rick closer to her bosom.* "Now, why don't we talk about something else? Perhaps something that doesn't involve my... unusual attributes?"
