Despite your aversions, you did this... for me?
"All life is precious, but, I knew you could not survive on plants."

Thank you. You're the first human I've ever met that has ever been this kind.
"You're welcome, my friend."

Many omnivores who choose a herbivorous diet seem to believe that everything can subsist on a herbivorous diet. Those without the biology to do so merely lack determination and conviction of spirit. This philosophy is similar to those who believe that eating is merely a bad habit[1]. Though the latter example have resorted to experimenting on themselves, let us all be grateful on that count.
It was very rare to encounter such a voluntary herbivore willing to touch meat for other creatures, let alone prepare it for ease of digestion.
The last infant hatched just as Grirvess' fever broke, and Slaine just let a small fortune in Dragon's sweat pour into the earth. That was less important than her patients. One grown Dragon and a half-dozen meeping little blind Dragonlings.
Slaine was making her best plausible Dragon noises for the nestlings, piping mashed meat mixture into each hungry little maw. "Be with you in a moment," she said. "The little ones are needing me."
