//Join Aldbert, A journalist, as he continues his task in interviewing the youths of Lindwood.
While doing some interviews around the city outskirts, Aldbert heard about a young apprentice studying under the local blacksmith. Resulting in him meeting a curious foreigner with a story to tell and a secret to keep.//

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(b4r:"dotted")+(b4r-colour:white)[Aldbert sighed to himself as he went over his notes, while doing a few interviews on the eastern side of town he heard an interesting tidbit of information. Apparently a local blacksmith of some renown picked up a young apprentice a little while back, the boy was supposedly around the age Aldbert was looking for... Well, Aldbert never had a reason to frequent a blacksmith who mainly caters to adventurers, soldiers or other folks needing various armaments.
Still, he had heard this apprentice was also of foreign blood so could hopefully provide some interesting perspective for his story. The dragons witch of a boss had gone on about varying perspectives from all walks of life, including those not born in Lindwood! So, there he was on his way to an unfamiliar shop hoping to not get turned away at the request of an interview.]]

Xihe sat there for a moment in silence, trying to think of an answer.. But he was clearly drawing a blank.
//"My point exactly, just take it into consideration. I'm not saying neglect your work but make some time for yourself."//
The young dragon sighed, slowly standing up. //"Alright, maybe I will think about it. But I really do have to get back to work for now, I hope you got what you wanted out of your questions..."//
Aldbert frowned, but gave the boy a nod and wished him well as the young dragon turned and ventured back into the shop just like that...(if:$Think is 1)[ But at least it seemed like Xihe had taken some of what Aldbert said to heart.]]]

He could still hear the faint clainging in the distance but it looked like the front of the shop had been separated from the actual workshop in the back, various pieces of gear and other metal crafting work decorated the walls and a few displays scattered around the small room here and there.
Standing at the counter going over a ledger of some kind was a wolg woman, streaks of silver peppering her fur to show her age. The woman looked up with a curious expression as Albdert walked inside. //"... Can I help you?"// She said with a somewhat suspicious tone, no doubt Albdert didn't look like the usual customer.
//"Oh, Hello! Sorry to barge in, my name's Aldbert and I have been going around the city interviewing folks. I heard a young apprentice was currently working here so I had hoped to ask him a few questions?"// The dragon said, trying to put on an innocent smile.
The woman seemed a bit annoyed, sighing to herself while tapping the ledger. //"Well, that would be up to him. But I suppose if it convinces the boy to take a break then I am not against it... You aren't working for Ragda are you?"// She asked, scowling at the dragon.
//"Ragda? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that name. I work for the local paper, I'm just doing a story about the local youths is all."// Aldbert replied, sensing a tinge of hostility- Business rival perhaps?
The wolven lady nodded quietly before turning and making her way to a door behind the counter, popping it open quickly and essentially screaming into the other room //"Xihe! Time for a break, some weirdo from the local paper wants to talk to you!"//]]

The woman shook her head and gestured to Aldbert. //"You have been working all morning, the quality of your craft will drop if you don't rest so humor this guy for a little bit."// She said, shooting a glance to Aldbert.
Aldbert had frowned a bit at the weirdo comment, but he dared not say anything- He was on track to getting that interview! All he needed to do was sweet talk the apprentice... At least his mentor seemed satisfied with using him for her own means.
//"Afternoon! My name's Aldbert, I hope you don't mind if we have a little chat? I'm working for the local paper, just wanting to ask the local youths a few things relating to their time here in Lindwood and all that."// Aldbert said, giving the boy the same innocent smile he had given his mentor.

Wanting to have enough time to compile his notes from the past week so he could give those in to the witch... And had enough time to spare, he was due for a break!
At least his task was nearing its end, well hopefully... The witch did claim he had nearly enough to write the perfect story but knowing her that opinion could flip to the total opposite at the drop of a dime. Perhaps it was time for him to look for a new employer...
Grumbling to himself, Aldbert paused for a moment as a familiar figure caught his eye. Glancing down the road he could just make out the white furred dragonkin he had spoken to earlier... Curious, he seemed to be venturing into one of the city's various parks.]]

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(b4r:"dotted")+(b4r-colour:white)[Aldbert took a deep breath, bracing himself for the insertion. Xihe was on the bigger end, larger than the older dragon himself in both girth and length... With a knot to boot, he was a smidge jealous but at this point was actually a bit more excited to see how the ridges actually felt.
The first bit of the younger dragon's cock slipped in without much resistance. The tapered tip and narrower end wasn't out of Aldberts ridge, the little ridges started to pop in one by one. Aldbert felt a little shuder run up his back from them, this wasn't so bad...
Xihe didn't hesitate as much now that he was, actually doing it... Steadily starting to pump his dick in and out of the older dragon eagerly. //"Oh... Gods, wow..."// He mumbled to himself, Aldbert putting more of his weight onto the tree with a little groan.]]

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[(b4r:"dotted")+(b4r-colour:white)[The young dragon eagerly kept pounding away, getting more and more of his somewhat tapered length into Aldbert each time. It wasn't long before the boy's knot was bumping the older dragon's hole with each thrust... But the ridges, those felt damn good sliding in and out, each thrust caused them to tug and pop out before sliding right back in.
Every thrust stimulated Aldberts prostate pretty nicely, he was somewhat glad to have given this a go...! //"Ahaha... Watch your knot, bud..."// He mumbled, looking back at Xihe. The boy looked like he was already about to cum, hard.
Xihe was panting quietly to himself, face beaten red. Hopefully the boy had heard him, still... Xihe wasn't going to last much longer. His thrusts had already grown a bit rougher, so Aldbert braced himself just in case.
The dragon was lucky he did, as both of them heard unfamiliar voices chattering as they walked past. They were only a few feet off the path at most...! Xihe tensed up, turning towards the path with a quiet gasp as he slammed forward, instinctively leaning into his thrust and pressing himself closest to Aldbert.
The older dragon's eyes widened, the sudden force and added pressure caused the boy's knot to slam its way past his hole in nearly one fluid movement. He didn't even get a chance to protest, all he could do was clench his jaw as he saw stars.]]

But the sudden stretch and slam against his prostate caused the older dragon to cum on the spot, holding back a loud moan to the best of his ability the poor guy had to press his forehead against the tree, staying silent until the voices seemed quiet.
But it was hard to do so, he could feel the pressure building inside of him as Xihe came. The boys body was tense from both the fear and the pleasure he was experiencing, all the two could do was stand there and hope the voices passed while riding out the pain and pleasure of their shared orgasm...!
Finally after a moment, with the voices having grown distant. Both gasped nearly at the same time, Aldbert whining a bit as he slumped down. The younger dragon above him gives his knot an experimental tug. //"...Sorry." //was all he said, finding it nice and stuck.]]

Sure, he was a little sore but in all honesty that was a pretty good fuck. He was used to slipping off into public places to fool around since his youth so acting as if nothing happened wasn't much of a problem for him.
Still, he didn't expect to enjoy himself that much... He did consider himself a top for the most part, but he just up and said he would try to meet up with the kid again. In the end, I guess Aldbert didn't mind if he was technically the bottom in an arrangement with the right person.]]
