Reinhardt grins hugely at the fact that Venom is actually going to humor him. He settles in with his gaggle of babies. Some of them have gotten comfortable on him. The little silver snoring away inside his shirt and more coming over to surround him and enjoy his body heat.

As the younger man read, he leans forward, clearly enjoying the story as much as the dragons seem to. He knows it's just because it's a nice voice making sounds. He doesn't know what dragons do and don't understand. But it reminds him a little of the story he had told. Of Aldersbrunn and Junkenstein's Revenge.

It reminds him even more of the stories of his childhood. By the time the handsome prince shows up, he's grinning. "I'm surprised. The stories are so much like those I grew up with."

"It does seem that way, but I've noticed both here and Olympia have several stories about dragons. Before we came here, I just finished a trilogy of novels with a dragon protagonist." Venom conveniently leaves out the part where the novels were aimed at children.

He continues the story, and it has a very warm ending with the handsome prince making friends with the witch and bringing peace to the forest. The dragon in his arms has woken from his nap and decides to nip at the edge of the book, causing Venom to gently pull it away. "I'm sorry, but that's not for eating."

It seems the former assassin has grown a bit more fond of the creatures as he doesn't seem to mind another one crawling up on him. But his own shift ended a while back, and he should go. "I believe it's time for me to head out..." He nudges the two to go over to Reinhardt because he's larger and has even more warmth to offer.

"I might return tomorrow. We'll see."

"Those sound like great books. I'll have to look for them when we return to Olympia." Though if he's honest, Reinhardt almost doesn't want to leave Wyver. He doesn't want to leave the little dragons. He's already attached. But he has to go because he promised Jack he would look after Lena.

He laughs then when the dragon wakes and he carefully reaches to the one that Venom was taking care of to lift it and add it to his growing pile. If he's not completely buried in a pile of dragons by the time the shelter closes, he'll be very disappointed.

"Well, if you do, I'll be here. I'm going to make this a daily place to visit." Mostly with his slim rations to share with the little silver. "If not, take care of yourself, young man."

Now that Reinhardt is properly covered in even more tiny dragons, Venom gets to his feet. He takes a good, well-earned stretch. "You as well, sir. And you..."

He points to the one who was sleeping on him earlier. "Please behave yourself for him. He's a very nice man." It earns Venom a sort of bark from the dragon, and it's almost the cutest thing he's ever heard.

With that, he leaves Reinhardt to the dragon pile, quietly glad that he stopped by to help.
