What were you doing? There's chocolate everywhere.
The massive Obsidian looked down on the two musteline creatures standing before him. Both were naked as the day they were whelped, and both were covered eartip to tailtip in dried, crusty chocolate shell. It matted their fur, though there were obvious signs they had attempted to groom one another or themselves. Both were grinning toothily, almost vibrating giddily from the sugar rush, and some of the chocolate had a clear, sometimes white glaze on it that the dragon doubted was confectionary.
The dragon sighed, a clear picture of what the pair had been doing forming in his mind. Look, do as you like, just clean up when you're done. And before you ask, no, because I do not wish to try and explain why I'm cleaning chocolate out of the deep crevices in my scales. But I do thank you for your consideration.
With that, he backed out of the door, wisely not turning his back on the pair before hesitating a moment after closing it. He could hear the sounds of things being knocked over and the pair literally bouncing off the walls. Their antics were well within expected bounds, but he had no doubt he would be hearing from the cleaning kobolds about the effort they had to expend.
