I don't care about wealth or status... I just need to get home. Preferably with Ali and not after.

[If Ali can get home before him, the dragon might just take the opportunity. Especially while they are still cross with one another. Then what would happened to home? Ali's policies for the country allowed to run unchecked-? Concord might perish on the spot when he returns... a merciful death compared to needing to clean up after a dragon's rampage- even if that rampage only comes in the form of tax reform and union busting-

Concord downs the rest of his drink. Two gulps total,]

Settling isn't my strong suit.
