The Keeper

You pay attention to the small shifts: a companion falling quiet, a joke that did not land, or someone insisting they are fine when they need a break. In our imagined dragon world, your counterpart would value that patient awareness. You create the conditions in which people can be honest before a small difficulty grows into a crisis.

Your care is practical as well as emotional. You remember what helps a particular person learn, who needs a clearer explanation, and when a group should slow down. These observations are a form of knowledge. They help a team make plans that real people can carry out, rather than plans that only work on paper.

Make sure your generosity has a place for you. A clear boundary can protect a relationship better than an exhausted yes. Practice saying what you want while the decision is still open, and allow others to offer you the same care you give them. A lasting bond is not measured by how much one person can quietly give away.
