[ WP ] A dragon struggles to run a coffee shop in a busy city

A thousand tiny crystals shot into the air, scattering across the smooth tile. In the doorway, a mess of mangled metal and bits of glass, stood a man. Or a woman. Let's say a figure. In the doorway stood a figure, a bright shining figure. The figure's head, body, arms, and legs were encased in polished steel trimmed with gold. The figure brandished a great sword, a sword that glinted even more spectacularly than the armored hand that held it. A mighty shield, bedecked with art both intricate and ancient, protected the figure's left side. 
 
 `` I am Sir Eorl, protector of the innocent and nightmare of dragons!'' 
 
 Graggle sighed, looking up from his spreadsheet. Third time this month. 
 
 `` Greetings Sir Eorl, your enthusiastic entrance has been noted. If you could kindly pay for the damage done to my door in whichever fashion you are able, I will be with you in a moment.'' A small tongue of fire snaked from the dragon's snout. 
 
 The man in metal raised his sword, charging forward. `` It is you, beast, who will pay!'' 
 
 From behind the counter, Graggle extended a long, scaly arm. Massive claws dug into the skin of the knight's helmet, forming small dents. 
 
 `` Release me, you terrible lizard! Release me or perish!'' 
 
 Sir Eorl swung his blade to and fro, knocking over paper cups, slicing the register, but failing to make Graggle even slightly uncomfortable. 
 
 An exasperated puff of smoke escaped Graggle's nostrils. `` My dear sir, we can do this all day, although I would rather not. I run a respectable business, but I may not for much longer. I am currently capable of supporting my healthy appetite with the proceeds from this venture, but misguided souls such as yourself are making this increasingly difficult. If I am forced to close my doors, I will find other means to keep myself fed. Other means that are far more enjoyable than balancing my books.'' 
 
 Sir Eorl grew limp, dropping his sword. `` Well in that case, a cappuccino please; soy milk if you've got it.''
