Kate sighs in relief. That's one question down and Kate doesn't think she can handle another. What if is a question related to geometry or worse, calculus. She knows the practical, everyday uses of algebra. Anything else is a struggle. At least the dragon hadn't asked her something more controversial.

The yellow dragon then hands Kate a small bag but not before patting Kate atop her head for her hard work. "Thanks, I think."

The yellow dragon then launches into a lecture about order of operations and Kate takes this opportunity to slip away so that she may join Dex by the cookies.

"Um, no thank you. After that I'm not in the mood for cookies. Are they any good?" The recipe in the equation had not called for chilling the dough. Kate wonders how well dragons know how to bake.
