     "And I also make sure there is a chair in every hotel room corner." I stared at the dragon for a long moment. "Wait... those chairs are yours?" I asked, fully remembering the amount of corner chairs I'd seen at taverns and inns along our journey. "Of course," he laughed, flashing his giant teeth once more. "That's why they call it the cuck chair!" "I never knew they had a reason!" I looked around the dragon's shoulder at the others. "Did you guys know it was a cuck chair?"
