Although Paiko's home portal was not a stranger to sunlight, the drakon preferred to stay in the cool shadows of the caves, hugging close to the rock formations that sheltered him from the view of his hunters. He didn't need light within the caves, getting around in the unbroken darkness using sound, smell, and touch. 

The darkness was his shelter. He could stay alive much better there. But simply staying alive did not mean he was really living his life.

Now, he's learning to live in the light a little more, and to love the light a little more. The sounds and smells of Jagana Valley were beautiful, but there was a whole new layer of enchantment to be experienced with the eyes, with the dazzling diversity of color and life and technology and light all coming together cleanly and greenly.

This glass-enclosed space of the outdoors-brought-indoors gave Paiko a simultaneous sense of security and freedom that he had never felt together before. To be able to enjoy the freshness of nature and an open view of the sky without feeling like something might swoop down on him from above... perhaps he would ask the Jagani how to put together a little greenhouse garden of his own.
