Oh-So-Strong Dragon Heart
Valentine's Day chocolate from Mélusine. Includes a white chocolate Arondight and a dragon's jewel—or rather, red chocolate shaped like one.
"Look, a treasured sword and a crimson bauble! Aren't they perfect together!?"
The red chocolate she calls a "crimson bauble" is undoubtedly modeled after a dragon's heart. It's impressive that a member of the dominant species thought to show someone she cared for them by offering something no less precious than her own heart.
Incidentally, the jewel chocolate contains more magical energy than Master could ever hope to possess even if they lived to be a hundred. If there's a better example of Mélusine's legendary vainglory than the fact that she doesn't care a whit that Master would be laid up in bed for an entire day if they took so much as a single bite (and yes, it's not that she doesn't know, it's that she doesn't care), I can't imagine what it could be.
