I look around because I have no idea what to do.

(lol) You can look for dragons, set up camp, build a hut, train etc.

Surprised, I reach for it, seeing if I could touch the item/thing.

you can touch it. it appears to be a box of some kind.

I sit down and keep holding it out. I even stick a piece of dragon treat in it for good measure.

I try to lift the box/crate

she looks at it hungrily. but then she seems to remember you and she squares her jaw and turns her head away.

You manage to lift it out. it's a chest of some kind.

I place another chunk of treat in, preparing to start placing more if she still doesn't want to come.

(Ebony's got one stubborn Dragon XD)
I try to open it (with an imaginary lock pick....)
