yes.
that's me.
dragon nerd.
we'll make sure to find a dragon who's hoarding silver, then.
if that means they're more likely to stay alive.

[aortae]

i might not be able to kill a dragon. i just think i can. and i think i should try. if i die, that's okay too.

why are you so interested in them?

[eunyong]

the stories about them are incredible.
too incredible, sometimes.
but maybe like of all things humans don't understand or fear, perhaps their stories are to justify actions against them.

[aortae]

you're not just a dragon nerd. you're sort of a dragon lover.

[eunyong]

what if i was just sort of a dragon?

[ listen. he may as well. what's he got to lose here really. ]

[aortae]

[ unsure ]

i would ask for proof.

[eunyong]

it could be provided.
on the back of a willingness to travel somewhere out of the city and also a promise to not try to kill me.

[aortae]

i don't mind leaving the city.

what if you try to kill me? what if you try to freeze me to death forever?

[eunyong]

considering how many times you've casually asked and/or wished for that, i don't think you'd mind.
but also i would never.
i happen to really love humans.

[aortae]

[ oh. can't relate. ]

do you realize how fulfilling it would be to put "slay a dragon" on my list and then slay an actual dragon?

[eunyong]

i'd really like it if you didn't.
i might be the only one left.
at least of my kind.

[aortae]

where is your family?

you really can't breathe fire?

[eunyong]

dead, as far as i know.
and no, i really can't breathe fire.
that's a gold dragon thing.
i'm a silver.

[aortae]

oh.

if we do this, are you still bringing the cake?

[eunyong]

i can still bring the cake.

[aortae]

then i won't try to kill you unless you try to kill me first. i'm not sure i can stop a dragon's heart anyway, the more i think about it.

what do you hoard?

[eunyong]

[ no don't ask him about his hoard it's embarrassing. especially since he rarely even uses any of it. ]

nice clothes.
jewelry.
you're welcome to come paw through any of it whenever you want.
most of the clothes don't fit me with this body.

[aortae]

do you like. sleep in it? in piles of nice clothes and jewelry? where do you even get it?

[eunyong]

no, no it's all neatly organized and put away.
sometimes i just like to look at it.
and i buy it, of course.
back in the day i would just snag clothes off of drying lines or things like that but i always felt immensely guilty afterward.

[aortae]

do you want me to steal you some clothes off of drying lines?

[eunyong]

no no no i promise it's okay.
i really might start laying in a pile of it.

[aortae]

that sounds a little uncomfortable. but i'm glad you don't hoard rocks.
