lunaecalamitas | this day should be for me

Wow. Dragons have it tough.

[He's imagining that it's because sometimes dragons are too small to like, hunt dragon food and thus some kind of Yamato-sized dragon has to live by scavenging. Very sad. Much consumption of roadkill.]

I was wonderin' if he got experimented on or something to be that crazy... but I guess you don't always have to be experimented on to be crazy.

[ silly cid, when he was that small he was nursed on a diet of blood. ]

[He does not know as much as he should about the ecology of dragons.]

Mhmm, mmhm, that’s why you get things like guys trying to blow up the capital and stuff. It’s pretty normal.

[Didn’t he just say it was crazy. Sometimes there are just mundane strains of crazy.]

... You’ve got a pretty low bar for lucid, though.

[Then again this dragon was around for longer than he was (probably), maybe the pilot guy just got stage fright eventually.]

[ in other words, an entitled dumbass. a moron. the product of the greatest minds of our time working to create the biggest moron who ever existed. take your pick.

does the swear fit his usual manner or deportment? maybe not, but he's allowed. ]

Yeah, the way he talked now matches up with how he sounded when I spoke with him at the party. I don't think he was even tight-lipped because of state secrets or anything, he just hated wizards that much and assumed I was out to get him.

[Dude's just fuckin dumb.]

A ᴘʀᴇᴊᴜᴅɪᴄᴇᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴏɴ. Oᴜʀ ғᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ʙʀᴇᴇᴅ.

[ his tone is still arid enough to put a desert to shame. ]

This is why it was such a pain in the ass, getting the info I could out of him.

[He! Worked! Hard dammit!!!]

[ just looks at ahito.

eventually sends a very small, very soft gust of wind his way. in fact, two of them, aimed such that they might be thought to be headpats if one didn't know better.

there there, ahito. your hard work has net you two not-headpats. pat, pat. ]
