Comet and the toddlers are the only dragons. And Comet is really the only one with spikes. Then there's Blue, she's a griffin, and Peace and Chripie of course, and then the dire wolves, and Songie is a big fluffy black sheep, and Sorok is a lazy white deer...oh, no, the water dragon is technically a dragon too! But it always feels like more of a serpent. There's a lot of them.

A veritable nursery, I see.

It sounds…cozy.

It might be a little too busy for some people. But I prefer it over things being too quiet.

. . . do you get empty nest syndrome?

I feel like I've read a book with that title all too recently. How could I get empty nest syndrome when the nest is never empty?

[just

fondly regards him across the table as he answers that question 'yes' in the funniest way]

[tries to shove a taiyaki in Charon's mouth]

Don't spout nonsense.

[chomps his fingers with it a little bit :9]

Mm.

I don't recall saying I was dessert. Watch your teeth.

[gives him an almost limpid stare]

Don’t tempt me, then.

[meets his gaze with a coy smile]

Putting the blame on me for your own actions is unbecoming, sir~

Said as though you don’t like me unbecoming.

I like you unbecoming within reason. You still have to take responsibility for your own actions.

How would you like me to?

Hmmmmm...

[unlaces their fingers so he can take Charon's hand and dip a single one of his fingers into the chocolate]

Let me nibble you too? Since that makes us even.
