[porridge lightly headbutts him in the hand. he demands pets.]

Oh, we were traveling through a forest and we had to take shelter in a cave because of a storm once. We found his egg in there and it hatched not long after.

[skyagain]

[ cloud... pets the porridge. gently. hesitantly. like he has never pet a creature before. ]

Didn't see any sign of the parent anywhere?

[agleam]

[happy dragon noises ensue. it is very cute.]

No, we aren't sure what happened to it... But we've been raising him since that.

[skyagain]

[ it IS cute. cloud is kind of enamored but refuses to show it. instead he just. keeps petting the dragon ]

Guess that explains why he's so friendly. How long has it been now?

[agleam]

Uh... Two months in the school, and then four months back home, so - six altogether now.

[skyagain]

So you'd just gotten the dragon when you went to that murder school?

[ which is for murders ]

[agleam]

Yeah, about a day or two before. So he was really young when we both got there.

[skyagain]

Hm.

[ he scritches the dragon under the chin? do dragons like this. porridge is getting a spa treatment. ]

Must've been weirder for him to go back.

[agleam]

[porridge accepts all scritches equally. his tail swishes back and forth a little.]

Yeah... But there's a lot more space back home, so I think he liked it a lot better there. Hopefully it'll get less cramped here as the weeks go by.

[skyagain]

Yeah. ... Guess we've at least got the outdoors now, even if they're...

[ summer camp? themed? he has no idea what a summer camp is. ]

[agleam]

Weird, you mean?

[what's summer camp x 2]

[skyagain]

Really weird. And I think it might be where one of the other things was set.

[ just... going by the... reaction to it... ]

[agleam]

Oh - did someone tell you that? I hadn't realized that yet.

[skyagain]

Tsurumaru talked about a camp, and I'm pretty sure I saw someone try to burn it down.

[agleam]

...On a scale of one to ten how concerned should I be about that?

[skyagain]

Compared to everything else here? About a five.

[agleam]

Can I ask who it was...?

[skyagain]

[ no one because i FUCKING DREAMED THE TOP LEVEL, I GUESS? anyway cloud looks pensive ]

... Might've been a shirt she was setting on fire, actually?

[agleam]

Oh. Well... I'm gonna lower that to a two, then.

[skyagain]

Fair. [ scritchies the dragon more ] If they're breaking anything in there, it's not sticking around, so they might not be that mad about it.

[agleam]

Well, hopefully they're not breaking anything in the first place... Although I guess nobody has to live there anymore.

[skyagain]

I've been on the other side of dealing with messes. So long as no one breaks anything important, I don't see how it's a big deal.

[agleam]

Oh, right... Someone mentioned that one of the statues in the garden is you, right?

[skyagain]

Unfortunately.

[ :| ]

[agleam]

...Was it harder, being on the other side of things?
