Does anyone have any experience with the care of small, white dragons? What foods do they prefer?

What is the best way to determine their mood: head movements? Wings? Tail? Vocalizations?

Specifically, how can you tell when they are about to bite?

[Not that he's failed to tell he was about to be bitten a few times already. Of course not.

There is a picture of a small, snaky-bodied white dragon with a ruff running all the way down its long neck attached. In the picture, the dragon is flaring its wings over a plate of raw hamburger with a look of serious annoyance and its mouth wide open in a silent kyuuuu!]

[reformedsinner]

I understand. I'm one as well.

[reformedsinner]

Oh, I didn't realize you were his god.

It's certainly an important part of your duties, yes.

[reformedsinner]

Ah, I see. Was it a physical dragon, or a dragon god?

[One of these might be a more useful reference for safe foods than the other....]

[reformedsinner]

Yes, much better.

I think you're safe for now, because he doesn't seem to be able to read.

[mybadhabit]

I'm surprised, he seems to enjoy telling people how weird I am. That seems to be the first thing out of everyone's mouths when they realize we're partners.

[clothes_make_the_man]

She's an astral dragon. They live in a different realm than the one I come from. I wouldn't say her power is on par with a god, but she's certainly strong.

[galactically]

i'll borrow it now that i have your permission, Mr Hakkai! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و

[disciplineking]

[The little nip didn't even make Hibari jump; instead, he took that as a sign he could move the finger up to scratch at the dragon's head softly.

And looked up at Hakkai as he said that.]

Are you telling me he's actually a car?

[razzledazzles]

[Ah... he will never understand if they're really dragons. Not that these animal-dragons would help in any way, but he was still hopeful for some reason.]

No, I was simply curious. I hope you're able to care for it well!

[scrap_metal]

Do you think it will learn one day?

Dragons are told to be dangerous creatures. Mythical, sure, but the same can be told about gods. It's unknown how big it's going to get.

[ a potential formidable enemy. but maybe it's not a good idea to make an enemy out of ally's pet ]

[darkduelist]

A real dragon?

[Since he is a shinki that can become a dragon.]

[reformedsinner]

Yes, he seems quite real!

We've named him Jeep.

[darkduelist]

I see. I was asking because my vessel form is a dragon. Despite that I can't say I know much about dragons. Perhaps you could give him different kinds of food and see what he likes?

[reformedsinner]

He might! I'm not sure how old he is. He seems quite intelligent, but he can't talk.

[reformedsinner]

Do astral dragons need to eat, or are the offerings for ritual purposes?

[reformedsinner]

Really, that's something you'll have to bring up with him, not me.

[And you shouldn't complain about your shinki in public! That's just rude.]

[mybadhabit]

[He's not complaining, he's just commenting! People end up thinking he's weird anyway, there's no point in getting offended over it.]

[But the conversation's gotten off track, and there's really not much he can say to that anyway, so]

It's a cute dragon, anyway.

[reformedsinner]

Thank you, I'll do my best!

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, I don't know about actually, but he can turn into one. I think he's actually a dragon, though.

This form seems to suit him better.

[He glances down at Jeep: it's hard to tell what his mood is as a dragon, but it's much harder to be sure when he's a car. The dragon's head swivels around to glance at him in return, but Hakkai can't read his expression.]

Besides, it's much cuter!

[reformedsinner]

Oh! Well, this one certainly isn't a shinki. I'm not sure how he got here, in fact.

How large is your dragon form?

[darkduelist]

Very large. Or at least large enough so I wouldn't be able to transform in a room.

[moonfang]

good! he needs to grow up big and strong.

you should feed him meat. whole cows if you can!

[dragons shouldn't turn into cars.....]

[reformedsinner]

Thank you, I'll let him know you think so.

How has Ekko been doing with his studies? I should schedule another lesson with him soon.

[reformedsinner]

[They shouldn't but apparently this one does! Hakkai supposes it could be useful....]

I think he might be happier with whole fish! A cow can come after he's grown up a bit more.

[moonfang]

Fish are boring. They're hard to catch and slimy.
