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!]

If you have the space, you should do it! Maybe we could do it together. [Seeing as Yato's land in heaven is about garden-sized... Yukine could use someplace to garden.]

I can't exactly count its rings, Hakkai-san. But really really old.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'm not sure. Lilith is the only one I've ever known. But she certainly seems to enjoy the food, regardless of whether she needs it or not.

It looks like a lot of people are getting things. Do you think it means anything?

I can't help you about how to care for a dragon, though.

[scrap_metal]

His mouth and vocal cords are shaped differently, that's for sure. [ ...it's a dragon, after all. Which brings the Important Question ]

Do you think he can breathe fire?

[reformedsinner]

Don't you enjoy a challenge? They're quite tasty, too!

[reformedsinner]

Oh, I wasn't sure how long you'd been taking care of it! Still, that's impressive. I'd like to see it sometime.

And if you're interested in helping me with the garden, we certainly have enough space around the temple!

[reformedsinner]

Then I'll try a little milk for Jeep.

Thank you for your help!

I'm not sure. I'm wondering if it's a warning sign of some sort.

It seems quite a few of them have been unusual animals of some variety. Possibly ones that have some sort of relationship to us....

And one person seems to suddenly be wondering about our memories, too.

[reformedsinner]

He hasn't so far.

Perhaps he just hasn't felt motivated to?

[clothes_make_the_man]

You're quite welcome. Let me know how it goes.

[onerous]

I don't thin most animals can digest milk, especially not lizards.

I mean I know he's not a lizard, but it's a reptile, right? Maybe you could go to a zoo and see what the professionals have to say. it might give you some ideas, at least.

[She considers this a moment too.] For no reason? How strange.

[reformedsinner]

I'm not even convinced he's a reptile. His crest seems rather furry.

Dragons may be a class unto themselves!

He's not the only unusual animal who's appeared today, if the network is any guide.

[scrap_metal]

That's probably a good sign. As fascinating sight as it would be, I presume, he uses that skill when hungry, angered or scared. As offensive or defensive maneuver.

[ so at lead he's neither of these. That's if the dragon can even breath fire at all. But Genos is convinced it must! Being a dragon and all. ]

[arealhardnose]

[Oh but he is so cute! So tiny and sinuous and--

And he's turning into a jeep.]

Ah, so that's why he's taken so well to Jeep. Welcome to the family, Jeep!

[She's talking to a car. Why is this the thing that she thinks is strangest out of everything she's witnessed so far in the past few years?]

Does he drive himself?

[reformedsinner]

I'm not sur--

[The car backs up a few feet and the engine rumbles. Hakkai blinks.]

... yes. Apparently he can.

[reformedsinner]

He does seem hungry, but I don't think he's felt threatened so far!

It could also be that he's not that sort of dragon.

[cyberfly]

I guess anything is possible.

Are you saying your dragon used to know you?

I saw about the memories. That was odd.

[reformedsinner]

It's very possible my dragon still knows me.

The memories were very odd. But if she's remembering something, it at least doesn't seem to have affected her badly.

[cyberfly]

[ Nagi is pretty sure dragons didn't exist in his old life. Then again, maybe psions didn't exist in Hakkai's world. It's not like they can really be sure, one way or the other. ]

Maybe the rules of shinki aren't as stable for the new ones.

[reformedsinner]

Maybe you're right, or perhaps we'll see the effects of it later.

I've been told that the effect of knowing what happened in your old life depends on how you feel about it. Some shinki fall into despair.

[returnedfromtheline]

Oh. I've not been taking care of it for all that long. But the person before me was taking care of it for about 30 years.

Even though the bloom is over it's still a really great tree. For sure I'll show you sometime.

Great! Next time I'm over for classes let's plot some things out.
I just got someone who said they'd teach me about gardening too, so this is nice timing.

[reformedsinner]

That is good timing. I don't think I know much about gardening myself, so the more expertise we can get, the better! ヾ(＾-＾)ノ

[returnedfromtheline]

See you soon then!

(btw, nice emote! ^_^ )

[mybadhabit]

I think he's starting to get the hang of it. I feel his frustration less frequently all the time. I wish he would let me help him more, but such is the way of teenagers, isn't it?

[reformedsinner]

When it comes to learning, he'll have to do the hard work himself! I'm glad to hear he's less frustrated now, though. That is a good sign.
