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!]

[Sacrifice your refrigerator... Just do it.]

That's what I would do! It seems like the easiest option, right? It's a win win!
If you're still having trouble later maybe I can come by and help too!

[She's amazed by seeing a real dragon... Despite traveling with reincarnations of real dragons. Whatever. Let her see the baby.]

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, we'll have to see how it turns out if I get a demon.

Is it all right if I feed him a little?

[birdstheword]

[!!!!!! SO MANY CUTE SMALL THINGS!!!]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HAKKAI! HAKKAI! ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE~~! sdfkjsfdsf I WANNA PET HIM! SOMETIME SOON! PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEE~!!!

Is it really a dragon? aaaaa What's his name???

[reformedsinner]

Aren't we all? It doesn't seem to be a problem for most of our appetites.

[reformedsinner]

Grapes? Are you quite sure? Well, I can try it!

It's not exactly a name, but he seems to answer to it....

[scatterproudly]

[ Kenren can see a pattern, however. Though discussing it publicly might not be the best choice, so he's going to drop that topic for now. ]

Good question. I guess we can go with "sentient creatures" to also cover the demon.

[reformedsinner]

We'll see! Ah, if you'd like to come by later, maybe he would enjoy the company?

Yona, isn't that right?

[bighand]

I know they're a simple fruit, but they are still delicious.

Why shouldn't it be a name? It is what he is, isn't it? That is plenty!

[reformedsinner]

What a specific answer.

I do have some fish in the refrigerator I was going to make for supper.

[reformedsinner]

He's really a dragon. I haven't given him a name yet, but I'm calling him "white dragon" for now.

If he likes you then yes, you can pet him, but let him decide.

[tachyonme]

[brb screaming internally over the gorgeous dragon]

Oh, he's beautiful.

Most of that will vary by individual, as with any creature, so it might take some time to learn what his particular tells are.

That said, he doesn't look very pleased with what you've offered him. Perhaps you should try cooking it. Or you might let him raid your kitchen so he can find what he likes for himself.

[darkesthour]

Could I? Really? Would he get too startled by meeting new people he's really small??

[And a little bit later because save her from technology.]

That's right! I always forget people can read that right away.

[existentialcrisis]

But dragons are different, aren't they?

Well, I can't claim experience with any that small. The only dragons I've seen were big enough to fly around on, and yours doesn't look like it'd be much good for transportation.

[reformedsinner]

I've had a few suggestions!

[Including the one about allowing him to raid the kitchen. Hakkai still doesn't like that idea very much, though.]

He is a handsome dragon, isn't he? Although I had rather thought they were larger.

[birdstheword]

You should name him sooon though! That's super mega important!

REALLY?! Aaa I hope he does! I can't wait! Fingers crossed!

[reformedsinner]

I'm sure as long as you approach him carefully, it'll be all right. He's starting to settle down.

Yes, it's convenient to meet people here! Ah, if you haven't seen it, I'm Cho Hakkai.

[reformedsinner]

Hmm, that's a good point. There isn't that much of a connection between a pig, a dragon, and a demon, though.

[reformedsinner]

Yes, but it's not very unique. I suppose as long as he likes it, that's the important thing.

[reformedsinner]

I would be very surprised if he could carry a person!

What sort of care do large dragons need?

[killsthebuddha]

How should I know? Ask the dragon, not me

[bighand]

How many other white dragons do you know?

[darkesthour]

That's good. I've never seen a really real dragon before so I was worried he would be nervous.

[Like... her boys. Lucky he didn't have to win the cute white dragon over.]

It's exciting! It feels like walking into a busy marketplace or bar and meeting all sorts of people at any time.

[Private]

[scatterproudly]

Do you know the dragon?

[reformedsinner]

He seems to answer to that. I'll see if it sticks.

Remember to be quiet and patient with him. He's had a busy day already.

[reformedsinner]

I thought it was your squid?

Thank you for the loan.

[...and he'll just be taking Hakuryuu and the phone over to the library now to offer him a piece....]
