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!]

How do you know?

[erogappa]

i knew a guy who had one. dont worry you didnt know him.

[reformedsinner]

I see.

[That's either true or it's the most transparent way anyone's ever said "he was definitely your pet before."]

[erogappa]

did you pick a name yet?

[reformedsinner]

I've just been calling him "white dragon" so far. He seems to respond to it!

[erogappa]

i think he looks more like a jeep

[reformedsinner]

I really don't think he looks like a jeep.

[erogappa]

i guess not

[reformedsinner]

Well.

I'll see if he likes that name.

[erogappa]

no its fine its a stupid name. how about flash? i bet hes fast

[reformedsinner]

He seems excited to be called Jeep after all.

[So that resolves that. Gojyo really is that bad at coming up with excuses, isn't he?]

[erogappa]

[ Yeah, he really should have tried a little harder to be subtle there. ]

sorry

[reformedsinner]

He has just turned into a car in the hallway.

Is that normal.

[erogappa]

yeah

he knows better then to do it in the house thougj he must be excited.

[reformedsinner]

I suppose so! It was only for a few seconds.

My apologies for doubting you.

He does look like a jeep.

[erogappa]

i know you dont want me telling you anything about stuff but if you kept calling him by the wrong name he was going to shit in your shoes

[reformedsinner]

I appreciate the warning.

private

[arealhardnose]

You know the dragon? Does that mean Hakkai, Sanzo, and Goku knew him too?

[erogappa]

hes our car

[arealhardnose]

I'm sorry?

How is a tiny white dragon your car?

[How do you have a car in ancient China.]

[erogappa]

[ Well technically it's probably future China given Tenpou's collection of crap and the tech levels blah blah blah magic okay, it's magic. ]

he turns into a jeep

[arealhardnose]

[Part of her wants to tell him that's ridiculous because science, but then she remembers the entirety of her last year before coming here and all the fight drains out of her.]

I see.

It doesn't seem to be hurting him or Sanzo or Goku to have the dragon around, so my only real concern is why this is happening at all. I thought the Heavens didn't want shinki to remember anything.

[erogappa]

if they didnt want them to remember anything i woldnt have my memories either

maybe they want them to learn too much and make their gods get sick

[arealhardnose]

That... makes more sense than I'm comfortable with.

[Simple, succinct, and plausible. It really is as good as any theory.]
