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!]

Well, of course. I'm helping Ekko with his studies, aren't I? I don't think explaining a pun is going to dissuade them from learning, and in fact, it may encourage them to study harder to see what other puns they can discover.

[reformedsinner]

Are you? Why, that's good to know.

I suppose everyone finds motivation in different things....

[mybadhabit]

For one, I can feel when he's the most frustrated with it, so it's better to go help instead of letting myself be frustrated by proxy. Besides, he's my shinki. Isn't it my duty to help him learn and grow?

[reformedsinner]

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

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

[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.

[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 let him know you think so.

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

[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.
