So I... [ A glance. Shuri's not sure how to bring this up, animals are a thing servants are supposed to care for - he's not sure to handle it.] found a pet... It's from my world, but I- I don't take care of animals! That's a servant's job.

[ Huff. But of course, this is a special case, and he can't let just anyone handle it. ] But as an Oak, it's my responsibility to care for it.

So I need a servant to show me how... or, a stablemaster? Whatever! Someone who has experience with animals! I'll reward you. [ Somehow, he's not sure how. ]

That depends on the kind of animal you're raising. [Scratching his head.]

Y'mean horses? Chickens? [Any type of animal you'd find on a farm? In all honesty, Rudy is a bit baffled trying to figure out this question.] Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but I've worked as a stable hand. So I'd say I've had some experience handling 'em.

[voice]

[antwort]

[ Well, it's an animal you'd find on a farm in his world... sort of. This particular breed, no. He vaguely recalls his cousin blathering on about sacred fyulong beasts. ]

It's a Fyulong dragon pup. I don't know how old. [ ... ] I don't even know what it eats.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Ooh ooh ooh! I'll help! What kinda animal is it?

[Voice]

[antwort]

Do you know anything about dragons?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Yep! Even the secret dance!

[Voice]

[antwort]

... There's a dance?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Yep! The Dancing Dragon! It's the best way to make friends with any kind of dragon!

[Voice]

[antwort]

Eh... can't you just feed them for that...

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Feeding's great and all, but it's not the same as the dance. The dancing dragon really helps you become one with them!

[Voice]

[antwort]

[ He's staring at the dragon now, frowning. ]

He wouldn't even sit still for a dance.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be different for this one. How big is he? Is he a baby?

[Voice]

[antwort]

I don't think he's any older than a few months.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

That little, huh? I don't know if that means he doesn't move around a lot or that he's really energetic... Have you ever tried hugging him?

[Voice]

[antwort]

Eh? [ Well... ] A little.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Then try even more! I'm sure it'll help.

[Voice]

[antwort]

[ But hugging Mikage... ]

Maybe. I'll consider it.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

You should! Hugs are great for both parties, after all.

[jern]

Aren't there stables here you can go to? Or...let it loose in the forest if you don't want it.

voice;

[antwort]

No! It's important that he stays here with me. [ For... sentimental reasons? But wait, don't these things get really big...? ] He's small anyway, so it's not a problem.

[spiritwalking]

What kind of animal is it?

audio.

[antwort]

A baby dragon!

audio.

[spiritwalking]

A dragon! [She has them in her world but she's never seen one.]

Where did you get it?

audio.

[antwort]

He just showed up.

[spiritwalking]

Well, Lord Zuko has a dragon in the future but I'm not sure he has one yet. I've read books on them though.

And there might be some in the library.

audio.

[antwort]

[ Books... ]

I'm not sure any would have advice on this breed...

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

What kind of animal is it? Different types of animals require different types of care. You can't take care of a horse the same way you can a cat.

[Voice]

[antwort]

He's a fyulong dragon. [ uhhh. ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[Oh. Well. Good thing Emil is used to dealing with monsters.]

Um, just how big is this dragon?

Re: [Voice]

[antwort]

[ Glancing over... ]

He's not very big yet.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Cat big or horse big?

[Voice]

[antwort]

Cat.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Then, um... well, I guess it can live in the house with you if it's that size. Dragons like meat, so you'll have to make sure to get plenty of that from the store. At least, all of the dragons I've ever been around liked meat. I guess you could try giving it different kinds of foods to see what it likes best.

[Voice]

[antwort]

He's a him, not an it. [ A litle irritably. ] I don't know how to cook, though...

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh, right. Sorry.

You don't know how to cook anything at all?

[mischiefbreeder]

[For some reason, hearing this voice... Just fills Gold with an intense sense of dread, and he's not sure why...]

What kinda animal are we talkin' here?

[antwort]

Dragon.

[ Conversely, that voice is... familiar. Very familiar. In a good.. way?]

[mischiefbreeder]

A dragon? [Geez, where's Hiccup when you need him?] Are we talkin' the kind that breathes fire, or no?

[antwort]

I don't know if this species does...

[mischiefbreeder]

How do you not know if it breathes fire or not?

[antwort]

Well... He'd light something on fire!

[ Wait. There's a sudden clattering and a loud Mikage, no!]

[mischiefbreeder]

Uhh... Did he just light something on fire? [Because whatever happened, it sounds like a mess.]

[antwort]

N-no.

[ Maybe.

Shuri frowns, though. That voice is... really familiar. ]

Do I... know you?

[mischiefbreeder]

I dunno, maybe? [he can't shake the feeling that this guy seems familiar. Something about his whining is just really...]

Does the name "Gold" ring a bell?
