[ Please do not adjust your screens, there is, in fact, a pink gorilla appearing on the network. One who opens their mouth and a somewhat feminine voice comes out of. ]

You know, there are a lot of awesome things about this place. You can have a crew, no one's trying to kill you just because of being different, all the new foods, getting to explore the world, having ample opportunity to use fish and sea puns... breaking things sometimes. [ The gorilla is counting on their fingers. ]

Really, I could go on and on about why I love this world. [ It sounds like there's a- ]

But! You know what really gets me? We can't adopt dragons! Sure, they say "dragons can't be tamed", or "they're just too wild". [ Cue the quotation marks and the eye roll. ] But all I want in this life is a tiny pink mini-me dragon. Who better to try and be a dragon parent than someone who's also a dragon? At least a dragon on occasion.

Come on, you can't keep placing dragons in front of me and expect me to not want to adopt one of my very own! I am literally made to be a dragon parent, watch this!

[ The gorilla is setting up the phone to stand on its own, then steps back several feet before... with a little sparkle of pink magic - turns into a semi-large, equally pink dragon. It's holding out front arms like "ta-dah"! ]

Dragon parent Nimona!

[Don't mind him. Just staring at the talking pink gorilla on screen prattle on and on about the dragons. And then said talking pink gorilla just changed into a dragon.]

... I think it boils down to the fact that dragons are different than say a dog or bird. Most people probably don't know or can't take care of them. Not every day you see one around, I've only seen about two in my lifetime.

[Slowly looking back down at the screen still showing Nimona.]

Or I guess three now. Maybe. I dunno, not every day you see... [He was going to say 'a species changing into another', but that's all down the drain at this point in his life.] ...a gorilla change into a dragon, or is it the other way around...?

[His head is confused.]

[Pink...]

It may be a matter of the dragons' own preferences, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure the dragons are meant to be pets? And even then these ones might be different to what you know about dragons back home? I think they're different here to what I'm used to, at least?

[But then. Well. Of course she would want to get a dragon as a pet. Of course she would. The same way Sorey really wants to ride one of those goblin carts and is apparently Not Allowed.]

But also I'm pretty sure the dragons here probably already have parents to look after them? It's probably better to keep them together, you know? I know you want to help and look after them too, but.

[WELL. LEAVING ASIDE THAT THIS IS A GORILLA TURNING INTO A DRAGON.]

A dragon's not a pet. They're a partner. Sometimes an outright predator, but if it's the kind that can get along with humans, it's got to be on their own terms. How would you like being kept as a pet?

You are not the person this venerable one would suggest or look to, to parent a dragon. But it is better than those who would take one in only to exploit it for it's bones and skin.

[A stately looking man appears on screen, but his usual countenance, one characterized by a raised nose and lofty brows, is marred by how he's bugging out a little. A talking beast is out of the ordinary, of course, but not shocking. Many beasts in one, that's not.]

What magic is this? If this is a mere illusion I will not be tricked!

action! BECAUSE I SAY SO

[ Honestly? He's just going to poke his head into Nimona's space. Because he heard her complaining from where he had been walking. ]

You're still on the dragon thing?

[ He's immediately assuming Nimona as either some sort of eccentric druid or a very gregarious shapeshifter (possibly a dragon herself) and moving on. Sure, a dragon can turn into a gorilla and other things besides, he's seen weirder. Why not. ]

expecting your dragon child to be similar to you seems illogical

[ Why is that his objection ]
