I see.

And how did you convince a dragon to wear a prosthetic anyway. Best friend or no.

[protectshisown]

I suspect that's part of what started our friendship. There's a very small window between time before I know I hadn't met him, to testing it out.

Strike class are fast and agile, but it also means all the pieces that help them fly can have a big impact if they're damaged. A missing tailfin means anytime he tries to fly, he's going to immediately veer off to one side.

No tailfin, no flying. No getting food from the ocean, no leaving the island, and I think he might have been stuck in a cove when I found him which is probably part of why he let me anywhere near him.

[Wow. His expression actually softens at that]

So in other words, you saved his life.

[protectshisown]

Yes.

Dragons think differently to humans, but they recognize kindness. I don't know how our first meeting went, but he understood I was trying to help eventually.

Also gave me sass when it wasn't going well, but we figured it out.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You really think they think that different from humans? After all - what's a dragon's most stereotypical trait?

Fiercely protecting what the perceive as belonging to them.

[protectshisown]

There's differences. Because unlike a human, it's a rare dragon who isn't possessive or protective. Humans have plenty who will give all until they break or will abandon what's theirs just to protect their life.

A dragon doesn't leave what's theirs, not if they got a choice. But the differences are more...

[He pauses.]

Dragons don't lie. That might be the best way to describe it.

Yes.

I get what you're trying to say. I suppose I just never thought of it that way.

[protectshisown]

[Shrugs.] I study a lot of dragons. I think Toothless is particularly protective and I'm pretty dedicated in my interests. Easier to help dragons if I know more.

Dragons are intelligent and emotional, just the way they see the world and humans see the world is a little different.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I did once hear a semi-convincing argument that what really separates humans from beasts is not our intelligence.

But our ability to do things that are completely illogical.
