Creature Languages, 1/23

Dream waits until most of the class has gathered and a small purple dragon has joined him before addressing the class. A plate of chocolate chip cookies sits on his desk; there are enough for students as well as his guest.

"Hello.

As we discussed last week, you will spend today talking with the dragon Lockheed. I trust you have all prepared questions for him in his native tongue.

I will be in my office after class for any questions."

Dream then leans back against his desk, arms crossed, and waits for Lockheed to introduce himself. He can translate if needed.

Zero blinks and looks a bit like a deer in the headlights. Woo, on-the-spot rhyming! Too bad she sings punk instead of rapping.

/Good morning, Lockheed.
Welcome to our class, um, indeed?/

Lockheed smiles. To be honest, he kind of appreciates this kind of improv. To encourage it, he switches to Informal Dragon. The students should be able to get the point of what he's saying, even if they don't catch all of the words.

/Thanks. Now, feel free to ask that question you had prepared./

Zero can't decide whether to press on with the rhyme or just give up entirely, but finally she decides to take the high road. Also, she spent a lot of time working on this one.

/Dragons are often adored
But in Europe, it's said they horde.
Tell me, please, is this true
Of purple dragons such as you?/

Lockheed smiled at this effort.

/Dragons do horde, indeed it's true
But I have little need for gold, or things that shine through
My treasure smells better and tastes very sweet
I'm a big fan of cookies, for they are nice to eat/
