This may seem like an odd request, but are there any nearby forests I can burn? If not, a large field would suffice. A very... very large field. Preferably one with no people around for reasons that I hope should be obvious enough.

It's something I have to do. Really.

[a small cough. silence. the people here seem open-minded enough, so explaining her circumstances shouldn't be an issue. but still... uhhhhh what else-]

... So, I've been reading a lot of books at the library and couldn't find anything on Manakete. Ma-na-kete. Is anyone even familiar with the word? There was plenty of information on dragons in general, of course, but not a single mention of Manakete specifically.

[another pause. if her kind doesn't exist in this world, doesn't this make her an endangered species or something? suddenly Nah has a vague idea of how Yarne felt. huh.]

Er, thank you for your time.

Well, yeah. Please tell me you're good at convincing people not to do stuff.

[boobwindow]

Usually yes.

[ Using physical force... ]

Nah's a sweet kid, though.

[symbionic]

...and a dragon.

[Which is incredibly odd to think of.]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised there's a kid who's sort of something else who feels compelled to start fires.

[Given that he lives with the tiny arms dealer.]

[boobwindow]

There's a lot of kids with strange ... hobbies around.

The important thing is no one's gotten hurt.

[ So far. Maybe. ]
