“I think a few months? I dunno.” Nom, Nom.

“Mhm. I’m not worried about it though, I’m sure they’re just exploring the land, defeating any elder that comes their way. I wanna be just like them.”

“Live my life as normal. I’ve been fine without them, so I’ll just keep doing what I normally do.”

“Yeah.. I’m a Nergi.. Are hatchlings not a normal occurrence for you? I would’ve thought they’d be around a lot..” Jurō was slightly confused on how Shen was.. amused to see a hatchling like him.

He grumbled and looked away. “Did you just come here to lecture me, or something? Why are you so interested in my parents?”

He would stop, feeling like someone was watching him. Looking up from his meat, he’d spot the hunter. Staring at him for a few minutes, he would assume that they weren’t hostile and won’t try attacking him, so he went back to eating his food.

“Huh. Well, sir, I’m not looking to have my blood on your maw, nor do I want to be disintegrated. I still have a huge life ahead of me!” He growled softly, looking away and huffing. The small hatchling was getting slightly angry.

[🥀] What the fuck is with your screen

[🥀] All I see is 𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘.

He looked at Shentheos, examining every inch of his scalie body. Going back to his meat, he spoke up, “I’m a Nergigante, as you said. For knowing who you are? No, I don’t.”

“You’re a big dragon fella, I’m sure you’d put up a fight against a Nergigante. I wouldn’t be able to tell them not to kill you.. I’m sure I’ll be fine on my own, I have been for awhile..”

“..Yes. What is it to you, hooman?”

He blushed softly and puffed out his cheeks. “S-Shush, Hooman! I’m supposed to be feared! I think..”

“..Ala.. treon.. Alatreon, alright. Well, I guess it’s nice to meet another elder dragon, though.. My ancestors are Elder Killers, so.. Do I have to kill you?”

“How do you survive if you— Oh.. How do you get your food if you don’t kill?”

“So I’m only supposed to eat dying elders... I’ve been thinking about this all wrong.. If my ancestors found out, they’d be super disappointed in me!!”

“Hmph..” He simply looked away.

He looked up at Raeth, huffing softly. “I haven’t been hiding, I’ve been exploring the area. Most dragons say they don’t see hatching around, so maybe the same reason applies to you.”

What the— “Hey! Let me go!” He started to squirm around, not liking being randomly picked up by a hunter.

“..Thanks, Mister.” He went back to eating, his food was almost gone.
