[fessus]

Soooo I'm the dumbass for not realizing you're a dragon scientist now?

How do yk they're reptiles

[coherer]

Their skin is all leathery and covered in scales
And they like to be warm
Also they look like reptiles

[fessus]

What about the whiskers

[coherer]

Whiskers?
LMAO what?????????

[fessus]

What do you mean 'what'??

Name me a lizard that has whiskers, bc they don't on Eos

[coherer]

Dragons don't HAVE whiskers

( They need Ladon........... )

Lizards don't have whiskers either
What kind of weird animals do you have on Eos omg

[fessus]

[ ??? ]

Okay then my mirage would be an Eos dragon that has whiskers? Which ftr beats a tree even if it didn't

What did the last dragon you saw even look like

[coherer]

( oh my god )

Dragons are fantasy monsters, they're not actually real

Are you saying you've actually seen a dragon like irl?????

1/2

[fessus]

2/2

[fessus]

Wait lmao

So you've been on me this whole time and you basically don't know what a dragon is

Re: 2/2

[coherer]

ik what a dragon is but they're just myths on my star
I just haven't seen one in person

Which like
Have you??
Answer my question bc that's so crazy I can't even believe it

[fessus]

[ "On my star", huh.

Not much has made him want to smile lately. But that's pretty thoughtful of him, isn't it? ]

Seen one? That's beginner level

I fought one

[coherer]

😳????????
Are you actually serious or are you pulling my leg?
bc that's not a fact you just sit on and casually whip out like it's nbd

[fessus]

[ Maybe sits up straighter... ]

I am casual and it is nbd

I obviously won didn't I?

[coherer]

It's a huge deal
It's a dragon dude like wtf are you talking about
What happened?
Did it like attack you or something and you fought back?
How'd you fight it?

[fessus]

I've got way better stories than the dragon is what I'm talking about lol

But yeah smth like that

Tbh we were after smth in its nest so it's not like we didn't deserve the trouble. But the asshole never stayed on the ground for more than a second so it was a lot of work keeping up with it

[ A pause. ]

Hey yk the stuff we talked about the other day? How I fight's kind of part of that. The things I can do are things only my family can. So this follows the same rules if you can keep it to yourself

[coherer]

( Being in on this secret makes Jonas feel... special. Trusted. Confided in. Alex used him as a confidant, too, but she never did the same for him. With Noctis, whom he's known longer than his stepsister for a few weeks now, it feels safe to share when he needs to.

It's comforting. New. )

No yeah totally, I won't tell anybody, I promise
I mean, everything you tell me is nobody else's business as far as I'm concerned
Maybe stupid things like you not liking lettuce or whatever but

Yeah that's it, I just wanted to lyk

[fessus]

Nah tell everybody the lettuce thing so they know, the more people who don't throw it in my food the better lol

Dw about it Jonas. I told you bc I knew it was okay. Just adding on another part

Ik what it feels like when people want to hurt me. I get 0 of that feeling from you yk

[coherer]

( Thrown through another loop, Jonas ignores the heat rising in his cheeks. While his skin burns, he frowns, trying to decide what he wants to respond to and how.

Eventually, he chooses the third sentence. It's the most important one. )

You shouldn't ever have to feel that
No one should make you feel that

[fessus]

[ That's... a sweet sentiment he doesn't know what to do with. It's also one that doesn't have a place in his life as it stands currently, and likely never will.

So instead he does what he's been taught. He deflects. ]

You sure? You don't know what I give them back back home

Weren't we talking about dragons?

[coherer]

I'm sure you do a great job bullying the bad guys back, hon
Full faith
But it sucks and idk
You'll never get that kind of abuse from me
I'm js

Dragons are boring now😴
What else you got?

[fessus]

Well at least my read was right

Even tho I bet I could take you down with one hand if I really wanted to. I could show you some throws some time in case you need them

[ no homo ]

Idk what's exciting to you?

[coherer]

Here's where another guy (cough Cain cough) act tough and say "no way, you're on, let's dance"
But you could
You could absolutely take me down with one hand

As for the throws

( )

Yeah I'd be down ig
It couldn't hurt right?

Exciting to me is probably gonna be super boring to you though

[fessus]

Here I thought you were into us getting along. Calling him a tough guy in a fight's just asking me to start smth

[ You know. Like a catty gossip train. Because he is a tough guy, isn't he? Hugely. ]

Cool lmk when you're down. Could be back on the ship if you don't want glass in your shoulder, probably smarter tbh. Which means I've got time to grill you on the last part

You told me to up the ante from a dragon. Spill. What's boring/exciting?

1/2

[coherer]

He IS a tough guy in a fight
He took on like 3 of those barren-racers like
Fully protected me to do it too at the expense of his own body
So yeah I want you two to get along
But if you're into fighting each other then go for it
I only made it my business before bc you were basically wrestling in front of me

I'm agreeing with that date/time though bc it's too hot to move
