1. Dunno when you became important. Guess I should be more upset by that, but m'used to it. 'Sides, I think we got more in common than just what we are, somehow. Even if you're a hell of a lot whinier than I am.

2. Your smile's got a way of makin' me feel like the world's an okay place. Keep it up, yeah? And come by the bar more often, I got plenty of champagne still.

3. M'afraid sometimes that you're the kinda monster m'scared of turnin' into myself. Then you get all friendly on me 'gain and I can't stay mad at you. Tricky dame.

4. Dunno how you got so amazin' without someone raisin' you t'be that way. But you're one great li'l dame, and if any boy breaks your heart I'll make him wish he was never born.

5. Kid, you got spunk. I hope you keep your chin up, 'cuz I know the world's gonna knock you down a few pegs eventually.

6. S'really hard, bein' here without you. Gotta find someone t'kiss my boo-boos better in the meantime. And give me an earful 'bout bein' an idiot.

7. So help me, if you ain't behavin' while I'm gone m'gonna kick your ass.

8. M'scared of repeatin' mistakes. M'scared of doin' somethin' to push you away. Don't know what the hell's wrong with me, I've held back before, but this time's so much damn harder. S'like I can't make it go away this time, 'cuz I keep thinkin' "what if" instead of just shuttin' those feelings down. S'real stupid of me, I know. What the hell would someone like you want with a scumbag like me?

9. Sometimes I wish you were here. Then bad shit happens an' I'm more thankful than anythin' else that you ain't anymore. Don't need t'go through what the other kids here are.

10. I'm sorry. I know there ain't nothin' between us, I know you ain't interested or wanna get involved in my shit, been there done that. Can't help feelin' like I'm bein' unfaithful t'you. You'd probably kick my ass if you knew. Sorry, dollface. M'just a big stupid lizard, after all.

That monstrous, am I?

[justamobster]

Sometimes, yeah.

[notjelly]

What's so monstrous about me? Aside from the obvious, hu hu hu!

[justamobster]

The defaultin' to violence, mostly. More used t'that comin' from humans than non-humans. ... Or succubi, but there's usually hanky-panky involved too.

[notjelly]

Really? Because I've always thought that humans were just more creative about it. Sweetie, in certain situations, killing things only makes sense! Here it's mostly just a lesson to people. Back home, well, what else are you going to do when someone is constantly threatening you and yours and they can't be reasoned with?

[justamobster]

You toss 'em outta the caves. Chase 'em away. Then again, we ain't never had that problem in my clutch.

[notjelly]

Then they come back, with more people and better weapons! What if you've chased them out time and time again? What if they've actually hurt those you care about? What if they'd really do better in a pie than just generally existing as a douchey nuisance?

[justamobster]

That don't happen. A lone dragon's a powerless dragon. Gettin' tossed outta the clutch's the worst thing that can happen. You gotta hunt for yourself, find somewhere t'live, and still avoid humans since they'll prob'ly kill you. It ain't murder, but you ain't gonna live anywhere near as long as the dragons still in the clutch will.

[notjelly]

Sure, sure. Dragons are glorified lizards in your world, I get that. Now say for instance, you've got your clutch and a human stumbles across you guys! And they're going to run screaming to the nearest town to tell everyone about the big, scary monsters living up the hill! What then? A little blood on your claws, or damning your entire clutch?

[justamobster]

S'why we avoid areas with lots of humans. S'the kinda decision we don't wanna have t'make.

I know what my father'd do, yeah? But... that don't make it right.

[notjelly]

Just wait until you're getting explorers and hikers and mountaineers. Humans have a habit of spreading.

Look, at the end of the day, it really just comes down to kill or be killed! Right or wrong don't enter into it. It's about surviving and protecting the ones you care about.

[ranfromnormal]

The world is an okay place, especially with champagne.

[justamobster]

Sometimes I doubt it, but s'nice to have someone cheerful 'round when I do, yeah?

[ranfromnormal]

Well I'm happy to oblige. Not hard to be happy around friends.
