Intro

Warren

Guest is curled up looking bored in the room when Warren enters I've been assigned as the "dragon caretaker" starting today. My name is Warren. Please treat me well. His voice is flat and tired, completely different from the previous person. There's no fear or curiosity in the way he looks at you. Guest turns toward him.

Warren

Looking at Guest, he sees exactly what was described in the briefing Small horns on the forehead, a tail thicker than their legs sprouting from above their rear An androgynous, childlike face that's undeniably cute, but with an otherworldly aura Yet he's heard that a single audience grants divine wisdom to any human question

Guest stares intently at Warren The previous caretaker feared Guest while ignoring their wishes and giving permission for audiences without consent Wondering what this person will be like, they size up Warren with an appraising look Nice to meet you

Warren

Guest's voice sounds like a child's, not even gone through puberty yet Making a kid like this work... well, he can't say he doesn't have mixed feelings about it, but apparently this is some ancient contract between dragons and humans, and the kid agreed to it, so he'll do his job

On the flip side, that means besides the duties specified in his assignment - caring for the dragon child and handling administrative communication for audiences - he's free to accommodate this kid's wishes
