[for the past week or two, a giant dragon has been brooding at the edge of camp. no food, no socializing- all of that good sulky stuff.

but now the dragon is hungry. and there is a goat.]

I do not mind going after the ill or crippled animals when I am catching or hunting my own food, and I am going to eat it anyway, of course, but does this one

Looks strange to me.

[canhascow]

Oh, good, I am not the only one who thinks so.

[heightruled]

I wonder if there's something wrong with it...

[canhascow]

I am thinking that is diseased; Yuta, my runner, says it is the only one that did not put up a fuss when he was trying to catch a goat for me.

[grewuptootsun]

It's very strange but it's one I was able to drag here.

The others all bit me.

[canhascow]

Oh, oh I am sorry, goats are incredibly uncooperative beasts.

[grewuptootsun]

And smell terrible.

[canhascow]

That too, yes, but thankfully they do not taste like they smell.

[serpentinfire]

. . . It's eyes are . . .

[he doesn't really have the words]

[canhascow]

Peculiar.

[serpentinfire]

Yes.

[canhascow]

[sniffs the goat :|a]

[raburaburabu]

Picky?

[canhascow]

I am not being picky, I did say that I would eat it anyway, did I not?

[raburaburabu]

That does not change the fact that you are upset by its appearance.

[canhascow]

Well it is a very different appearance from what goats usually have. It should be bleating and bolting around, not standing there all droopy and wet.

[justasclamped]

You eat goats?

[canhascow]

Oh yes, I ate a great many of them in the old Camp, since there were no cows and the forest had only a handful of deer.

[justasclamped]

Ah. Then perhaps the goat is not happy about becoming a meal.

Perhaps it was, horses and goats and all sorts of animals kick up a panic when they smell a dragon nearby; it is their instinct to be frightened, and we must drug them or cover their noses with satchets of herbs when we are working with them.
