He's just gonna sit in a corner of the Zone out of the way from everyone and cry for awhile until he gets over this.

He approaches carefully, wings folded, head cocked. "Um. Excuse me. Are you okay?"

"You're...you're a dragon! But...b-but you're different from the other one, you're black and...but...but how can dragons be black? Oh stars nothing's making sense anymore..." He sniffs hard, trying to stop sobbing. Pull yourself together, Jin. Ignore the fact that you're a pony and have a little scythe symbol on your butt.
"But, wait a second...that voice, I know you. You. You're Conrit?"

He inches forward a little, worried. "I guess the te-le-porter made you a pony, huh? Don't cry, it'll be okay."

Oh stars he is so not prepared to deal with this right now.
"I. I think it must be. Teleporter, h-huh? W-Why is this happening?"
Reply
He's hoping Jin's just panicked enough that he'll move on from the whole "are you normally a dragon" question. Adults do that sometimes and then he doesn't have to lie.

He stamps his hoofs pitifully. "But...y-you being a dragon, that's..."

Conrit wags his tail a little. "It doesn't feel that weird. Um. Why is a black dragon so strange? Is it not an okay color?"
Reply
"It's...I've just never seen a black dragon. Where...where I'm from dragons are...are brighter colors. I mean...I mean I guess th-this means that there are dragons out there who aren't...aren't like...well, like me. At least. Me, normally." His ears fold again. "I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or anything, just...it's, it's a good thing that you're a dragon and, and it's fine that you're black too. Just. I'm not used to d-different kinds of dragons."

"You're a dragon?" Oh man, he can not sound more excited. "Really? You mean it?"
Reply
"Heh...man, this is all really messed up, huh?"
He scrubs at his eyes with one surprisingly dexterous foreleg. "Yeah, I am. Um, you know, normally. I'm a star dragon. Sun dragon. We live inside stars and stuff. So...so you really are a dragon too? Or, well. You're a kind of dragon?"

"There's another dragon here! This is so neat! It's been hard to hide it, but I got told I had to hide it from the humans or they might hurt me and my family and all the other dragons, so I did. But it's harder here than it was in Nieve because everyone's so different and I kept thinking someone's gonna notice and I'm gonna get made into boots and... and... How do you live in stars, they're so far up in the sky!"
Reply
"A-Ah, I, I'm glad you're...so happy! Man, I'm...yeah, this is pretty exciting! I mean, the only other dragon I saw was, was that one blue one that came in with that girl, but...I mean, a real sentient, talking dragon...it's pretty amazing! But like...f-forgive me for asking but, you're not a star dragon?"
This is pretty exciting, but now Jin remembers to be nervous. There's a hatchling all up in his business, and even if he isn't a star dragon, he's still a dragon. A hatchling. The other sun dragons would kill him for this, probably literally.
"That's...that's too bad about the humans thing. B-But don't worry, no one's gonna make you into boots here, that's, that's just terrible! I won't let that happen. And, um, we live in stars cause...it's...it's kind of just what we do. We're just designed for it. And we can travel to other stars and to planets and stuff."

Conrit wags his tail happily. "I hatched in a cave. Did you hatch in a star?"

Oh stars this is so weird.
"But, um, yeah! We, star, or uh, sun dragons, yeah, we hatch inside stars."
