And why are shrens shrens?

[alicornucopia]

They're grotesque and contagious and mockeries of true siaddaki dragons who are what the species is meant to be. They're wastes of space, of magic, of emotion. Draconic would be remiss if it didn't make sure these important facts were known.

[powerispain]

Okay, but alternately, how about not that?

[alicornucopia]

BUT SHRENS.

[powerispain]

...Okay, but what about slightly less that?

[alicornucopia]

Nah. She's not even a dragon it doesn't care what she thinks.

[powerispain]

How does it know she's not a dragon?

[alicornucopia]

It can tell. She doesn't have any dragon traits.

[powerispain]

Okay, well how about it has to listen to her anyway because she's an incredibly powerful mage and it's evil and also the most blatantly incorrect thing she's ever encountered in her life?

[alicornucopia]

No.

[powerispain]

YES.

[alicornucopia]

SHE'S NOT A DRAGON IT'S NOT LISTENING NYAH NYAH NYAH.

[powerispain]

Look, it's not like she's saying it has to adopt an acceptable viewpoint. Just tone it down. Just a smidge. Just the tiniest of little bits. She's being more than reasonable, really.

[alicornucopia]

Thhhhpbt.

[powerispain]

Anyway, it can't be that great, it's obviously an idiot if it thinks shrens are a fundamentally separate category from dragons, and since no dragons have been intelligent enough to correct it, she has to step in. It's its own fault, really, if it didn't want a non-dragon meddling it shouldn't ought to need it.

[alicornucopia]

Nuh uh it's siaddaki.

[powerispain]

How is that even possible? Draconic isn't a dragon, it's a language.

[alicornucopia]

She doesn't even speak it so how would she know, nyeaaaaah.

[powerispain]

Why, because a dragon told her so.

[alicornucopia]

Pfffft.

[powerispain]

"This thing is profoundly obnoxious," she mutters. Why are shrens "perversions of the draconic form"?

[alicornucopia]

Ehail shrugs.

It's 'cause they can't fly, duh.

[powerispain]

And why is that a bad thing?

[alicornucopia]

Because if they were dragons they could.

[powerispain]

Draconic can't fly. Draconic doesn't even have wings!
