LOOK OUT!
"Hey dude," Paff said as she walked up to Justin on the balcony. "What's up?"
"Nothing yet," Justin sighed. "How was your meeting?"
"Fine enough," Paff said. "Squinette's actually very nice."
"I told you."
Paff leaned on the railing; "No sign of anything?"
"Nope."
"Goddammit," she groaned. "What kind of a gay job is this? I wanna get payed!"
"You wanna get payed for everything you do," Justin said.
"Of course!"
Paff turned, and made a dark glance at Justin, but he didn't look at her; Tamintha, the golden dragon thatbelonged to King Andrew, swooped down behind Paff. She turned, and tripped over backwards from surprise. Justin laughed.
Sorry for surprising you, Tamintha said.
"That's... alright," Paff got up.
"Hello, your majesty," Justin said.
Oh, you don't need to call me that, young one, Tamintha said. I am not your queen.
"You're not?" Paff asked.
No. I am queen of the dragons. You are human, so you need not refer to me as your queen, but refer Andrew as your king.
"Ah," Justin nodded. "That makes sense. So... dragons don't call King Andrew a king?"
No. Tamintha answered. Dragons call me their queen, and you humans call Andrew your king.
"Okay," Paff said. "I get it now. God, we're so new here!"
Well, there's not much to know, Tamintha said. Except that's important. It is considered the most disrespectful thing to ignore Andrew's royalty.
"I'll keep that in mind," Paff said, a bit defiantly.
Another thing you should know, Tamintha added. Is how to properly address yourself. You know my name, but I don't know yours!
"Well... how should we introduce ourselves?" Justin asked.
First, you should know whether to introduce yourself or not, Tamintha said. The only manditory reason somebody would introduce themselves customly is if you're doing it for someone of higher standing or authority over yourself.
For example; I am the queen of the dragons! Although I am not your queen, I still have a much higher standing then yourself. Therefore, you should introduce yourself first. You greet me, and then say your name and the city of your birth. Now try.
"Okay..." Justin said, he thought about something si. "Hello, I am Justin of New York."
Good.
"Hello," Paff said. "I am Paff of Windfall Island."
There. Now, if I wish, I can introduce myself. However; even if I weren't queen, I would still have a high standing over you, for I am a dragon, and you are human. If you were Riders, however, you would have a higher standing over me, and I would introduce myself to you, and then you would have the option of introducing yourself.
"Would we have to introduce ourselves to other humans?" Paff asked.
No, Tamintha answered. But with any other creature, you would, unless you were a Rider.
"How would a dragon introduce themself to me?" Justin asked.
They would state their name, and the name of one of their birthparents. Females would say that they're the daughter of their mother, while males would say that they're the son of their father. For instance; I would say that I am Queen Tamintha, daughter of Bréssa, and I would also say the name of my Rider.
"Cool!" Paff exclaimed.
Personally, Tamintha started. I like introducing myself to humans, despite my not needing to. Chorae and Itìs prefer introducing themselves, too.
"Wow," Justin said. "How many dragons live here?"
Many, was Tamintha's answer. The number has gone down tremendously over the past few years.
"One question," Paff said. "Umm... Are there any evil dragons? You know... any dragons that live with the MUM?"
Yes, actually, there are two.
"Who are they?" Justin asked.
Fynit and Utmel, Tamintha answered.
