Peri paced the front of the classroom as he stared at the empty chalkboard. Unfortunately, no one knew anything about these dragons and he hadn't found anything in any of his books. It was some sort of plant-type, he knew that much. Oh well, he'd probably learn something from the girl and he could make some guesses as to the nature of the dragon.

Mellifee went through the hallway until she spotted the right room number, her dragon following her lazily. She turned and beckoned to the dawdling dragon. "Faster Xylon! And don't forget to say hello too when we'll go in."
The bee girl was eager to attend this special class, she was always happy to learn more about dragons as she wanted to raise hers as best as possible . When she told Xylon about it, the dragon had nodded amiably, though to be honest, he could have done without this "classes" thing. The plant dragon wasn't that partial to indoors. The smell of the building here made him slightly nauseous. At home at least, the floors and walls were wooden and even so he generally prefered to stay outside, basking in sun or perched on a tree. But since Xylon was very attached to Mellifee and understood the classes were important to her friend he had come without making a fuss.
Mel knocked at the door and entered the room. The man inside seemed vaguely familiar... Ah yes, he was the instructor who was in charge of the egg tour. She smiled at him: "Hello... er I'm Mellifee and this is Xylon, we came for the dragon class." The dragon observed the teacher for an instant and then let out a strange gurgling sound as a greeting.

Peri grinned at the young girl who entered, her interesting dragon tagging along behind. "Hello. I'm Mr. Coleman, you may remember me from the egg tour." He paused for a moment. "Usually I open the class asking if you've got questions about your dragon, however..." The man frowned for a second. "However, we don't know much of anything about your dragon's breed. As you can see, it's a plant-type and I can make some guesses as to what you might be able to expect, but they'll just be guesses. Mainly, I'd like for you to tell me what you do know about your dragon. You're the expert in this case."

This took Mellifee by surprise. She had somewhat expected that that coming to class meant having the teacher tell her things, but now it looked more like she had to make a report. She nodded. "Allright..." The bee girl looked at the dragon and patted his head. "Well Xylon is very nice dragon, we get along well. Err he... Actually I'm not sure if he is a boy or a girl, but I just call it a "he"."
Taking care of the dragon hadn't posed major difficulties so far. She gave him water and played with him everyday. He mostly took care of the rest by himself. She tried to think what useful information she could give the teacher.
"Xylon likes water and sun. He likes sunbathing especially. And also to climb on trees... Hmm what else?" The dragon came to her help and acted as he was scratching the floor with one of his forepaws .
"Oh yes, he likes soil too. He says sunlight and earth help him to get his food."

Peri jotted a couple of things down and nodded. "I suspected that a lot of his powers and abilities would fall along a sort of plant aspect. Plants can make their own food by using sunlight as well as water and nutrients from the soil." The man paused and studied the young dragon's appearance for a moment.
"See those buds on his back? I have a feeling that when he gets old enough to start using his abilities, they'll open up and flower out. That's when you'll get to help him. One of the few things we do know is that his breed has to be pollinated. That means that pollen from one flower has to go to another."
Peri didn't know much botany, but this much was fairly simple, at least. "Bees are nature's pollinators, so that's why you were chosen for him. Lots of times, it's the other way around, which is why you got him so early..."

Mellifee nodded as her gaze was directed to Xylon's buds. She had been told bee DNA was chosen because D-Corp needed a child with pollinating abilities to help the dragon, though so far they had remained vague about how she was supposed to pollinate him. But she had started to understand after shedding her pupa skin. Honey bees had hair on their legs which collects the pollen as they visit flowers to gather nectar for making honey. The fur on her limbs had a similar property, pollen was sticking to it, as she was able to notice it during her trips to the garden.
Something in Perilas' words intriged her: "Abilities? His flowers won't just be decorative?"

Peri shook his head. "No, not entirely. As to what kind of a role they'll play in his powers, I'm not entirely sure. My guess as to his breath weapon attack when he gets older would be lightning, as that's the usual one for earth-type dragons, but his might vary from that. Who knows... we'll see when he gets older, I suppose."

"So you are quite the mystery." Mellifee told the plant dragon, who grinned. She made a mental note to drop by the library later to research about earth dragons and other types as well. Maybe Xylon was different from them, but information about dragons in general might still be useful.
"Do all dragons have a breath attack?" She asked the teacher.
"And.. do fire dragons generally get along well with earth dragons?" Xylon seemed pretty easy-going and Mellifee doubted he would intentionally provoke another dragon into a fight. Though the bee girl felt a little bit concerned about him meeting a fire breathing dragon, due to his vegetal characteristics.

Peri chuckled at the girl's comment to her dragon, then nodded. "Yes, all the dragons have a breath attack. Some have a fire, some lightning. Some have two, though one is more powerful than the other. It varies from breed to breed."
At her second question, he paused and thought for a moment. "Generally, yes. I believe they do. Most fights between dragons are due to territory. At least in the wild. So it's hard to say, but most of the dragons seem to get along fairly well with each other."

"Oh I see." It was a relief to hear that most dragons get along together.
"Is there anything else that I should know about dragons or the classes? I heard there usually were flight lessons later but what happens when you have a dragon that can't fly?" The plant dragon didn't had wings and it seemed unlikely that he had a power that would had allowed him to get airborne.

"I've got other classes. There's a few other dragons that can't fly, so I've had to set up something for them. There's also classes where they learn their breath attacks and how to fight." The man smiled. "We'll have plenty to do."

Mellifee beamed at the teacher. She definitely looked forward to the interaction with her dragon.
The mention of fighting classes seemed to spark some interest in the dragon who had so far been quietly listening to the on-going conversation. "Outdoorrrss?" He inquired.

Peri chuckled. "Some of the classes are held outdoors, yes." He glanced at the two for a moment. "Well, unless you have more questions, I think we're done."
