Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cornelius nodded and let her pass by he dash across the floors sweeping his wash cloth along the boards. Every once in a while he put it back into the bucket to soak. As he worked he wondered why she'd called him "Corny" of all things. It sounded like a weird nickname. He worked though in an efficient method for another thirty minutes and managed to get all the grim off of her floors in her small home.

Cornelius put his rag back in the bucket stood up and said, "Okay, let's eat." His eyes targeting the deer. "And, yes, dragons are normally very hungry creatures. Male dragons tend to eat less though."

Cornelius thought for a moment and then pulled out a small painting of himself someone had done for him.



"I've got hooves for my fore claws, big, thick legs, a really long neck huge wings, and a rather shaggy mane." I'm not sure how to describe myself more than this since I can't see every part of my body. Oh, and I have a pretty scaly tail. I'm mostly a greenish-brown color. Kind of earthy looking." He explained as best he could. He handed her the picture and then walked over to the grill to sniff at the steaks and try to take one.

"Oh, he remembered, we need to determine what kind of dragon you may be once you become one. I'm an Earth dragon it's why I have a large cave that's eighty feet tall, I should show you that, and a lot of strength in my body." He pumped his bicep to show this aspect of himself off to Janis to see if he might impress her.

"All dragons are different... My mother had hooves and my father had claws I inherited the hooves from you know who. Anyway, you'll look different fro me too, but you will still be a dragon. I really don't know what determines what kind of dragon you are, but that's what I know mostly." Cornelius stated.

"Well, all dragons can naturally transform from human to dragon and back again, but when a female dragon becomes pregnant the baby becomes imbedded in the wall of their uterus or starts forming an egg shell around their soft, squish body. Due to the importance of a pregnancy's first weeks if one transforms too much during their early pregnancy they might hurt or lose their baby. Therefore, it's a good idea to decide if you want to stay human or be a dragon during your pregnancy." Cornelius stated as he took the plate from her and set it down on the table.

"You aren't thinking of becoming pregnant right? Because if you do you'll have to do many things if you wish to. You'll need to find a nest of course, but only if you wish to stay in your dragon form. This house would be too small for it. I could let my cave be a nest for you if you ever want to live there in the future. That is whenever you get pregnant."

He felt very weird talking about the subject. It almost felt like Janis was asking these questions more than out of curiosity. He leaned his elbows on the table and plopped his chin between the palm of his hands.

Cornelius ate his food and found the steaks very delicious. "I'm sorry I said some of the things I said. You probably didn't want to hear about how dragons reproduce, although, it might be important one day to you." While he said this he put his for down and said, "I can get the dishes for you."

He reached for Janis's plate and wondered how she'd respond.

"I don't need to get my books back, at least I don't think I do." Cornelius stated as he leaned back in his chair "I brought every book I had from my cave, although, I could maybe bring you back some other things to satisfy your stomach or alleviate any pains you might feel in the future." He smiled and looked down at her belly. Underneath her dress it appeared more round and firm than before. He pat his own stomach trying to trick her into patting her own. It was a human trick that he'd picked up sometime ago. If one did something strange like rub their head long enough the other person would either subconsciously do the exact same thing or question why the person who was doing it did it.
