[Dragons Arriving]

"Swords are cool, too!" Lapis replies with ahead-bob, hopping a few steps forward on her hind legs before dropping to all fours again. "I tried using a sword once because Mister Wenomir uses one and he's so cool but it's super-hard to use swords when you don't have hands."

She has paws (sort of) at the wrist joints of her wings. But they aren't in a particularly great position for swording. She wiggles her little fingers anyway and swings the limbs around, making wooshing noises.

"I guess they never had me do any fighty stuff to test me after mom made me since I guess my job isn't really fighting?" she muses aloud. "I think I would be pretty good at it, though! I've got lots of pointy bits and no one ever expects getting bit from sideways in time."

Sideways in time.

What does that even mean?

"Oh! Oooooh! Maybe we could spar for the testy thing, Miss Nellens Halae! That would be so keen!"
