Havok : Damn skippy I can! …Though only for a limited amount of time. Dragons, at least Kurosian Dragons, have a special mucus that lines our mouths and throats to protect our flesh from the heat of fire. Or, just helps protect ourselves from our own breathable elements. For me, I breathe just regular fire, but the mucus that lines my throat and mouth doesn’t recoat as often as most regular dragons do.

In short, I can, but if I breathe fire for too long, I’ll burn holes through my throat. I’ve come close a few times, I’ve burned my own esophagus to the point of coughing up blood. It’s… not fun, to say the least, and can take days to heal up.

Lost Queen : Ha! I’m surprised you noticed, honestly it took me a while to notice myself. I could tell he wasn’t all that keen on talking about it, and for a time I thought it happened some tragic way. After all, missing limbs was VERY common in our culture. Sometimes Kuros bragged about them, sometimes they’d rather not speak of it. Kruta seemed almost embarrassed by it, and yeah, it was odd that he just had a single toe missing and not his whole foot. It took a while for our friendship to grow enough for him to ignore Raigur’s teasing to tell me.

Turns out, one of his nestmates just got too rough when he was a whelp and bit it off and ate it.
