"Well, since humans only like people who speak like them -I've heard of race-em, mind you!- if I speak like them, maybe they'll realize dragons aren't so evil! And I won't go to Human hospitals, I've seen how they sacrifice people!"

Oh my God why was that so sad out of nowhere 
Ferences nodded approvingly. “You are wise young one and I am very proud of you. Anytime somebody exhibits race-em you go and you bite them.”

IDK her family and friends are dead so I think she has the right to be depressing

"But... biting can give babies. I don't wanna give babies. The hospital people say babies are bad!"

Ferences ran a hand through his hair. I swear to the Gods I’m going to throw this infant off a tower. “Rabies not babies. Rabies is a sickness babies are uh… smaller citizens. Anyway we make exceptions for people who are racer-ist. You can give them rabies.”

Smaller citizens

"Ohhh. Rabies. And babies. Got it. Wait, where do babies come from, then, if not my bite? And why can I bite racer-ist people but not not-race-em Humans?"

“Racer-ist people and race-em humans are the same. As for babies… that’s a question for a teacher not a… traveling entropnenur such as myself.”

"If you can explain Human Healer things like germs, you can explain where babies come from!"

I'm sorry Spartan, she must always be a wrongly curious dragon child.

“Sure can’t. Want to go rob someone? They could have rare collectables.”

“Robbery is when we… permanently borrow something from someone without them… giving permission. Think of it as a game with higher stakes and higher rewards. As for what kind of collectables.. that’s half the fun! It could be coins, it could be snacks, it could be another third option. You don’t know until you try,”

"But I don't wanna upset the Humans!" Cerouge said. "Divine, do people like getting robbed?" @IcedOutPenguin

Ferences stretched out an arm. “As the resident human I can assure you humans love robbing each other. So much so there are whole businesses built off of it,”

Are you trying to corrupt Cerouge?

And failing?

"But... I took something from a Human once... and he got really really mad... I mean, do Humans care about vases that much? It was so dusty inside too, it's like he never cleaned it! And when I dropped it, he started crying. Probably because there was dust everywhere and he had to clean it- but case in point Mr. Preg-ant, I don't think Humans like robbing."

She shrugged. "I don't know."

"Well, I dunno Mr. Preg-ant, it don't seem like Humans like being robbed." @SpartanBrigade

OH MY GOSH THAT’S SO DARK  

Ferences winced. “I’m sure he was just having a bad day in general. But have you concerned sometimes people should be upset? The person who drives you away from your home, the one who tries to stab you, the one who kicks you out of your home and takes the cat in the divorce? Those people deserve to be permanently borrowed from.”

Cerouge shall always be innocent, even if it's dark sometimes.

"Only the hydra. Otherwise, Humans seem pretty nice! Like, I met this one guy who was running from a Hospital. This Hospital was full of coins, though, and he looked in a rush. I asked if he needed anything and he said to 'distract the police'. He said it so politely, and even though I never saw him again, well, he was nice!"

"And what's a dibberse?"

Paper money doesn't exist. So pretend it just says coins

Ferences snapped his fingers. “See I knew you had it in you. You, Miss Cerouge, being the nice young lady you are, helped a man in need of assistance. And I too am a man in need of assistance and I’d be delighted if you joined me.”

“Here,” Ferences drew a stone from his cloak and tossed it to her. It was opaque with veins of silver streaking across the surface. “Collector’s item, just for you,”
