Okay

Violet tried to get as little stew as possible without trying to look suspicious, and then started eating it.

"Why can you turn into a human?" She asked the dragons.

"Yeah. My society likes to stay in human form though. Its a big mix of Humans and Dragons over there."

Wait, you're a dragon? I didn't approve that!

Why can you turn into a human?" She asked the dragons. 

"Because it's an integral part of our identities."

“We just can. The cruelest of us use it for deception.”

“No. Humans are humans and dragons are dragons.”

"But also humans." She shrugged. "It seems unfair."

"But also a human." Violette sighed. "Humans are directly inferior to dragons. That just... Doesn't seem right to me."

Violette did too. 

There was that undying sense. That feeling of unchecked curiosity. The kind that made her want to ask questions. Why do dragons stay in dragon form? What's the difference between a human and a dragon in human form? How do dragons speak both draconic and common? Does metabolism change between forms?

So many questions. A hurricane of confusion surrounded her.

"I just want to know." She whispered to herself.

And what was wrong with that?
