Aster rolled his eyes as he set Myrtle down, blushing deeply and crossed his arms over his bare chest as he stood beside the human girl. "I-Im n-nothing special however I look." he stuttered at the teasing as he averted his gaze in a attempt to hide his expression.
However, as Chu seemed to scold Myrtle for something, Aster stiffen a bit at the mention of hunters. Frowning as the description for crying for help brought back memories. He didn't remember having done any wrong, but no dragon came for his aid. No matter how loud or how long he cried, no one came for him. He cried until his throat was sore. Yet his dragon kind never came, and in the end it was a human who have saved him.
It made him wonder, if his family had done something wrong to have put him in such a situation. And as a child, he despised his own kind. Though when he finally managed to arrive at the tribe and the elders did all they could for him, he felt no further bitterness, only confusion. Though eventually, after Zafine's death, he came to a conclusion.
Myrtle listened to Chu and watched his disappointed expression before chuckling a little, seeming unfazed by the words. "Not lying, my mama and papa lived among humans. Do my words really sound like lies? Plus you don't really need to talk to humans to see the resemblance. I'm sure if you really respect the aspect of love, you can understand. Though I do admit, I'm lying a little. Only because Mama Aster may get in trouble." the light red head giggled, placing her right index finger over her lips in a 'it's a secret' motion.
To be honest, Aster probably would prefer her interacting with humans over dragons.
At Aster's silent stiffened form, she patted his shoulder comfortly.
Aster nervously shifted at Myrtle's words, lightly bonking her on top of the head. "Just shush." he grumbled.
Damia's left head merely nodded meekly though flicked her tongue out at the watch, sniffing it. While the right head rolled her eyes and snorted a little. "Why? Food is food and every dragon has their own tastes. Some eating humans like father. Some eating plants or cows. Every dragons consumes life since everything has life. Your crystals live, the ground, the stone, the trees and plants... All have life, all are consumed. Yet humans get special treatment? I see no anger shed when one eats a flower, fruit, animal, or vegetable or stone. No dragon seems willing to turn own their own for those lives. And rules say humans are not allowed, so it was a valid question, eaten or not. We respect every dragons lifestyle for each dragon is unique. That is the dragon moral. During the festival, each one can do what they wish. Outside, we respect one a others decisions." the right head spoke before snorting a bit.
The left head rolled her eyes at her other self before munching on the human sweet. Though now her mouth seemed sticky and was attempting to lick the substance away, but was otherwise seeming pleased.
