2024-07-20 - Something new and... fluffy? 4.6.1

What were those? What were those?

The commotion from the puppies' escape had drawn Ilrioth's attention quickly - the emotions much more light and mirthful than most had been in recent times. Then, the beasties were among the Eggs and all was wonderful, fluffy chaos. These were no dragon nor human mind, not even one of the Strange ones. These minds were much simpler - all fleeting curiosity and joyful playfulness. One of the strangely soft beings bumped lightly against its egg, causing it to shift slightly in the sand.

The movement elicited a tinkling of delighted laughter from the comet-struck egg. Ilrioth could practically feel the lifting of moods around him, and he reflected that, although these shenanigans seemed to be wholly unplanned, there was something to be said for the healing power of laughter. And puppies! While he could not precisely see these puppies, he assumed they must be doggone cute to cause such a delightful scene.

As another puppy dug out a resting spot in the hollow the shifting of Ilrioth's egg had left, the dragonet let out a content sigh. Yes, a nice nap after a ruff day was just what the dogtor ordered.
