I don't know about that, but... why wouldn't I want them in my life forever?

[wants_the_phd]

I think that when you've found the thing you want in your life forever, that's when you've started to identify your true calling.

[adorabrawler]

Umm...

... I don't know about true callings, really. They're just my best friends.

[wants_the_phd]

That's okay.

You have a long life ahead of you, right? You have time.

[adorabrawler]

Maybe... I guess so. But don't you, too?

[wants_the_phd]

[Wry]

No.

[adorabrawler]

Really? ... I didn't think you were that old.

[wants_the_phd]

How old do you think I am?

[adorabrawler]

Uhhhh... I don't actually know. I thought dragons lived for like, ever or something, so for all I know you're three-hundred years old and that's still considered super young.

[wants_the_phd]

For some of us, that's true.

But for my caste, our lifespan is about 25 years.

[adorabrawler]

—What? But that's so short!

[wants_the_phd]

Tell me about it.

We grow much faster than you do, though. We join adult society by ten. You humans remain children for so long...

[adorabrawler]

We do compared to most animals, really... But we live for a long time.

[wants_the_phd]

You do.

So, it's okay to not know what you want the rest of it to look like. The world is very large. There's a lot of it to explore.

[adorabrawler]

Yeah, I know... It's just not something I have to worry about until I hit highschool.

[wants_the_phd]

When does that happen?

[adorabrawler]

I'll be about sixteen by then, so not for a while.

[wants_the_phd]

How old are you now?

[adorabrawler]

I'm twelve.
