[Iron Dragoon]

I've read, but wasn't sure how much of it applies since it's nicer for dragons and I'm not actually a dragon.

[Corwin]

Seira sits back down again, waiting patiently.

[Anastasia]

It applies, so don't worry about that.

A moment later Alyssa, Emily and Lady Honeydip come in. Tiamat regards them, "And our other guest arrives," she announces, "Join us."

[Corwin]

"The chairs are self-service," Seira cheerfully tells them. "Hey there!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa slightly raises an eyebrow, but nods and sits next to Seira.

"I doubted the validity of your messenger and invitation and refused initially. Once I heard Seira accepted, I decided it might be worth it to investigate."

[Corwin]

"Guts!" Seira insists, complete with guts pose.

[Anastasia]

"I had thought to invite you, considering your...relevance to draconic issues," Tiamat says, smiling smugly.

[Iron Dragoon]

"And what do you know of my relevance to draconic issues, exactly? The only way I become a dragon is temporarily with magic."

[Corwin]

Seira wants to know that too! It's not via marriage, is it?

[Anastasia]

"Please," Tiamat says, "Do not take me for a fool."

Emily stays neutral if ready.

"Well, people take me as one all the time and it's not so bad," Donald points out, "They usually end up getting their asses kicked."

[Corwin]

"And you're a dragon," Seira adds helpfully. "Of a sort. The results of hard training!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I want to make sure my understanding is the same as yours. I'm not, in fact, a dragon, in any significant way that I can tell. I have certainly have connections to dragons, but myself? No, I don't qualify as a dragon as far as I know."

[Anastasia]

"Foolish woman," Tiamat laughs, "Did I say you were a dragon?"

Emily's eyes narrow at that, "Then speak plainly."

"Ah, I see, I see," Lady Sanzha murmurs.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Yes, I'm not quite sure how you're connecting me to dragons outside of Emily and Seira, so I'd ask that you be plain about it and what 'draconic issues' I'm connected to, since I don't have any regular contact with any."

[Anastasia]

"That, godling, is that your patron is a great dragon." She leans forward, "By some reckonings, that makes us siblings."
