( he's waving his hands already at the camera, looking a touch harried and with his tailtip visible and fluffed out: )

Hey! For anyone who's shifting into a dragon, or if you do, some advice for flying: don't worry about it. Try to swim, if you know what swimming's like. You're not a bird or a bat, nothing'll flap, so you know. Just keep swimming!

( palms pressed together, he makes his hands "swim" in a serpentine to try and indicate what he means. then nods to the camera. )

Garden carriage is where I'll be to fly with anyone who wants practise. I think it's got to be the void interfering with the candies. It's not gonna last, nothing in the candies is permanent, you'll be fine. Seriously don't crawl into small spaces though, that's not gonna be good if you shift back uncontrolled. Er... and you're going to be nude, so... plan for that?

[ A silvery-blue dragon twists and squints at him, crawling toward the ICP. His voice is still a little rough, still adjusting.]

How long will this last? Any idea?

[jingyeets]

Not for sure, but none of the candies give lasting effects, so...

( He holds up two fingers, doing some math, then holds up five. )

Under five hours at the longest?

[blue_ice]

All right.

[ The little Kaiba-dragon huffs and twists about. ]

I'll go to the garden, but do you think we could ask some of the humans to bring sheets or towels? I've tried dragging my clothes around. It's not going so well.

[jingyeets]

We're on ICP now, maybe shouting it enough will get people to listen. I'll bring some... I'll bring what I have. Or borrow things from laundry.

[blue_ice]

That's fine, thank you.

If there's enough time...I thought I might go to the baths. I'm small enough to swim laps around them, and it's marginally more acceptable for naked people to suddenly appear there.

[jingyeets]

Oh, sure, good idea! It's fun swimming around there, it was the only upside to when I was still forced to be toddler sized.

[blue_ice]

All right. I'll try to swim your way, but it might take a bit. I always assumed being a dragon would be easy...

[jingyeets]

Even humans aren't born capable of walking.

( said fairly reasonably, and he waves at the screen. not a dismissive motion so much as a okay, got it. )

If things were easy, we wouldn't feel half as excited when we get better at them. See you when you arrive, probably, unless you get here first, in which case I'll see you after I arrive.

[blue_ice]

On my way. Just not sure how long this'll take.

I'll ask any dragons I see if they want to come. Might as well spend the time doing something, hm?

[jingyeets]

Considering everything, yeah, I think it's better to keep active. Besides, when you get the hang of flying, it's great.

( he offers a smile, sort of, still bothered that this was a side effect... huh. )

See you soon.
