Got to work this morning to discover that not one, not two, but three baby Short-Snouts had escaped. Apparently some genius forgot to lock them up.

Because locking up dragons is something that just slips ones mind, apparently.

Took 5 of us to get the bloody things back into their cage, and 2 sets of eyebrows were scorched off in the process. I am happy to say that I came through unscathed.

Poor little buggers looked miserable - the dragons that is, though my hairless co-workers looked equally unhappy. I put some extra brandy in with their blood as a peace offering.

	Yes, Max. I'm joking. Well, not about the brandy. That part is true. We mix it with chicken blood until they're about a year old. I don't really know why but I'm assuming it's to help them sleep. These little guys went out like a light, though one of them got the hiccups shortly after feeding. I found it hilarious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~HICCUPS~~ Ha ha hilarious--- hiccuping-- dragons--! Tell me more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well there's only so much you can do for a hiccuping dragon, unfortunately. It's not as though I can instruct it to hold its breath, so we kind of had to let the little guy ride it out. The problem was that dragon hiccups are pretty flammable. Almost lost another set of eyebrows. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	BABY SHORT-SNOUTS! I didn't know they'd hatched! ORION! You are supposed to keep me up to date with these things! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	mmmsodreamy 2013-07-10 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	They hatched only last week! You should come and see them before they get too big and can start unlocking the cage on their own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you want to come, than come. That enough of an invitation for you? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You know, if you had free-range dragons this wouldn't be a problem. Then you just have to worry about dragons who hold a grudge! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	mmmsodreamy 2013-07-11 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	This is true, though I feel as though we might have a lot of other things to worry about if they were just roaming about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marridgeback 2013-07-11 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like more of an excuse than a real concern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You should talk to the people who run the joint, for I am but a lowly peon who does their bidding. Just flash them one of those big smiles and tell them they're doing it all wrong - I don't think I charm them half as much as I used to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What! Are you getting out of practice, Orion? I thought you used to be quite the charmer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mmmsodreamy 2013-07-11 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	I like to think that wizards who write my paychecks have just become immune to my charms. I do try and get as much practice as possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Absolutely terrible. Makes it difficult to get away with half the shit I do that I'm not "supposed" to. Rules are overrated, if you ask me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You've turned me green with envy. Bloody hell, I can't even imagine working for either my parents. I have no desire to work a 9-5 job at the ministry like my father, and I think I'd lose my mind if I were cooped up in an astronomy tower with my mother all day. Love the woman to death, but she is overly enthusiastic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marridgeback 2013-07-11 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	I seem to recall that she might've been a bit overexcited over constellations, it's true. Well, at least your current job keeps you outside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's like saying the ocean is a bit wet. I love my job, don't get me wrong, I just don't like the people I work for. Each of them has a stick shoved way too far up their ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marridgeback 2013-07-11 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Is it a literal stick? Maybe they had an accident. You ought to ask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tried, once. It's apparently a very touchy subject, seeing how the consequence of me asking was being sentenced to a month of cleaning dragon dung. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think I called that 'my pubescent years', cleaning dragon dung. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
