aldersprigDay 5 of 30 days of Fiction: "5) Write a scene entirely in dialog."
This is the direct sequel to Hatching, and references "Damn dragons, get off my lawn!"
“I hope the noise isn’t bothering you.”
“Not at all. We were just curious; we’ve never seen a baby dragon before.”
“Oh! Well, come on in, the hatching is nearly over. Mind your step, little Cthannie is teething. Right through here…”
“You’ve done wonders with the place.”
“Oh, well, it had good bones. The ogres didn’t leave much but bones. But it had good bones. And here’s our little darling. Don’t worry, the asbestos diaper will protect you.”
“Oh, eee, adorable! Such tiny little claws and teeth! And those ears!”
“They grow into the ears.”
“And the scales? You two are both such warm, fiery colors, and your baby is blue? I’ve never seen a blue dragon.”
“Darling, you’re being rude.”
“No, not at all. The blue fades after a few months into purple, and shifts to red when they’re nearly grown-up. The middle stage can be a little awkward, though.”
“Oh, you mean like Jimmy? Oh, my, I’m sorry, that was horribly rude.”
“Like Jimmy, yes. Scales peeling, shifting colors in spots. He’s nearly done with the awkward stage now.”
“…”
“…”
“Burrrrrrrraaaap!”
“…”
“…”
“Your baby really is lovely. Do the acid belches last for long?
“Oh, hardly any time at all. Here, let me get that for you. Sorry to be so familiar, but dragon spittle has an acid neutralizer.”
“Somehow, I am not surprised. Congratulations on the newest addition to the Smith family; I think perhaps we should be heading home.”
“Thank you, thank you, and do come over any time.”
“Mommy! Mommy, oooh, ooh, so adorable can I hold it can I please?”
“Ah. Hem. This is our daughter, Juniper. Terribly sorry about that.”
“No problem at all. They seem to be getting along quite well, don’t they?”
