how do you do magic if you're not a mage

fake magic for not mages?

where do you buy meat for dogs

no, not here. at home. she flew around and breathed fire and everything

maybe your duck friend can grow up to be a dragon

[schoolingfish]

oh. too bad. maybe she'll show up here!

and i'm not sure why a duck would turn into a dragon?

[bigfinish]

doubt it. don't take strange parcels from anybody, just in case

[Old dragon ladies expecting magical courier services, smh... a menace.]

dragon's a bigger thing with wings? i don't know. why does your friend turn into a duck?

[schoolingfish]

um, okay

why?

because she's a duck sometimes. that's just how she is.

[bigfinish]

old lady dragons like to boss people around. and it's dangerous for kids

isn't being a duck only sometimes [maker.] magic, or something?

[schoolingfish]

oh. are you sure? i mean, i'm sure old dragon ladies have kids and grandkids, too, and they aren't dangerous to them. and my mom always said humans were dangerous, and everyone i've met here is nice.

and it is magic, yeah.

[bigfinish]

i'm pretty sure you can't trust anybody who shows up and starts asking for favors, yeah. including human old ladies. or old ladies with grandkids

so a duck could magically turn into a dragon, is what we're saying

[schoolingfish]

i don't think people are necessarily bad just because they ask for favors

maybe they just need help.

oh...i guess you're right about that duck/dragon thing, though.
