One of my nicest friends found his way home.  Venus put on her best dress and dipped closer to sing with Mars, but Mars hasn't got a voice today.

We'll go 'round and 'round, coming and going and always missing the ones we want to see.

I ask every night for someone nice.  Bits of the world fall in, but not the right bits.  I don't like them--

Dragons?

[nocakestoday]

Did you see them? Teeth and scales from top to bottom!

[harrysbackup]

Nope. Heard about...oh, you're talking about the dinosaurs.

[nocakestoday]

Yeah, and the roars--rrr.

There's a cloud about your head.

[everheardoftact]

Threaten me all you would like, Drusilla. But not Buffy and certainly not Willow. I don't want to have to ask politely many more times.

[nocakestoday]

You're no fun to threaten.

[everheardoftact]

Yes, well, I should hope at least some of you had learned that lesson, after what Angel had done to me. You should know I'm not afraid of you at this juncture, vampire.

[nocakestoday]

Won't you be even a little frightened?

[favored_son]

Literal dragons or is that more crazy talk?

[nocakestoday]

Dinosaurs. They're very close.

[favored_son]

Eh. Maybe for you they are.

[nocakestoday]

I wish they breathed fire, dinosaurs.

[dreamsofnoah]

There's another dragon left~ at least. A real one, not like the dinosaurs.

[nocakestoday]

Is he all caged up?

[dreamsofnoah]

I don't think Kurai would let him be caged. She's very fond of him.

[nocakestoday]

All the better! Every story needs a dragon, and dragons need to be free to fly and burn little villages.

[nocakestoday]

Don't you like it? I would be so much happier.

[nocakestoday]

They don't understand--or want to.
