[James parades the fish around for a good few minutes, basking in the appreciative squawks and roars of his ADORING FANS. Finally he crouches to gnaw on it, unable to swallow it whole like his other catches. He gives the smallest dragon who dares to approach him a single rib (to sell when he is dragon famous.) Finally he flops onto his back with a satisfied puff of smoke.]
[Why would ANYONE ever want to leave this place? You could roll in grass and stuff yourself silly and everyone was so nice. Even the big black dragon had been nice enough not to snap his head off.]
Oh. Good. Now they'll never leave you alone. Looks like you have a talent.
[What was that? A genuine compliment?? It was, despite the fact Sideswipe is pretty backhanded about it. He's even padded up out of the water to sit in the sand, with his tail coiled around him in a neat circle.]
[Glancing around at the elder dragons watching them. Almost warily.]
... also go easy on the meat-eating or I'm going to have to answer a lot of stupid questions.
Maybe you can eat grass... Or -- [Oh god.] -- Or literally anything but that. Ew. Why would you do that.
[His lip curls back at the... needle teeth. Geez. These outsiders are weird and creepy. Even if they do know how to hoard well.]
[The little ones have mostly cleared out, leaving room for the big mottled dragon from earlier to heave up and wade into the lake. Sending a wave their way. Probably on purpose.]
With so many men fighting, all the prey ran away and they ruin the earth and made the river run low. I didn't have a choice.
[He watches the big blotchy dragon make their way into the water and remembers what one of the other dragons said about eating mixed metals. Looks like THEY weren't a picky eater like some dragons.]
You could have moved. Like a normal person. There's always more treasure, right?
[As he huffs further, flicking his forefeet to clear the water off his scales. There's an important problem here -- there's grit between his toes that must be cleaned.]
It's not like they were trying to kill you or you had anyone there. Right?
[Said blotchy dragon bats idly at the water, scowling furiously. Up until a much smaller, grey shape pops up next to them, proceeding to climb their shoulder like they're a rock wall. The big one just looks mildly affronted at the whole process, expression only turning more mollified when the small one offers up a fish about as big as JW's huge one had been.]
I mean, we can't leave. We'd all die. You would've been fine.

Poor you.

[HUFF HUFF.]

Well I can't do anything about it, look at my teeth.
[JW spreads his jaws wide to show off his little prey-snatching needles. He doesn't even have molars.]
If I can have fish, I'm not going back to picking rotting human flesh out of armor!

Well, I'll be out of your hair once the rains pass anyway. You can just tell the other dragons I don't have any rock teeth.
[He pointedly rolls over and away from Sideswipe.]

[As he indignantly pounces on the tip of the other dragon's tail. And ends up batting at it like a cat with string.]
Besides! Dad and Jetfire will probably want to interview you nonstop. You're probably stuck here.
no subject
[He swats Sideswipe on the snout with the end of his tail as the other dragon plays with it.]
I've never been interviewed before...
[JW is slowly warming up to the idea of this 'being popular' thing.]
