How could he not love a lesson on dragons?

"That is correct, very good. The Chinese Fireball does have a very distinct shaped flame." Hady smiled softly, giving a nod of her head.

Like, a Hebridean Black, Hungarian Horntail or a Norwegian Ridgeback.

Mhmm, yes. Nod nod. "Narrowing it down to the color of their scales would be helpful for sure." Especially if they had said white. Just like going by a dragons eye color could be useful.

Like the Welsh Green sounds musical.” A personal favourite for obvious reasons and quite frankly the only one she was sure of. It reminded her of Elliot in Pete’s Dragon, big and green and enjoyed singing. Maybe she would like to meet one.

There was one of the answers she had been waiting for. "Absolutely, very good. Not only is their musical roar unique to them but it is amazing beautiful as well." Dragons were fascinating.

If she didn’t, one might think she was either too weak to voice her thoughts or too dumb to come up with any, and she was going to prove to everyone here that she was not some weak, dumb little firstie!

Hady had noticed that she had been sketching but she was paying attention and actively participating in answering questions so, for now she wasn't going to comment on it. "Yes, indeed! While those three all may have horns, each one has a different look, texture and size." Another great answer.

"Dragon eggs are incredibly unique among each species and it is quite literally impossible to confuse one egg for another," she offered with puckered lips. "Whether that be the vibrant red resembling a large dragon fruit of a Chinese Fireball or the lustrous and smooth ebony color of a Norwegian Ridgeback or the turquoise gemstone-like quality of the Peruvian Vipertooth, dragon eggs are incredibly distinct and should you happen upon a nest in the wild...you will know precisely what sort of mother will come and BBQ you if you don't get out of there ASAP."

"Dragon mothers are fiercely protective of their eggs and it would be in your best interest to keep far away from a nest should you ever happen upon one. Right you are!" Paton smiled, nodding her head at the indepth answer. She was always happy to chat about creatures if a student was interested.

With no more hands in the air, Paton smiled and rose to her feet. "Wonderful answers everyone. As we can all see, each dragon is different. It could be it's horns, tail, scale color or musical roar." They had complied quite the list from their previous questions. "It is now time to move with our lesson so let's all get to our feet please and follow me, we will be taking a short walk where you will all get to go digging for dragon bones to reconstruct your own dragon skeleton!" Were they all excited?!

"Now before any of you ask, these are not real dragon bones, they are replicas and on a much smaller scale.. otherwise I wouldn't have enough for you all and for the very obvious reason that giving everyone dragon bones to create a skeleton just isn't likely." Sorry to disappoint. This would be fun though anyhow. "This way now. Come along." Hady gestured for them all to follow her out further into the pasture where there were more trees and some plants as well as little hills.

When she came to a stop there was a box at her feet with gloves and another box of 'tools' used for digging and cleaning off the bones when found. "You are welcome to use the items in the boxes here or magic if like, as long as you're careful." She didn't want anyone getting hurt. "Keep in mind these dragon bones aren't huge but you shouldn't have too much of a hard time in finding them. Feel free to work alone or in small groups of you like." This was a learning experience but also meant to be fun.

OOC: Heeeeey! Thanks for sticking with us! We made it to the main activity! The students get to dig us 'dragon' bones to recreate their own dragon skeletons. There will be about 36 hours for this part. Hady will be checking in and is around if anyone needs help/has questions
