[Why he expected Yukihina-san to help him out, Izumida's not sure. He backs toward the fridge, keeping an eye on the dragon the entire time. Maybe there's some lunch meat in here or something...]
[And stuff. Could be he fed it pieces of himself for all Izumida knows.
That mental image makes him shudder. The dragon picks right up on that, crowding in and trying to get in the fridge.]
Ah, no! You're a lizard, that can't be good for you!
[Cue a minor struggle between a person who is appropriately afraid of a dragon and a dragon that is just too small to win this battle with a person Izumida's size. They both end up on the floor, none too quietly.]
[ And stuff. That includes a lot of stuff. Not himself though, those bits would just go right back out because of his regenerative abilities. That would not give any nutrition to the dragon.
He looks up to see what's going on, and raises an eyebrow. ]
Zoja crawls on me and I'm just as cold.
[ This will be even more fun to watch once the dragon grows up. Thinking of, he needs to get a hut for it for when it's outside. It can already sleep at the end of Yukihina's and Hiyori's bed when it's inside. ]
[Resident dragon and garbage disposal. There's no internet here; he can't even see what you're supposed to feed a dragon. Assuming there's even guides for that kind of thing, but it's the internet, it'd have it.
Izumida sees Yukihina-san looking and sighs. Yes, he got knocked over by the microdragon.]
Yes but that's different, the air around it is still normal temperature. ... Zoja?
[The dragon doesn't react so he's not sure that's its name. There are just so many animals here to keep track of...]
[ You bet the library or bookstore has something on it. And if they don't, Yukihina, as the owner of the bookstore, can just order a copy of dragon raising.
Heh heh. ]
Zoja is her name. It's a Polish and Macedonian version of Zoe, which means life in Greek.
[ Because that's clearly important trivia to tell him. ]
[Dragons aren't supposed to be real. He has... ok he actually doesn't have the best imagination but especially living here that might be for the best.]
Ch-child? And I'm not trying to rush her, I just want to be able to get her attention.
[It seems increasingly important as she makes another attempt to get into the fridge. This time he sighs and just watches. Maybe she won't actually do any harm.]
[Izumida's just about used to Hiyori's little turtle form, but he wouldn't let her climb in the fridge either.]
Just because I'm not immortal, doesn't mean I'm a child. [Sure is sulking like one, though!]
I just don't want her to get hurt! She's still so small.
[And if anything happened, Yukihina-san would undoubtedly blame Izumida. He's not about to risk that. So far Zoja's only managed to get her front claws onto the edge of the crisper drawer, but she's determined.]
[There's only room for one small scaly creature to turn into a human in this house.]
I am a person with a name.
[This feels like a losing battle, though, so he turns his attention back to the dragon... who is dragging a bag of vegetables down off the shelf. It's heavier than she is, though, and in an instant the bag and the dragon are tumbling loudly to the floor.]
[He's too pure to understand the humor of antagonism, so he'll just sulk about it a little more while wondering what he's going to put in his cucumber rolls now.]
So she's an omnivore? That'll make it easier to feed her, then. I don't have to find meat now!
[If that's really the case, then he'll leave her to work on the cucumber and work on picking everything else up.]

Either or.
[ If she set the house on fire, Yukihina could just put out the fire, anyway. ]
action; 4th; evening
What have you fed her so far?
action; 4th; evening
Meat and stuff.

action; 4th; evening
He looks between the dragon and Yukihina-san. Huh.]
That's a pretty name, Yukihina-san, but I don't think she recognizes it yet. Do you, Zoja?
[Yeah, still nothing. Of course, considering who's raising her, she could also just be ignoring Izumida.]
action; 4th; evening
He likes giving some thought into the names of his pets, nothing wrong with that. ]
It is new to her, give her some time, child.
[ But yeah, she probably ignores Izumida, aside from not knowing her name yet. ]
action; 4th; evening
Ch-child? And I'm not trying to rush her, I just want to be able to get her attention.
[It seems increasingly important as she makes another attempt to get into the fridge. This time he sighs and just watches. Maybe she won't actually do any harm.]
action; 4th; evening
You're a a child, right? She'll give it to you when she thinks you deserve it.
[ Basically, when she's hungry. ]

action; 4th; evening
I'm 140, you're not even 20. That makes you a child. [ That problem is now solved. ]
She's probably sturdier than you are.
[ But yeah, he totally would. ]
action; 4th; evening
It does not! I am a teenager! [Splits hairs thinner and thinner.]
She may be but that doesn't mean she can't get hurt.
[Back claw on the crisper drawer and she's making it up onto the bottom shelf. Nothing too dangerous on there...]
action; 4th; evening
You're a kid in comparison to me. [ Many people are. ]
I know that, she's not me.
[ Or one who had their soul stolen. ]
action; 4th; evening
Just because you've been assigned as my parent here doesn't make me your child.
You can't get hurt.
[He remember what he saw when he first got here, but he doesn't believe Yukihina-san is completely immune to getting hurt.]
action; 4th; evening
But you're a child.
[ He looks back at his book. ]
Trust me, I know that.
[ Fucking Heike. ]
action; 4th; evening
I am a person with a name.
[This feels like a losing battle, though, so he turns his attention back to the dragon... who is dragging a bag of vegetables down off the shelf. It's heavier than she is, though, and in an instant the bag and the dragon are tumbling loudly to the floor.]
Zoja!
action; 4th; evening
I don't wanna use it.
[ He looks up, and watches Zoja get back up. Sturdier than a pony, that little thing. ]
She okay or do I have to freeze your ass?
Re: action; 4th; evening
[It's not an especially hostile question. He'd like it if Yukihina-san would use his name but he's not going to demand it.
He glances from the man on the couch to the dragon, who is snapping at the plastic bag. Better the bag than him.]
She's fine. She doesn't even seem shaken.
[Though now he has to try to put everything back in...]
Re: action; 4th; evening
[ Well, he'll use it sometimes. But once he finds out that Izumida calls his abs by name, they're getting girly nicknames from him. ]
Oh, that's good.
[ Yes, have fun with that, child. ]
Re: action; 4th; evening
[Other than the way it peeves him, that is. Shows what you know, Yukihina-san, it's his pecs!
Obviously that's way cooler.]Yes, I'm very rel--hey! You can't eat that! ... Can you?
[Rest in piece, one flawlessly ripened cucumber. Here's hoping vegetables can be part of a dragon's diet.]
Re: action; 4th; evening
[ It's the part where it peeves him that's the fun part.
whatever, same shit.]I'm sure she can, no problem.
[ Reminder to self: get more vegetables. ]
Re: action; 4th; evening
So she's an omnivore? That'll make it easier to feed her, then. I don't have to find meat now!
[If that's really the case, then he'll leave her to work on the cucumber and work on picking everything else up.]
Re: action; 4th; evening
Yeah, but meat will be a necessary part of her diet.
