Tylophoron

From Nuishe's journal

Another dragon with something to prove, Tylo "makes up" for being a particularly small Ridgeback by having the loudest voice. Like Cyathus, he tends to tell epic tales, but while the red man gives factual yet entertaining accounts of his actual experiences, this one is mostly hot air. In fact, I'm surprised his nasal horn is as short as it is--shouldn't it have grown from fibbing so much?

I digress. Even if he isn't entirely truthful, he is as good a warrior as this clan could ever hope to have, and I must respect that. If the Blight is ever truly in danger, it will be over Tylophoron's dead body, and…you know, I'm starting to think he doesn't have very many positive traits.

While he appears mostly indifferent about what his clanmates think of him, he does seem to be interested in Agrogaster's attention, as he tends to speak and strut with even more bravado whenever he is nearby. I'm not sure why - if anything, I'd expect him to want to impress the "Captain of the Guard" Calocera rather than a gentle pacifist like Agrogaster. Perhaps he seeks a place in a larger Ridgeback's good books, or perhaps it is something else entirely. I am afraid I do not know him well enough to be entirely certain of his motives, and I do not plan to change that anytime soon.

Hertella was griping the other day because Tylophoron kept skulking into the hoard and borrowing things, leaving the hoard in disarray as he searched for his desired loot. At the same time, she was confused, because the items he stole weren't the kind of things dragons normally go looking for.

Specifically, they were flowers. And some small trinkets and decorative fabric to arrange them with.

To create a bouquet.

To give to Agrogaster.

Pluck my feathers and call me a lizard. They're dating.

Magnaporthe was right again.
