[ Malcolm has a concerned look on his face when the video feed clicks on. ]

Uhh... So I discovered this in my bird's cage this morning.

[ The camera flips around to show a yellow and green parakeet in a cage. The bird chirps at the camera before Malcolm focuses on the egg next to her. Considering it's the size of Sunshine's entire body, there's no way it came out of her. ]

This is a dragon egg, right? How did it get in there?

[ He turns the camera back on himself and raises an eyebrow. ]

It keeps glowing red and emitting this low hum sound. Pretty sure I can't keep it. If I bring it outside though, is a dragon going to attack me for carrying an egg?

[ The giant beasts seem pretty territorial, especially when it comes to their young. He's got no intention of taking one on. ]

If you can't tell, I'm pretty out of my element here.

[ Malcolm blinks at the guy for a moment. ]

I think I'll pass on a dragon omelette.

[rubberpirate]

But it would be so tasty!!!

[prodigalmess]

You ever eaten a dragon egg before?

[rubberpirate]

Can't remember, but it must be super tasty!

[prodigalmess]

[ How does that even make sense? ]

Still gonna pass. I'll probably try to move it outside for one of the dragons to adopt.

[rubberpirate]

awwww, ok.

[He is pretty sad, he kinda wants dragon egg now!]

Good luck, don't get eaten!

[prodigalmess]

Thanks...?

You might find a restaurant that makes dragon eggs?

[ Is that helpful? He doesn't really know. ]

[rubberpirate]

I haven't yet, but thanks, I'll keep looking!

Maybe with all these eggs it'll be easier to find!

[prodigalmess]

Maybe so. I'm not sure how many extra eggs there are out there that aren't being guarded by dragons.

[rubberpirate]

I can go find some!

[Small silence.]

Do you know how to cook eggs?

[prodigalmess]

Yes. There are a couple of different ways, depending on how you want them.

[rubberpirate]

Edible?

[what other way you'd want eggs?]

[prodigalmess]

I mean, you can scramble them, hard-boil them...

[rubberpirate]

Oh! I want one of each kind then!

[prodigalmess]

If you go hunting for dragon eggs, just be careful. Apparently the adult dragons are very territorial of them.

[ For obvious reasons. ]

[rubberpirate]

I could eat a whole dragon, so that's not too much trouble.
