Amelia Wagner 5/21 near Enprise

I don't suppose there are...veterinarians on this network? My question pertains to a creature with no earthly equivalent. I am concerned a sprained wing isn't healing correctly. Post has been edited at 2:35 PM. (Glitches.)

No earthly equivalent?

While I am no veterinarian, I am also looking for one.

Tell me what kind of creature you are caring for that requires assistance.

[smothershadow]

A dragon. Not a Komodo, not a glorified crocodile.

And it is not under my care, I am it.

[ascatic]

You are the dragon?

I see.

Well, I am a combination of cat and human. I do not know if that is as majestic, nor is this the place to make a comparison...

Tell me--- you must have done something incredible to sprain a wing. Are you at liberty to discuss what you did?

[smothershadow]

A cat? Do you have the ears of one, then, or the markings?

[Normally, Amelia would have been a bit more wary of sharing her latest life story with a stranger, but the flattery certainly helped.]

It is difficult to gauge where, precisely, the ground is when it has not yet been painted. I was attempting to highlight another structure at the time.

im not a vet but i work at the animal shelter???
and i know lots about animals
and ive had lots of different birds!!!

maybe i can help???

[smothershadow]

The wing isn't a bird's; superficially it resembles a bat's but it isn't one of those either.

It's difficult to take a picture of myself at the moment.

[They don't make selfie sticks for dragons, it's very inconvenient.]

[destiny_key]

ive taken care of bats before too!!!
not very many but still

also did you turn into a bat???

[smothershadow]

No, a dragon. Which is why I said a direct Earth equivalent is unlikely.

post tantrum sparring!

[usurpers]

That wasn’t me, was it?

[smothershadow]

Not directly, no.

I misjudged the distance between an unpainted structure and similarly unpainted ground.

The tree didn't help, however.

[usurpers]

I’m sorry.

[smothershadow]

[(Someone else's) mom is not mad. Mom is just disappointed.]

I trust you are better now?

[liberal_arts]

-...-

It's not *your* wing, is it?

[smothershadow]

It is, unfortunately.

It's rather irksome.

[liberal_arts]

It wasn't another fire sprite, was it?

-For some reason, the idea that Amelia would do anything ungraceful is so alien to him.-

[smothershadow]

No. I made an error in judgment as to how far away an unpainted area was.

[digthefuzz]

Mom!!
Are you okay??

[smothershadow]

I am fine, Kurt. It's an annoyance, nothing more.

[digthefuzz]

I hope so. Did you try putting ice on it?

[youraffection]

uve got an alien??

[smothershadow]

[Yosuke]

No, I do not.

[youraffection]

[ IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. ]

u said there was no earthly equiv!

[selfloving]

Forgive me for prying, but did you say that you're the dragon in question?

I dislike intruding on other people's comment chains, but I suppose you did post it in public, after all.

[smothershadow]

Yes, I am. There's not much point in hiding that.

[Her penthouse is Big but not 20~ ft flying lizard big.]

[selfloving]

No, I suppose that would be particularly difficult to conceal.

After all, many people who use these app say they know dragons or have been in possession of them, but I haven't seen anyone who says that they really are one. It must make navigating the city somewhat difficult.
