The Draconic Things I Do & Feel
I mentioned in my Awakening post that I have experiences every day that I feel are linked to my being a dragon, from feelings to habits to bonds.
The way I show affection to my husband. Most of my dragon life was spent with a sunfire elf, so I learned to show my love and affection gently. I rub on my husband like a cat, and occasionally there's lovebites (but I don't do this a lot).
The way I walk. I found while I was working retail, I would get the irresistible urge to walk on my toes, just as I did as a dragon. When I did so I would also often feel my tail swaying behind me, providing a balance.
My shivers. I had quills from my head to the tip of my tail, trailing down my spine. Often when I get a shiver it's because I feel a tingling in my spine reminiscent of when my quills would stand on end.
My wings. Every time I look up at a clear, blue sky, I can feel them spread out and prepare for takeoff.
Running water. Actually I don't know how much of this is a draconic connection and how much is just a fascination with rivers, brooks, and creeks. I also like oceans but not quite as much.
Summer. Gods I love summer. I will miss it when it's gone. I was connected deeply to the Sun, a Primal Source of Magic. Dragons in my world weren't just creatures with arcanums, they were basically manifestations of those Primal Sources. I feel my most draconic in the heat of the sun.
The food I like to eat. I love jerky, I love ribs, I love wings, I love slices of pepperoni and prosciutto! Sure as a human I do my best to eat at least a little healthier, with a varied diet, but I always find myself wanting to devour meat with no utensils.
The phantom shifts. I mentioned previously my tail, wings, and quills, but other thins have propped up in the past. Sometimes I can feel my claws jutting out of my fingers. Sometimes, when my eyes are closed, I can feel my snout and terrible maw. Once I felt my whiskers (thinking about it makes my face tickle!) My teeth sometimes feel bigger and sharper than they truly are. My head sometimes feels heavier than this body is used to.
I make several noises. Some are high-pitched, probably closer to the sounds I made as a hatchling (or perhaps I was very good at manipulating my voice), and some sound a little lower. Beeps, chirps, trilling, rumbling, and many strange calls are in my repertoire.
For now that's all I can think of. If I remember something maybe I'll make a post entirely about that.
