"More".

Are you more referencing the massage of the 'v' vs 'f' or more lore stuff ?
eg a semicolon after the first the.
Us Dragons are the; 'live at a party!' (kind.)

As for Dragons being life itself as Tiamat or somesuch, life craving
solitude then perhaps means the cyclic nature of existance;
eg; breathe in, rest, breathe out, rest.

Heh. The mediumistic massage.

What draws me up short is the correlation between "dragon" imagery and the
"modern life is rubbish" sentiment flickering around the margins of this
thread. It's a chord I haven't heard in awhile and it feeds into the idea
of a "double dip recession."

Naturally the dragon exhales all the time. It's us who perceive it as
"recession" if not fire.

That is disputed by some german chemist that went there and got imprisoned
for publishing scientific results.

I love modern life.

Then again, i do indeed kinda found it a nice challenge to adopt a viewpoint
of 'modern life is rubbish'.
