I had a weird-ass dream that ended up with Elendil holding two baby dragon pups that looked like Toothless and acted like affectionate kittens, and his face was a mixture of "ye gods, what have I done to deserve this" and "but *babies!*, and y'all should know of this. Do I remember the context? No. I just remember the dragon kittens and Elendil's delightfully beleaguered expression.

On I go, to wonder and to learning

Name the stars and know their dark returning

I'm calling, to know the world's true yearning

The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown...

{Duncan Sheik, Spring Awakening}
