“A hydro dragon…” Violet couldn’t help herself, she looked up again to meet Neuvillette’s eyes before she studied him quickly. The blues in his hair, the violet in his eyes… Violet could see it. After a quick study she looked down again.
“Yes. Well yes and no. Train can breathe fire but Andarna is just a youngling and can’t breathe fire yey. She will when she gets older. Can you breathe underwater?” It was one of the many questions that had popped into Violet’s head because she was curious. She couldn’t help herself. A water dragon! This was exciting.
"I see. And they are... the size of horses? Or larger?" They sound like vishaps to him At least, that's the word they use for them. Pyro attuned vishaps that will, potentially, one day, become true dragons.
"I can, yes," He says with a nod. Honestly, it seems she prefers their current conversation to whatever else they were intended them to be doing, but he's completely content with this course of events as well.
"Do all the dragons in your world breathe fire?" He asks, wondering if perhaps that specific kind of dragon has made some pact with humans. It wasn't unheard of.
“Tairn is huge.” There was a smile on Violet’s face now along with pride in her voice. “Bigger than any other dragon except for Codagh while Andarna is only a couple of feet taller than me. But she is a youngling and will grow.”
They were exchanging information and talking about dragons. That subject alone had Violet distracted from the intended purpose of the room. She still couldn’t believe that she was talking to a water dragon who was openly offering information.
“Yes. They all breathe fire. If you are a hydro dragon does that mean there are other elemental dragons where you come from?”
He's curious what 'huge' means but the likelihood that their worlds share something as specific as forms of measurement is unlikely. It sounds like Andarna is roughly the size of a small vishap though. It gives him some context at least.
"Curious that they all have an affinity for fire.
And... yes," He answers reluctantly, "There are very few beings who would be considered dragons in Teyvat. Once they were plentiful, but no longer. I know of only a few dragons aside from myself. Of those, none are fire. But yes, there are one or two dragons of other elements who yet live - geo, anemo, dendro. Much more plentiful are what we call vishaps. They are young but could one day evolve into a true dragon. They are prevalent in many elements. I believe we would call both of your dragons vishaps. Certainly, Andarna, though I'm unsure about Tairn."
