"Dragon!"
"... PLEASE TELL ME you're joking!"
"Nope! I want dragon!"
"... You do realize dragons are magical creatures right? There's magic inherent in their very being! It might have side effect! Plus, western dragons wouldn't want the competition, and eastern-dragons wouldn't want their good reputation ruin by a part-timer. For all I know, Tiamat or Bahamut might telepathically hack your brain to make you act like a 'proper' dragon!"
"... 'Might' meaning you don't know."
"You're right. I don't know. That's the problem. Plus, how are you even going to GET a dragon skin? Ask one politely?"
"... Heh. Dragons actually sell their moltings online to cosplayers, costume shops, custom handbags, movie studios, you get the idea. Eastern dragons do it for charity of course."
"And you think you can actually AFFORD one?!"
"Hey, if they're a young dragon, and have a lot of molts to go around, and are just looking to make some quick cash to build up their horde, I think I can squeeze together the money."
"I guess a young dragon would be at least a much saner choice. You changing into something the size of a bus would be bad enough. Just so you know, doing the ritual isn't something I can do on an egg-timer. It has to be prepared, I need to be prepared, and YOU have to be prepared. And there is NO undo button, this second skin will become a PART OF YOU for the rest of your days."
"If you're hoping to scare me out of this, it ain't gonna happen."
"So much for that hope. So are you hoping to get your sweaty little hands on a eastern or western dragon skin?"
