Tourmaline woke up much later, when her new family had gotten their own rest. Even Pyrite had woken up earlier than she had. She blinked, confused. Her mommy was close, comforting and gentle. She had fed her raw meat - venison. It had been raw, warmed only by Pyrona's saliva. Then it had been bread mixed with milk. It was good. Yet it added only to the turmoil within her mind. The venison reminded her of other meals. But how could she have had meals when she had hatched from an egg and gotten her first meal precisely? How could she recall others? And not just meals. Banquets, in fact. With not only venison but fowl, sweetmeats, delicacies. Mountains of this. With wild boar and other hunted animals. Suckling pigs, especially. Yes. Yes, THAT had been her favorite! Why did she have near peasant food in her belly instead! She wanted finery! Fine delicacies! She squirmed and chirped, asking for more food. Hopefully she'd get actual roasted piglet. Or duck. Alas, only more bread soaked in milk greeted her palate. She sighed inwardly. Looked like she would have to be content with that. But it was still disappointing. What was next, vegetables or soup? Tourmaline them wondered, as she rested once again, why she recalled more lavish food. Her sister gobbled up the same meals and was delighted of these. But she herself felt... wrong. And thinking longingly about sugary treats and suckling pigs served on a platter. she recalled her hands handling the food. Hands that were noyt claws and that looked nothing like her own now. She than remembered. She had been a prince! A human prince! Her name had been Jasper! She had been... male. She took a glance at her nether regions. Well, she was female for sure. No scrotum or penis here. Simply a slit that wopuld carry eggs and babies one day. And see a penis - a dragon penis - inserted there at some point too. Jasper was horrified at the notion but Tourmaline already felt elated at the idea to have one day darling little babies of her own. One day, when she'd be as beautiful as her mother. Mother that licked her with all the love and care in the world. That thought that was protected and loved reassured the baby dragonness so much that she fell asleep yet again. The princely part of her mind fell asleep as well. Perhaps only temporarily. But the care and sweet family life Tourmaline received made it hard to regret anything about her human life. After all, their would be more fine food and dishes later in the future.
