[It's fine he'll keep being that Annoying Voice in the Back of Istredd's Head when it comes to that potential.
And hey!
If it ever becomes true!
It won't be a surprise because Lucifer's been Annoying About It.] I brought back the materials for the cure but I wasn't involved with its construction. How did it operate?
[ Istredd will ignore that voice as long as he has to. It's a good thing he has it, because he can be very mule-headed and focused on what he wants to think, so if it does happen he'll grumble but be unsurprised. But he needs the Singularity for now. It gives him a purpose, something to thrive toward, and obsess around. An illusion of being able to control or understand something in this world.
Lucifer being right would be unfortunate on a few levels, and his gloating over it annoying, but if he's right, he's right. ]
Our presence helped bring those ingredients back to life and available. From there it was understanding dragon physiology and what was actually missing from them. I don't know that I trust it as a permanent stopgap. It may be inevitable.
[ A dire way of looking at it, but a logical one. They've been fading away as a species for over a thousand years. The hatchlings might make it but they won't be as hearty. That's why continuing a study of it might help. ]
[He got a flute from Aster (and something else way more valuable) but that's an odd little treasure and something that is weirdly just his, well before the whole upcoming Wintertide........ everything. It was a gift and it was His and it is still something that was just his.] It might be something, anyway.
[He thinks their fall at this point is what is actually inevitable. Anything they do really feels like it is just prolonging things but...
Maybe.
Maybe if they can just extend the life of the Nether for their own benefit...]
I think ... we should try. I'll see what Yenna and I can glean from the cure, maybe we can come up with something that's a stopgap. We might have to consult other people who were there with us, hard to say. But I really hate the idea of watching a species die out.
[ And if he and Lucifer do end up living here a long time, if they're lucky, they'll have to witness it in person. He doubts it would take more than another century or so, if the decline continues. This was a stopgap. He doesn't have a lot of faith. Some things are inevitable but they don't have to be. ]
I liked them. Probably the most of the cultures we met here so far.
[ The Fey were interesting, for certain, and probably would provide the most complete protection from the outside world if need be. But they weren't very trustworthy, it seemed a little bit like a game. The Lunae have done nothing wrong, but their conflict with Ikorr isn't great. He liked the Draconae. Simple, honestly. ]
A lot of people with different specializations were involved with all that. Make sure you're checking with people from other worlds, not just your own. [Lucifer's 2-cent special.]
It'd be boring to move in and all our neighbors were dead. [A consideration for the future comes with a morbid twist.
Eh.
Better than nothing.] I'm going to go loom over Urianger's class. [Perch in the window at the time Urianger just happens to be teaching.] Enjoy your scrap paper.

Thank you for this. Have fun, don't make him nervous.
