It rocks, then the mottled shell splits open, allowing a small wet dragonet to roll out.

The brown rights himself, then looks around, seeming alone and frightened, and above all hungry. He turns around, and his claw gets caught on his wing, sending him tumbling to the ground again. The small dragonet creels, and untangles himself, standing again. This allows him to spot Jyxom. With a hungry squawk, he moves towards the boy, but trips over his long, uncontrollable tail. This dragonet seems to be quite ungainly, even klutzy. Finally he reaches Jyxom, and extends his nose to look up at him.

I am Xanth, and you impress me. Now, J'xom, I want food.

((I know they're getting shorter, but school started again and I can't do anything about it))
