Sparta rubbed his face, as if trying to wipe off frustration that had no chance of being wiped away, or, seemingly, removed at all through any method. "Are all dragons like this?" he wondered, more to himself than any kind of real question. "God help us, no wonder the whole area is in such a fucking state." Everyone spending the last five hundred years avoiding the shit out of the dragon's backyard just made so much more sense now. You couldn't even reason with the lunatics. They just did whatever the hell they wanted.
"I think by your standards," Sparta said, still rubbing his face in exhaustion. "All rich men are evil. How do you think they got to be rich? No, I guess you wouldn't know this shit. Dragons get hoards by, what, just taking stuff that they want, right? And being given other things as sacrifice so that they won't burn down villages and shit, I guess? It's the same with humans, basically, from what I've seen. The haves have because they already had. The have nots never have because there was nothing left for them to have afterwards." That didn't make any sense. He wasn't used to having to explain things to other people. "If that's your morality, you're gonna be able to get by just fine, but I don't know what rich men just have piles of gold lying around." He rubbed his chin. "Kings, maybe. Proper kings, not like the chieftains they have in the city-states; those guys have too good of an understanding of what stuff is actually valuable. I guess you could always go to Aeris. Maybe another dragon would be happy to help you out; I dunno how that shit works. God knows he has enough gold, from what I hear."
He peeked out over his hands, unsurprisingly still glaring. "For the record, I'm only telling you this because you've made it clear you have no intention of listening to anything I say or caring in the least about how I feel about the situation. I'm pretty sure you've already elected to ignore that entirely, but I just want to periodically remind you. Also, Eric is a stupid name for a dragon."
