I am half dragon and half qilin. Azhdaha - my dragon friend - the form you saw was one I carved myself for him. He is a geo elemental so he needed a body more suitable for living above ground.

[ A considering sip ]

I do not know that I prefer one form over the other. I only know that the production has granted me a sort of hybrid between the two. And as I am attempting to understand mortal life from a closer vantage - it is for the best that this is my current appearance.
