[Welp, Akihiko's chao didn't listen. Akihiko sees no other option. He approaches and, as carefully as possible, he grabs his little watery soul creature, putting him on the other bunk]
...now what am I going to do with you.
[This dragon seems much larger and older than the other one Akihiko met today. Doesn't seem aggressive, though. How to explain this to Ali once he arrives? Hmmmm...
Well, for now, may as well get it comfortable, because a comfortable dragon probably is less likely to wreak havoc on his roommate's bed. Akihiko tosses his blanket on the dragon, like he's trying to get it comfortable against the cold]
[While Akihiko tosses his blanket over the dragon, he might notice a second, red chao laying against the dragon napping. It was partially hidden before because it was between the dragon and the wall.
The dragon also sleepily raises a clawed limb and signs "thank you" before curling back up under the blanket.]
[That sure was a series of movements Akihiko isn't sure how to interpret. The sight of the red chao, against the dragon...it makes Akihiko have a sudden thought]
...no way...
[This...can't be Ali, right? Ali did mention raising a dragon, and Akihiko hadn't questioned where someone might get a dragon egg, but if Ali is a dragon too, then maybe it's not so much of a mystery. Was Ali talking about his own offspring, then...?
Well, maybe he's jumping to conclusions! So Akihiko decides to stick around until the dragon wakes up, or until Ali arrives. Whichever happens first, he thinks. Time to sit down and browse the Chipper until this dragon wakes up]
[Well, Ali will be arriving soon, but in an unusual fashion. The dragon curls up under the blanket, covering itself entirely. Then, not long after, a very confused and very human Ali crawls out from under the blanket.]
How did a dragon end up working a human job in the first place...?
[Why? IT's not like Akihiko knows much about dragons, but somehow the thought one went to a city to get a job feels like it'd have a whole story behind it]

...did I fall asleep?

[Akihiko had said all that without looking up from his phone, trying not to act like this is a huge deal. Then he glances up at Ali]
Today heaven is full of dragons.

[WELP. It was bound to get out eventually.]
Yes, that is my other form. Though I can't change willingly right now, so I guess the change was because of the effect.
[Going back a few centuries to when he was a dragon all the time!]

[Akihiko trails off. True, he did just think maybe Ali was a dragon, but hearing the confirmation makes it so real now]
no subject
[Just. Clarifying that now.]
I live in a big city and work a human job, so it's beneficial for me to take a human form. It also helps me go unnoticed.
