#there's so much sfsklf this is the basic p much

[garnetdawn]

Ok! Real question after asking a joke one earlier. BUT, how does the whole clipped wing situation affect Jess mentality. Basically, is there any real social stigma tied to it for him? Any sense of longing/jealousy for what he lost, or is it largely something that doesn’t bother him or something he moved on from?

Losing his wings and fire at a young age was devastating. For him it's where his life ended. It's where he died. Now he lives in a limbo of his own failure. It does gets better, he does find acceptance, but he still longs for flying again. It's what hits him emotionally the most. And being a wingless, lone young dragon in a world where they are so rare (believed to be extinct) and powerful brought a lot of unwanted attention, too. A dragon without their main weapons was a much easier target in this hostile place he was thrown at. It's a reason why he is so violent and tough on a surface level, he tries so hard to mantain his image as a highly dangerous assassin. It was a way for him to survive, but also a way for him to have some of that powerful presence of a dragon. Being feared, hated, acknowledged and talked about.
