Funny / A Dragon of a Different Color

Go To

  • Bob is having far too much fun with his new niece, letting her catch rats he has in a sack and teaching her to turn human years before most dragons learn. The Black Reach complains that he's treating her like a pet.
  • Bob makes a "Bob's your uncle" joke to his niece, and notes he's been waiting to make that joke for centuries. Of course, she's about a day old, so she doesn't get it.
  • After an important meeting with Raven, a car full of human tourists stops nearby. Bob cheerfully tells his niece that it's time to teach her about grand theft auto.
  • Julius is horrified when Frederick swears on his fire to serve him until the debt of F clutch is paid. Frederick saw this coming, which is why he swore on his fire rather than offering Julius a life debt.
    Julius: Anything else?
    Frederick: Yes. I've vowed to serve you and your interests, but in the brief time I've known you, you've displayed a near-suicidal level of disinterest in your own well-being. Therefore, since you are clearly a terrible judge of your own best interests, I will be ignoring any orders I feel are not in your actual service.
  • Justin is extremely annoyed that Julius is the only one who still gets an F servant, and tries to order him around a bit. Julius manages to defuse things by giving Justin food.
  • When the attack comes, Bethesda shows up in a sheer, partially see-through nightie, and Julius assumes she was woken up by the alarms. Then he realizes her hair is perfect, and wonders if this is just one of her normal dresses. It can be hard to tell with her.
  • Marci's father accuses her of "living in sin" with Julius. Marci snaps back that she was not living in sin, which in hindsight seems like a huge missed opportunity.
  • Amelia casually mentions that right before the magical drought, she was trying to seduce a death god for more information on the human afterlife, which brings up so many questions.
  • When Marci tries to defend Amelia to Shiro by saying she likes humans, Amelia backs her up by saying she's never even eaten one.
  • Julius tries to convince Chelsie to let him help. Chelsie refuses to cooperate, but Frederick backs him up. Chelsie looks at him like he's crazy.
    Chelsie: You told me last week you thought he was delusional!
    Frederick: I did. But that was last week.
  • Julius mentions Bob's name, and the Golden Emperor has no idea who he's talking about.
    Emperor: Bob?
    Frederick: He means Brohomir, Great Seer of the Heartstrikers. Bob is his family name.
    Emperor: Why would one of the three seers want to be called—You know, never mind. It's not important.
  • Raven shamelessly says that he stole all of Crow's stories because Crow wasn't doing anything with them and humans can rarely tell the difference between ravens and crows anyway.
  • Chelsie holds her daughter for the first time, after trying to get the egg to hatch for six hundred years. The little dragoness promptly bites her. This is apparently normal for newborn dragons.
  • When Chelsie discovers that Marci is alive again, she stares for a moment, then brushes past it with a tone of "sure, whatever, that isn't the weirdest thing that's happened today."
    Qilin: Who is that?
    Chelsie: Julius' significant mortal.
    Qilin: I thought she was dead.
    Chelsie: So did I.
  • Julius is a little disturbed that Chelsie is bringing her infant daughter into a god-scale spirit fight.
  • Amelia's resurrection is an awesome display of divine magic that saves Julius and allows him to reach Marci. Announcing her resurrection to her sister, on the other hand, is much more casual.
    Amelia: What? No hello?
    Chelsie: What are you doing here? You're dead!
    Amelia: So people keep telling me.
