gollark: I just do```javascriptconst days = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*in: ([0-9]+) day/, 0));const hours = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*and ([0-9]+) hour/, 0));```now.

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless.

At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```
