gollark: Oh, right, now to work on "my".
gollark: ```Oh look, it’s a cute baby... Comrade? It’s impossible to see much of its body through all the flames.Young Comrades are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.```
