*nod* yes yes, exactly. He doesn't care. I don't like ignorance but I can understand it under many, many circumstances. (We don't all hang on Tumblr after all :P :D ) But the fact that he handwaves it... idk. He really needs us to sit him down and explain facts of life.
Hah, I know, it's ok :)

I think, losing his dragon might have made him care, even if he didn't before. Maybe that could even work in the story? idk what kind of person he'd have to be for his dragon to chose him, but, maybe it could work?
