"I am not cursed!" Drake protested weakly, though even his protest lacked conviction.
Kelpie tilted his head, water droplets falling from his hair. "Did you eat something weird? Like weird weird? Not normal weird but extra weird?"
Drake squinted, trying to remember. "I eat everything. Everything is normal to me."
"That is not helpful," Felix muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Luna leaned closer and narrowed her golden-brown eyes at him with intense scrutiny. "Maybe you are faking for attention. Would not be the first time."
Drake looked deeply offended, his tail twitching slightly despite his exhaustion. "I do not fake weakness. That damages reputation. Reputation is important for a dragon."
Lucien crouched slightly, his expression serious but not alarmed. His dark eyes studied Drake carefully. "Did this happen before? Any previous episodes of sudden energy loss?"
Drake paused, thinking. "...No. First time. New experience. Zero out of ten, do not recommend."
