Zoology and Mythology

Some friendly bickering within the Rikkai team. Drama, I-2

They were all getting off the bus, stretching and exchanging dinner plans, when Masaharu heard Yanagi ask Kirihara, softly, "So which are you going to be, Akaya? A tiger cub, or the boy who swallowed a dragon pearl?"

*laughs awkwardly* Thank you for pointing out that you had to research the difference between Chinese and Japanese mythology. I got so caught up in the whole legends thing I completely forgot about the difference in, um, nationalities.

*nodnod* I hadn't realized how different it was until I went looking, either. It made sense to me that, since the legends came from China, they would be quite similar. And they are. Just... there's a different emphasis, in character and location.

Admittedly, I was entertained that absolutely everybody insists their dragons were the first dragons. *wry*

Naturally...OUR DRAGONS ARE THE FIRST DRAGONS!

XDD

Or at least Asian Dragons were before Western Dragons. *sniffs haughtily*
