the other dragon hatched from a stolen egg and raised by rat survivors on the land-side apocalypse. dragon 1 falls to the ground and is mistaken for a meteor (her fire makes her glow while she falls) and dragon 2 flies out to meet her in an attempt to collect her as scrap/salvage
dragon 2 looks weird because their diet isn't ideal and they don't absorb enough magic. so dragon 1 is just like.. hey what are u lol. dragons are kind of frilly/spiny midway thru puberty and may have limited feathers for display/communication purposes. dragon 2 has much smaller ones than normal bc no nutrients
