Their long, pink tongue flicks out to gather up the die before they proceed to shake their head as if trying to ward off an annoyingly adamant fly. The wooden cube clatters against their fangs, an increasingly frenzied crescendo. You try to smile and mentally cheer them on. You wished to send only that, yet so much spills through: the muddy, dark currents of your turmoil, sweeping over your friend in a flood of emotions not their own.
$dragon_name chokes. They cough, sputter and retch, back arching as they struggle with the die stuck in their throat. You move forward at the same time that the red-and-orange dragon does; while you're pleading with them to open their jaws so you can get your hand inside, the other dragon is urging them to get on their side, wild eyes already searching for the soft spot on their belly to press. Before heeding any of the advice, with a final, wretched wet gag, $dragon_name expels the treacherous die. It skips and rolls to a halt in the grass, slick with saliva.
