me, a furry:
Yeah! What was wrong with the one on the left? They’re both quite handsome.
I think people just don’t like us or are afraid of us for some reason 😔 (maybe it’s the propaganda).
It’s too bad really, many of us dergs are quite nice when you get to know us, sure some can be a bit curmudgeonly, but still give them a chance, and be patient and kind with them, and if they still don’t want you around, let them be.
I have multiple interpretations for this. The first one is that the bard literally does see the dragon as different than anyone else.
The second one which I feel seems more accurate is that the Bard doesn’t see the dragon as having any different physical appearance than the others but the second image is representative of them recognizing the derg as an individual with thoughts, feelings, and emotions, while the other members of the party either aren’t able to, or (little bit cynical take here) they do and just don’t care about his feelings and emotions, if that’s the case you can’t really blame him for being ready to fight.
