text: Certain facets of this plan are not working as well as I might like.
  
  Nickname: If I am going to keep going by "Spotty", I need to remember to have spots. Fortunately none of the other dragons have spots.
  
  Not so surprising, for spots are pretty rare. Chevethna has spots, six spots on each flank. Rankotherium has two spots on his cheeks. That's about it for dragons close to me.
  
  Actually, some of the older guests at my coming-of-age party had spots. It used to be high fashion for drakes to have a single stripe of spots from your foreshoulder to the end of your tail. Now it looks somewhere between frumpy and archaic.
  
  Inconspicuousness: We are simply not getting the degree of inattention as dragons that I got as a hoven. This is obvious. It is also not going to get fixed.
  
  Festivity: Last time I was here, Dorday was a city on the perpetual verge of a party. Not the whole city, really, but the tourist parts. This time, there aren't very many tourists, and nobody is happy to see us.
