1st cup of tea and one very confused firbolg

[It's too bad no one can see Caduceus' expression because it is pure comedy gold. And possibly panic but he tries to write everything out as best as he can to make sure all the details are there. Surely someone has the answer.]

So about these eggs. I decided to take two from the temple to turn them, walk them around, try to be nice. I have a little cart and wove flowers in it so the eggs can appreciate nature.

I had this very intense dream last night about flying and chasing someone and I woke up and the two eggs are now five eggs.

How exactly do these things happen? Do I have very special eggs that make more by themselves?

[Maybe that's how dragon eggs work? He has no damn clue and he's scratching his head over this one.]

IT COULD BE THAT YOU WERE JUST ABLE TO PRODUCE THE EGGS THROUGH MAGIC RATHER THAN.

WELL.

THE MORE... INTIMATE WAY. THE DREAM COULD BE A METAPHOR!!!

BUT I'D HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH... NYEH HEH HEH! IT'S LIKE A PUZZLE. SO MANY SCATTERED PIECES, EACH ONLY GIVING A SMALL PIECE OF THE BIG PICTURE!

Oh so the dream is the reason there's more eggs? Hunh. That never occurred to me.

I just thought the eggs I had were lonely and wanted some more friends.

IT'S JUST A HYPOTHESIS! WE'D HAVE TO GATHER MORE INFORMATION TO BE SURE. PERHAPS SEE IF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR DREAMS!!!

IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE EGGS REPRODUCED BY BUDDING. SOMEHOW.

Really. I didn't think eggs could do that, but I don't know everything there is to know about nature. And they are dragon eggs, so maybe they are mysterious like that.

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

I WISH I COULD GET A BETTER READ ON THIS POTION'S COMPOSITION AND EFFECTS. EVERYTHING'S SO DISTINCT, AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF IT'S DUE TO THE MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT SPECIES AND OUR BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES REACTING IN UNIQUE WAYS OR IF IT'S SIMPLY LUCK OF THE DRAW.

I MAY HAVE TO SPEAK TO THE DRAGON TO SEE IF HE CAN SHED MORE LIGHT ON ITS SECRETS! AND MAYBE EXPLAIN YOUR EGG-SHAPED PREDICAMENT.

That would be more than helpful. This potion probably affects me differently than it would for you so that does make sense.

Thank you for clearing that up, Papyrus.

IT DOES. ...UNLESS OTHER PEOPLE SPONTANEOUSLY SPROUTED SQUISHY TISSUES. BUT MOST OF YOU HAVE SKIN.

AND FLESH.

SO I THINK YOU ARE ALL EXEMPT FROM THAT BIZARRE EXPERIENCE.
