Oh yes, and he has been allocated to field work and my guy wants to tag along...? Maybe there is a sick dragon and it is finally his chance to get out of the office and onto the field? XD
Well, dragons have their own language, but can communicate in English/other native languages, mostly by writing/drawing on the ground or something.
I'd imagine the world would be set in old timey england, mostly. Victorian/steampunkish. There is a society which is dedicated to training people they see fit to become dragonologists. I think my guy works for them, raising chicks and helping with sick and injured dragons. But he wants to go out on the feild and explore, find wild dragons and study them.
Well, we should plan this out. I need to think of a character and some story elements. Because originally, he was looking after dragons and someone was there to learn from him. And they would go looking for different breeds to study and whatnot...
