You wait for the usual verbal abuse.
“…This is FAR more fascinating,” she says.
“Wait,” you say, “what?”
“Think about it!” she exclaims. “Your phenotype is… Draconic! The fur is an aberration, the body imperfect, the mind obviously somewhat polluted by mammalian thoughts and instincts…”
You grimace inwardly. THERE she is, your childhood tormenter.
“…But all these years, I genuinely thought you Dragonborn! A poorly-constructed one, but a TRUE Dragonborn!”
You meet her eyes, surprised to hear the admission. She shows no remorse, nor disgust, just… Excitement. What she says next shocks you even more.
“Fleshweaving can make a being like you, a SUPERIOR being transcendent of its component parts, out of… Genetic GARBAGE. You are proof-of-concept for my own theories—that the spirit and the will have nearly as much effect in how a being develops as the bloodline! You think you are a Dragonborn, and so you ARE a Dragonborn!”
“…I am?” you ask. It wasn’t necessarily in doubt, but you hardly expected THIS female, of all Reptilians, to agree.
She nods eagerly, eyeing you like you were a living God... Or perhaps an especially-impressive monster.
“Why do you think the Chalain kept such a secret?” you ask again. “What did he intend?”
“Perhaps Father wishes to preserve the traditional hierarchy?” she suggests, clearly uncertain herself. “If Reptilians of lesser stripe realized that they could be everything you are… Or I am… Or HE is… With a few sessions with a suitably-skilled Fleshweaver… Well, why deny ANYONE access to the breeding pits? Why afford ANY caste special privilege?”
You mull over this notion yourself. It seems… Heretical. Fundamentally WRONG.
“Go,” the Novice Fleshweaver commands (how dare she!), waving you away (outrage!). “I have much to thin about.”
“Fine,” you say, standing. “I have OTHER studies to attend to, anyway.”
DC 18, because: you aren't a Serpent Priest; you have no teacher in Divination; you are sexually-frustrated and emotionally-compromised
