Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Flushed Romance is a very sweet dragon, doting on those who are both his mates and those who aren't. He might sometimes seem like he's hitting on them and trying to get them to mate with him, but he's really not. Flushed Romance is just sweet and special like that in his own way.

He calls the special way he romances other dragons flushed romance, and that when he loves them, he's "pitying" them. He'll say things like "I pity you so much" and it'll make him seem like a huge jerk, but really, he's just saying that he loves them.

He's just really odd that way. Nobody really knows what's going on in his head, using terms like "flushed" and "pity." Just to add another element to the mix, he'll call his mate his "matesprit." A couple, instead of being in love, are in a "matespritship."

It's all extremely confusing to both adult dragons and hatchlings, but Flushed Romance doesn't mind. He just slowly explains over and over again. They don't really know if he gets annoyed.
