This hatchling appears to be... dead?

Perhaps not. It seems to be active during the night.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

tINAE has a crush on Itsy Bity Vampire, and though he tries to build up the courage to tell her, he just can't manage it. It doesn't help that he is almost as shy as she is, so he tends to run when he sees her. He haunts the same area, but because his dark scales blend more easily into the night, no-one knows he is there. When he patters across a roof, the assumption is that it is her making the noise. He really likes moths, because they don't seem to be afraid even when a Vampire like himself is towering over their delicate wings.
