Falconiform Wyverns are normally shy creatures. However, when approached, they often feel threatened, and the flames along their bodies leap higher. Females tend to be smaller than males, though Falconiform Wyverns are typically rather large overall. They use their size to their advantage by hunting smaller dragons. The Falconiform’s graceful, swooping dives are said to resemble birds of prey. Falconiforms are largely solitary dragons that only meet in order to breed.

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.

Every dragon has a code they are assigned as eggs and live with for the rest of their existences. This one is known as "Tabs". Tabs is timid, reticent, and unsociable. He can't read cues well and much prefers doing everything on his own. Students in the clan's sizable academy are separated by age, and there are many classes to take. Year after year, no matter which class he's in, he dreads the instructor telling everyone to work in groups.

Assume:

x is the number of students per group

y is the number of groups

z is the total number of students in the class

If the teacher says, "All right, everyone. Form groups of (x)", that day, z is always, by some sad coincidence, xy plus 1. And Tabs is always the 1. In a class of 25, the teacher will tell the students to form groups of 4, with Tabs as the remainder. Since this is a "group assignment", he then must go around soliciting membership as the extra individual that no one needs. Tabs hates school.
