Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Bring Me Love is respected in his cave network for his jack-of-all trades skills and ability to think through problems in ways that others have overlooked. He's only courted one dragon ever, and they started with romantic intentions one spring, but now, as longtime friends who've spent many years living in the same arm of Branch 3F and helping each other with personal problems, they don't really think of themselves as a unit. Though Bring Me Love's community is just across the river from a human-populated town, he views them with disdain and distrust and is only polite to them out of a sense of decency. He believes that just because they're disagreeable, dumb, and other d-words doesn't mean he has to lower himself to their level. Whenever he meets a nice person, his companions might ask if he's changed his opinion, but he always says it's silly to change your mind about a sack of spoiled fruit just because you found a single olive or pear that was still fresh.
