More or less. Except it's one of those titles. Instead of <-30% Tastiness> she gets something like <+30% damage taken from Dragons>.

Because diplomats are also usually squishy. And too busy talking to effective defend themselves. So they either succeed and get epic results... or they fail and fail epically.

Soooo... +30% Tastiness, then? "Liked by dragons" indeed.

Huh. No question mark after "Tabitha"?

Question, will dragons be able to naturally understand what she says or will it only be Irukuku, since she is the only one smart enough, being the only Rhyme dragon seen in the series, to fully comprehend what a person said.

If the dragons only understood her in the barest sense it would be an even worse title :p

On the other side it would be amusing for her to have a full blown conversation with a dragon and people's utter confusion at the scene.

Dunno yet. Leaning towards only intelligent dragons to really understand her. Normal dragons are, well, like very smart horses or dogs.

I think it should be any dragon with the title have a slightly lower effect on normal dragons due to their intelligence, or them being more instinct based, or change the title to something like "fast talker" or "diplomat" in general.
 
Oh, the effect is pretty much <+X% chance of successful Charm Dragon>.
So it just affects all dragons then. Okay cool.

Wait!

Louise talking to dragons....


===============

Reconquista General: "Oh yeah, you and what army!"

Guiche: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT!"

*Louise grins*

Louise: *Mass Friends Summoning Spell* Come forth my comrades. Come and burn the rebels!"

The sky opens, and a thousand, thousand dragons fly through it.

And thus Louise was known as the Dragon Queen.

Before the sun could set, the Pinker Human, Ruiz, had declared it was time to return to the castle. She'd packed her things and gone on her horse. Irukuku had offered to take her, and her animal too, but the human had scolded her. Because if she took the human, they would be seen together and then it would be obvious she had been been discovered.

Sylphid really should think more before she said things. Big Sister was right. Around all these smart humans, she should stay quiet. Even the weird ones like the Pinker one. So she'd turned back into proper scales and right number of arms and followed the human from above the wind. And this time she did not lose sight of her even once!

The human, Ruiz, slowed down at the gates of the castle and looked up in her direction before entering. Irukuku supposed that meant she didn't have to spy on her anymore, right? She was back at the castle with Big Sister. It… was probably better to ask Big Sister before she did something that made Big Sister angry with her. Again.

Irukuku asked the Wind Song about her Big Sister, Small Snow Breeze Blue Human. The Wind Song gave her Big Sister's smell and Irukuku followed it. Ah, Big Sister was in her own nest. She should have thought of it and checked there first.

Urgh, today was being a very bad day for Irukuku. First she'd let lunch escape, then she'd lost sight of the Pinker Human and then she got found out, twice!

She landed on the ground under Big Sister's nest and then stretched up. Carefully not to break anything, again, Irukuku tapped on the nest's glass. Big Sister appeared at her nest's entrance, looked down and then opened up her nest. Irukuku fit her head into the nest's opening. An opening that was bigger than before Irukuku had… been careless. Human things were fragile.

Big Sister made a Song of quiet around her nest then spoke. "How did it go? Were you found out?" She ran her hand over Irukuku's nose scales.

Urk. "No. It was boring." She'd have to thank her Pinker Human… friend? For helping her get ready for this.

"What did she do?"

Irukuku thought of what she could tell Big Sister. "Well, first she went around in her horse", and Iukuku had lost her, "and went into the city." The city Big Sister had been very serious about Irukuku not going into or even near. Not that she would, even if she was curious... "I didn't follow her there."

"Good. Then what?"

"Then she was there for a long time. Then she went around in her horse again, but this time went to the human village, the one with the… the one near here?" There were so many human villages. "Then she was weird."

"Weird?" Big Sister stopped the nice movements of her hand.

Well, yes, it was kind of weird. But human did those things a lot, even Big Sister sometimes. "She did magic against trees and wind." Weird and pointless. "And she carried around heavy things."

"Heavy things?" Questioned Big Sister.

Urk. "It… looked like stones?" Irukuku wasn't going to tell the human had been carrying her around. That would make Big Sister understand she'd been found out, like Ruiz had explained.

Big Sister was quiet. Then she sighed, very quietly, like she was. "Thank you, Sylphid. You did a good job."

Usually, Irukuku was happy when Big Sister said that but… not today. Irukuku hadn't done a good job. She'd been found out. She didn't want to disappoint Big Sister or to make her mad, so she stayed quiet. Ruiz's question, the one Irukuku was supposed to found out about because of their deal, passed through her mind. She was curious too, genuinely. Why was the human important to Big Sister?

"Big Sister?" Irukuku started, carefully. "Why did you want me to spy on her? I… I'm curious."

And Big Sister was quiet for a very long time. Like she was looking at Irukuku, but not. Finally, she rested her body against Irukuku's nose, and loosely put her arms around Irukuku's head. "I'm worried."

"Worried?"

"Yes." Big Sister said, eyes closed, and Irukuku understood she wouldn't say anything else.

Because Tabitha was very worried. She was always very worried for herself, for her mother and now, she was worried about a pink-haired Tristanian. Worried about her, for her, because of her. La Vallière had changed and Tabitha didn't think it was from her own free will. And as much as Tabitha loathed to see anything like... that… happen again, to a person that Kirche was so close to…. She knew it didn't always end as well as her own story had.

And she was prepared to do whatever was necessary, if the need arose.
 
And the other Void Mages are Gamers, or at least when their power really manifest, they completely change in behavior due to it. Wonder what alternative power the other Void Mages could have that would explain a change in behavior and mad increase in strength.

Maybe something like a "Keep what you kill" power. In which you get the abilities and skills of whoever you kill. Would explained Josephs sudden competence in being a mastermind behind the scenes due to his brother's wits.

I am hoping this refers to Irukuku being found, and then revealing herself to be Sylphid...

I am hoping that this means that Tabitha's backstory has changed. Because if that is defined as ending well...
 
I am confused. Does Tabitha think the event with her mother ended well?
Well, at least her mother didn't try to kill her in a misguided attempt to protect, well, her.... At least there's the vague possibility of acure from the elven lands. At least she's still whole in body. At least... Tabitha can protect her. At least she hasn't joined her mother in her madness.

Tabitha has seen things. She's especially seen what the King likes to do when bored.

Sorry, no. :(
 
<Draconic Sweet Talker>

So what status effect would equipping Draconic Sweet Talker have I wonder?
Probably something like +10% success chance when persuading dragons? Or something similar. I seem to recall that not all title bonuses are created equal and that title was gained rather easily.

Ah right. Tabitha's backstory, of which I only remember bits of.

@minuseven, should we be prepared for this story to be a tragedy? And, when you put it like that, Tabitha is going to be one of Louise's worst enemies in trying to stop her. But if it prevents Louise from ending up like her uncle, then Tabitha will be one of the best friends Louise will ever have. And that may include killing Louise, because I think the Louise before the summoning ceremony would rather die then become anything like Tabitha's uncle.
 
I am hoping Louise kills the ancient Dragon and Wear its skin. Would be metal as fuck. Plus Sylpheed would run the hell away everytime the Pink Slayer came near her

This is really a matter of opinion. The requirement for that title is "sweet-talking your way out of being eaten, incinerated or gored by an emotional dragon". Just because in this specific situation there were factors that helped Louise, it doesn't mean that it would normally be easy to pull this off.
 
And the other Void Mages are Gamers, or at least when their power really manifest, they completely change in behavior due to it.

Well, the changes in personality from the gamer mind would improve Josephs personality (not that it can get much worse than canon ), pope McDongcopter would remain the same and Tiffa ... I don't really know.
