[voice/written/action if y'all are on board]

[With all the commotion of Konoha-nin showing up and then disgusting mind-controlling candy showing up directly after them, Sasuke has nearly forgotten about the other encounter he had on Empieza the day he met his former teammates -- but there's finally been a lull, and he's perched as high in the rigging as he can go without the journal blowing out of his hands when he remembers.]

Has anyone seen this?

[Believe it or not, he has actually put effort into this drawing, but a dragon is not a battle diagram.]

It was looking for a skinny kid with brown hair.

We have giant spiders. And probably other giant things, I guess. ...And just giants.

Ah, well who knows if he's here or not, right? The dragon might be out of luck.

... just giants? You mean giant people?

[He's about to mention that the kid seems to have been found after all, but he ends up distracted by the thought: are they going to get giant humans next, after dragons? This particular dragon seems closely tied to a human, and more intelligent than an oversized spider or centipede, but if they do start getting the fauna of their home worlds ...]

Yes? You know, about twenty feet tall or thereabouts.

... we don't have those.

[He pauses, then amends it with:] Well, sometimes. But only deliberately. Are your giants just larger versions of humans?

To an extent. Though they're less intelligent, much stronger, and incredibly violent.

... are they some kind of different species? [As jovial as the Akimichi might be, they can't be described as anything Draco has listed.]

Well, yes. They can have relations with humans, though. The groundskeeper at my school is a half-giant.

[It takes just a second, and then Sasuke is forcibly reminded of some of the weirder mutations Orochimaru had tried to engender in his test subjects -- the man had never bred them as far as Sasuke knew, but still ...]

... I assume there were benefits to it.

[lol Draco is not really the person to ask about whether Hagrid being a half-giant is...beneficial.]

Not particularly. He's overly large and an oaf and likes to introduce young children to extremely dangerous beasts that they have no business being around.

It was probably meant to breed strength or something. [It wouldn't be the dumbest thing done to create or preserve a bloodline by far.]

...I doubt it. I'm not sure there was any specific purpose to it at all. It's all-around awkward, really, if you try to work out the hows and whys of it.

[Now he's thinking about hows and whys of giant breeding with permanently large giants, and he doesn't want to. Ugh, if only there were a way to un-imagine something -- the sentiment is obvious in his voice:]

Specifics of breeding for bloodline are better left to the people planning it.
