Well, I'll start with the bad news.
First it's Jyrras, now Kria.  What am I talking about?  Ear inflation. 

What can I say? Look for yourselves:



Kria does have the ability to alter her appearance, so there's nothing specifically wrong about such a change.  Maybe she does it because the longer, pointier ears make her look extra-evil or aggressive in situations like this.  She does seem to be on top of things here, and she's never one to shy away from a fight (just the opposite, in fact).  I wonder how many other races would ally themselves together if the dragons decided to start something?

You know, if I was that envoy, I'd be fearing what was set up for me on the other side of that door...

Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they are wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor
With a minimum of labor?
Do your ears -- hang -- hiiigh?

Don't know about individual posts, but You can add (or subtract) from another forum member's "karma".

By the way, for those of you not versed in disgusting old songs (says the guy with well deserved negative karma), these verses are adapted from an old WWI soldier's song.
The original song wasn't about ears, though.  It was about a couple of body parts in a somewhat lower elevation.

"I've got work to do you and, quite frankly, you aren't worth the cost of the glass."

Typo?

If you factor in her early depictions, the growth is even more major:

Typo? She isn't worth the cost of the glass window replacement.

Frankly, I was expecting her to straight up kill. Not toss out the window.

What was it? Kill, maim, go shopping, and now ignore. Schlock would be proud.

See, I remember that song from daycare with the long-eared dog lyrics, but only the first few lines.
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in bow?

. . . I'm guessing the original lyrics aren't sung for the same reason Colonel Bogey's March is usually only whistled?

If you really want to know, Wiki has a rather humorous history of the song here:

The original lyrics are listed as "The Soldier's Version", and the story about British General Douglas Haig under "History" is hilarious.

Okay, just...take a deep breath. We're okay. We're all okay.

Everything will be fine, as long as it doesn't happen to Matilda.

I'm sure Amber herself would comment on this if she wasn't so busy hissing and melting in a corner from seeing her old art.

[Nightmask]

Not surprised she didn't toss her out the window, Kria prefers being chaotic and unpredictable and she was getting too predictable about tossing people that annoyed her out the window (just like how on the zombie island the lamb zombie was able to get her to not chase down her long-range attackers by pointing out not chasing them was chaotic and unpredictable).  Plus like she notes it's not worth the cost in getting the glass repaired again, time lost from the inconvenience, and no value in killing an obviously expendable pawn that your opponent clearly feels it doesn't need or can easily replace.  She wants the next being associated with the dragon she kills be one that actually counts and causes it some kind of inconvenience or greater harm.

Ohh, you mean, she's trying to inflict a payday attack, along with retirement bonuses, against Hizell?

Charles da human giggles, "Yeah, it was about your knees!"

Charline de Lyon shakes her head, "He's so innocently stupid, it's almost charming."

Yeah, nevermind, I'm an idiot.

For some reason that original sentence didn't grok properly in my head when I first read it.
