There’s nowt to worry about when you’ve got Kai,
you just have to pity the other guy.
Kai works to keep his cool in most places;
Kaya has no such time for the graces.
He won’t hurt you, even by lack of luck;
with Kaya you’d probably learn to duck.
It’s not that she’d try and ruin your day,
it’s just that things would always turn that way.
You’ll need to clean that bed later, Doc
as bare things leave a mark behind in shock.
But at least your room’s fated to remain…
Kaya’s may just need repainting again.
I would have said : “- It’s not that she’d try and ignite your day” ^_^”
Kaya really left a lasting impression on people here, it seems xD
She is the Princess of the flame war.
Enjoy Kaya in her first movie : “Reign of Fire 2 , the return of the flame” ………. with Larissa as guest star XD
Doc’s quick and eager to get to work I see! XD Maybe Kai can get a couple more words spoken once he pulls the thermometer out?
Hmmm … most thermometers I saw goes only to 42°C. Did this doctor read the report? How hot can Kai have in mounth when he’s NOT actively breathing fire? (Because when he DOES, it’s likely around two THOUSANDS.) Boiling point of ethanol is 78°C, mercury 356.7°C, galistan is safest, 1300°C.
Maybe he can xD
It’s always nice when they add that personal touch, make you feel like a human being 🙁
Oh, well. Things can only get better from here, right?
It’s definitely a personal touch. Not every doctor quickly shoves a thermometer in your mouth when you speak xD
MD: “Here, hold my pen!”
Well , i see : “- No need to be afraid” ; then DIRECT ATTACK ………… If we hear a loud scream from the other room , we’ll know Kaya has a strong bite XD
My ID card : Panther , senechal of the great anthro space empire , having been in 27863 space battles and all won ……………. Still trying to run away every time a doctor approaches with a thermometer ^_^”
Remember it : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/carrots/
That’s the same : “- I hate doctors ! They’re so smiling . They can’t be trusted”
XD
Pfff, people seem to think Kaya will eat the thermometer or something xD
Then in the next room over
*crunch crunch*
“Miss Romero, please stop eating those.”
I doubt it’s a mercury filled one, but it might be filled with alcohol. That might cause interesting reactions.
Hmm, alcohol is flammable, isn’t it? Mind you, get mercury hot enough it burns too.
You can make WATER burn if you get it hot enough (I think it’s like 2000ºF).
Well, in our modern times it’s probably an electronic one anyway. But in that case it might be better to not tell a dragon that the sensor is most likely made out of platinum.
They are for the small children.
*Kaya sitting there with a candy bowl*
xD
Not much for small talk is he? Not even an introduction, or finding out if it’s the correct patient.
Reminds me of a quote from Scrubs:
“And why do you need to do that?”
“Because the chart told me!”
Your are not Thomas?
Kai: … No!
Kai: “Why is this cherry-flavored?”
Doctor: “Oh oops! The lollipop comes at the end. HERE’s the thermometer!”
One for each end? 😉
Oh no, you didn’t, Ed xD
Kai: Nu-uh, I’m keeping the lollipop now.
xD
Out of curiosity, what kind of doctor would they have at that hospital? More specifically what speciality? Like a pediatrician or someone more into veterinary science?
I’m still asking it to myself : when sick , an anthro goes to see a doctor or a veterinarian ? ^_^”
Probably depends on what kind of sickness. However; in the world of Twin Dragons I imagine they would go first to a doctor, preferably one with a veterinarian on speed dial for consultation. Robin has said that physically the hybrids are still primarily human.
Pediatricians, since they have to deal with children, who have learned mostly on the job with assistance from veterinarian specialists when necessary. There wasn’t exactly much time to prepare for this, so this was the most practical solution.
A little enthusiastic, don’t you think? Good thing it was Kai that got this room and not Kaya, or I have a somewhat disturbingly clear mental image of that thermometer getting eaten. I can’t say why. That’s just the first Kaya reaction that popped into my mind. Regardless, I have a feeling that doctor might panic a bit at first thinking Kai has a fever. Dragon mouths are usually just a liiiiitle bit warmer than your average human mouth. Considering the twins can breathe fire, I’d expect that trait to carry over too. All of this is just speculation for the future though, or the hypothetical. Looking at what’s in front of me, the artwork is great as always Robin. I’ll admit I laughed a bit at that last panel. Kai’s expression is just so perfect. Hard to feel bad for him while laughing at what happened. Also, Kaya, I don’t think Kai being done before you is something we need to worry about. He’s the one who’s able to sit still. Anyway, I’ve prattled on long enough. Keep up the amazing work Robin. You know what I’m going to say. As always, stay awesome!
Fire can normally reach 1000°C ; what would be the temperature in a dragon mouth ? 200°c , 300°c ? A thermometer can get it ? …………. Bet we’ll see an exploding one in the next strip XD
Good point. I hadn’t even considered the melting point of those dinky little plastic thermometers. It looks electric, so I doubt it will explode. Might turn into some not-so-pleasant-tasting plastic/metal goo though. Especially considering Kai was just surprised. Euck.
People seem to really expect Kaya to eat a thermometer for some reason xD
Glad I made you laugh again. Kai was really surprised at the sudden thermometer invasion in his mouth xD Thanks Alpha ^^
🚨 missed comment alert 🚨 check last comic on the bottom sorry I missed the chance for you to read the last comment. Look like the doctor is trying to choke him😱. Has that doctor ever treated a hybrid cause it looks like he’s treating him like he more animal than human? Hybrids are humans too. Even though I expected this will happen sooner or later.
What was kai gonna say before nearly getting choked
Probably “Now what” – maybe followed by “will we do now?”
Hey Toby. Twin Dragons is updated every Monday. Gamer Dragons is irregular for now, depending on how much time I have. I usually update on Monday and check back for comments a day later and comment on them then. I read all the comments but I set myself a limit on how much I reply after the first day. This is because I need to keep to a schedule and constant checking and replying everywhere takes a lot of time.
Deedes answere your question about what Kai says pretty well ^^
The doctor has no ill intend but he’s not the most polite here at the moment :p
Hope that answered your questions ^^
Thanks I think i May rushed to conclusions. Well I was waiting for some time for something like that
There’s a doc that doesn’t want to wait around. But, I don’t think it’s a good idea to insert a thermometer into someone’s mouth at that velocity.
He’s well trained at velocity thermometer inserting. He was the best of his class xD
I think the doctor is likely a basically nice guy, just a bit short on the social graces. 😉
(…Doctor might end up learning something here, if he survives. 😉 )
‘If he survives’
I like that xD
For dragons the in-the-ear digital thermometer is more likely to get a good, stable body temperature reading. After all it is countersurvival to breath any kind of fire if you cook your own brain in the process!
Okay, seriously? The doctor could have at least informed Kai before sticking things in him! Seriously, I’ve done medical exams and this doctor’s technique is likely to get him incinerated!
It stops patients from talking a lot and “wasting time” when doctors are busy.
He could make up for it with other aspects of bedside manner.
Speaking AS a doctor, it’s usually better not to antagonize the patient.
If sinuses are similar to humans, eyes, ears and mouth connect then could dragon hybrids “breath fire” out there ears…or eyes?
(Theoretically with some effort (unlike a swamp dragons ability to modify its internal plumbing) it should be sort of possible.)
i wonder whats going through that doctors head right now the suspense is killing me
ill be patient
im sorry i was trying to post a comment but i posted a reply
Fire through the mouth and nose at the same time would be easy. The ears are connected to the back of the throat by the eustachian tubes to balance the pressure between the inside and outside of the ear, but the eardrum would prevent any fire from travelling out that way. The eyes are connected to the nose via the tear ducts, but fire from the eye sockets (in the style of Ghost Rider) would be a problem if the eye is still there. Also you have to think of pressure flows which tells us where the fire will go if it does not start burning the surrounding material.
i didnt mean to reply to your comment faust
i think the website might be acting weird
MD: “Well, so, you have ‘dragon’ on your hybrid racial type. That’s a new one, but I’m not surprised. I’ve seen reports of differential expression of caprine traits making a satyr, and there was one case study of a unicorn…why a dragon, though?”
Kai: “I can breathe fire.”
MD (skeptical): “Can you do a…controlled demonstration?”
Kai: “Sure.” *fwoosh*
MD (surprised): “I say…in evidence-based medicine, I’d call that evidence. So, dragon, then. I’d like to do a follow-up sometime on that, if you’re willing, that is. However, for safety, I’d suggest keeping that fire in check in a hospital.”
Kai: “Oh, I get it, I know my chemistry. Oxygen doesn’t burn but it makes other things burn much better, right?”
Meanwhile in the other room…
Kaya: “A demonstration? Sure!” *FOOM!*
MD: “Oh dear lord…” *races for the extinguisher*
Kaya: “Oopsie…?”
Alternative take:
Kaya sets her patient file aflame.
MD (looking at ashes): It looks like there is no more forms to be filled. I guess this means we are done with the examination for today.
———————————–
For Kai:
Kai: Additionally, I’m a dragoon.
MD:What’s that supposed to mean?
Kai: I can jump really, really high.
