It almost looks like an appendage, the way it's positioned. Such a long neck for a 90 degree angle of movement seems rather. Odd? Especially if that is a mouth.

You’ll get there. Partner told me to tell you a good ale will get you up. My partner isn’t the brightest, but that’s okay.

Yeah. So khezu are cave dwelling wyverns that are relatively amphibious and have long slender necks that end with a circular mouth, rows of teeth, etc. No claws, they suction to the ceilings of caves and the ground, and we’ve been searching the New World to see if any of them either traveled or originated here. Gross things, they are. “Creepy crawlies”, if you will.

You can tell your partner I appreciate the suggestion. I’ll probably just make some coffee though.

Huh. Interesting. No, we don’t have those here, even by a different name. To my knowledge all of our dragons and dragon-adjacent creatures are either extinct or so well-hidden they haven’t been seen in generations. 

You’re welcome, Adrien. My name is Meiko, are you fairing well this evening?

Little of both. I mostly think of Astera, which is right off the coast and mountains and jungle to either side. The breeze offsets the humidity, and the salt adds to the experience.

Hello there, another new person!

The name’s Aamon. I’ll skip the normal spiel since I’ve gone over it a few times today.

Well, certainly some of them were worshipped and I bet there are a few wyverians that do worship some of the Elders. Really, we are just mindful of their locations and what they’re doing. If they’re not hurting anything, then no reason to do anything to them.

Eorzea? I actually know that name. Or place, is it? Met a strange.. Palico, I guess? From there, think moogle it was called? This making any sense?

Oh, of course. If they’re not hurting anybody there’s no reason to take drastic action. 

Palico? You mean those strange talking cats? You’re the first person I’ve met that recognizes those. It asked me to kill some giant red Wyvern. I would think more people would know about them.

Well most of them don’t speak. And I’m not sure the ones that could understand us would talk to us? There are a couple Elders that we’ve observed be relatively peaceful or at least not engines of destruction, but they have a habit of knocking the natural order out of balance when they’re around.

That is tiring sounding. I couldn’t imagine being in that situation. Good to get the weapons destroyed at least. Where are you from, then? I’m kind of jotting down notes at this point.

Huh. Unfortunate. Well, I’m now out of advice for dealing with dragons that is not “stab them” or “investigate the church to see if they’re part of a millennia-long dragon conspiracy.” One of those pieces of advice is obvious, and one is highly specific, so I don’t think either are relevant.

Well it’s good meeting you Meredith Crowley, you got nothing to apologize for to me.

And didn’t find your region on our map, meaning you “aren’t from around here” all right. So you probably don’t have to worry about Khezu.

Likewise, Meiko. I should probably still try to wake up though, haha…

Yes, Elder Dragons. We had several instances here over the past couple years and things have finally.. settled down. And yes, I mostly focus on the various wyvern creatures here and some even back home. Elders are apart of nature just… A destructive part.

Oh my, then you are in the midst of a crisis?

Oh, Dragons and Wyverns? Now you’re talking more my language! Speaking of, have you tried asking them why they’re being so destructive? The dragons I spoke to were very forthcoming with their reservations about mankind.
