Hallo, this is Iskierka. [There's that familiar red snout pushed into the screen, but she settles back on her haunches and continues.]

I have spoken of this once before, though I suppose now is as good a time as any to bring it up again. It certainly could not hurt to have two dragons and their crews running patrols, could it? A proper crew must have a captain, and lieutenants, and of course a ground crew and bellmen and topmen and runners; all that sort of thing, but it would likely be easiest to have a smaller crew here. After all, we are not fighting a war here, truly. At least not now.

The last time I spoke of this, I had a few volunteers, but many people have come and gone, so I thought I might ask again. Korra, I would be quite pleased to have you on my crew if you still have interest. If anyone else does as well, of course, military experience is quite helpful to have. If you do not have it, you are still welcomed, but we shall have to train you. Do speak to myself or Temeraire if you should like to work with either of us, if you please.

[OOC note: Since Iskierka is not likely to be able to describe all the various jobs, here are the positions a dragon crew consists of!]

Very, very few. Or else there are those that think dragons only steal princesses and flame things and terrify people; which is quite silly of them, I think. I have never seen a princess before in my life.

[She can't help but laugh at that.]

That would make stealing princesses quite difficult, wouldn't it.

Oh, most certainly! I daresay they would be frightened, anyhow.

Who knows? There might be a princess who would be excited to meet a dragon.

I suppose that might be so, but I cannot think where I would meet one.

There's not even a place in your world?

Most people are frightened of us, save for our captains. [At least in England they are.]

[Blink. Blink.]

Are you... are dragons perchance uncommon?

Oh, no, certainly not, it is just the British think we are dull, stupid beasts, who will rampage about and squash people. Temeraire has said it is very different in other places, but I do not know.

I see. [She wasn't prepared for how close to home that hit.]

Have you only seen your homeland?

No, I saw Poland and Prussia when I was very small, but we did not stay long; there was a war on.

Were you victorious?

I suppose it is not over just yet, but we did manage to toss Bonaparte out of England altogether, yes.
