Are you ready to hear a glad, glad story? For once, I have one! And oh, it's a tale of life and triumph and glory and setting fire to things!!

Ladd Jr. has hatched, breathing a volcanic level of red sparks! He responded well to the metaphorical - and a few times, as implied, very literal - fiery paternal spirit that Shinra and I offered him! And now he is strong and aggressive and ENDLESSLY, TIRELESSLY, RELENTLESSLY BITEY and I could not be more proud.
