'This is another *excellent* swooping song," says Baby Dragon www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNi..., looping in the air every time he hears 'you spin me right round'. 'I love swooping. Do you want to ride on my back so you can swoop too?' he asks the elf. 'I think I'll just watch you swoop,' says the elf.

As Pumped Up Kicks comes on the sound system, the elf can't help but wish Baby Dragon was just a little less pumped up www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ... But he's not surprised Baby Dragon is excited to be at #Hopefest. Maybe a cup of chai is called for. 'Want a drink?' he asks Baby Dragon
'Yes please'
'Yes please'

'They're singing about quantum again. I really need to know what it means. PLEEEEASE explain it.'
'Aren't you getting hungry?' asks Elf. 'It's a long time since you had your breakfast.'
'I'm hungry for knowledge'
'Yes you are,' says Elf, wearily. 'I'll buy you a book'

'Maybe we can get vegetables?' says Baby Dragon. 'I want to learn to play the carrot'
Elf likes this idea: at last, something Baby Dragon's parents might approve of. & a carrot is easier to find than a Tesla coil.
'Great idea,' he says. 'Let's see if we can find one.'

'I don't think you have space,' says Elf. He's not sure how he'd explain that one to Baby Dragon's parents... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ftp...

'I'm not sure,' says Elf. 'I think he's going to make music with them'
'That's weird!' says Baby Dragon.
'It is,' says Elf. 'But interesting, isn't it?'
'Yes,' says Baby Dragon. Can I have a magic music machine?'
