 Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space.
Turning to the blonde kid, Fintan nodded as he spoke. Man, the boy knew way more than Fin ever had at his age, not that the Darcy was surprised - if anything, he'd kind of just fallen into his job. "I did some training at Galloway last year, actually," he remembered fondly, before his mind drifted to Ruby and Flynn and having them up at the islands to watch the hatching. "But my main experience with eggs and hatchlings was with the Hebridean Blacks. They're mostly independent, but a squabble -" if you could ever call a fight between two dragons such a thing "- over turf injured one of the females, so she needed a lot of help with looking after her eggs. I was pretty hands on with that." And it had been ridiculously exciting, especially as it was his first big responsibility.
Ah, the girl was asking University questions. "I did study Magizoology at university," he admitted, leaving out the fact that he'd hated every minute of it, and had only really enrolled so as not to disappoint his family. "But there wasn't much of a focus on dragons, so I started working for some handlers, just doing all of the rubbish jobs, like cleaning, before realising how fascinating I found the dragons. I just kind of worked my way up, feeding them and stuff, before training to become a handler. You don't apply via the Ministry - obviously they govern the reserves and clans that deal with the dragons, but the hiring process is directly through whoever you want to work for." He paused, sipping some water from his bottle, before continuing. He did chuckle a little at her last question, and shook his head. "Nah. I mean, we did theory lessons on dragons, but never actually delt with them." Far too dangerous for a bunch of rowdy kids.
Khara's mention of his name caused Fin to turn, and he overed an agreeable nod and little chuckle as she spoke. "Yeah, that would be pretty cool, actually." They could talk about the logistics later.
