To say I've been waiting for the big kobold dragon for a long time would be an understatement. I have notes:
- Have you ever thought about writing Lyric as asexual outright? It'd explain a lot about them, and it's a classic savant archetype. Adding dragon hormones would complicate things, of course.
- Tying boobs/balls to gender identity is clever. I actually think it's a good idea to hint at this early. Like when you discuss "futadom" with her/him,
- Seriously, no notes on the sexified variation of the feeding scene. How long do we have to wait before the King/Queen starts feeding us treats, perhaps of the alchemical kind?
- Everyone's focused on the stuff after, but don't think I didn't notice that jab there. Not judging, worth a chuckle. Has Arona even met with any kitsune before Kiyoko?
1. What we have here is what the roleplayers of old would call "alignment differences". I wouldn't expect them to reconcile, so much as trust the PC's leadership and agree to disagree.
2. I'd expect how Arona views the PC, to dom or sub, to be a factor as well.
3. I understand why you don't want this to end in sex, this should be taken seriously, but it's entirely in character for both Arona to make a pass when Lyric settles down, as much as Lyric would recoil at the thought (out of offense, if nothing else). Domination through sex has been largely normalized within orc culture, if not the setting as a whole. It's not like Orcs don't understand the concept of consent, just ask Hretha. It's that they assume everyone, themselves included, is a low-key masochist.
(For some reason, these two remind me of Amily vs Marble back in CoC1. Crazy times.)
4. Given the setting is a post-Roman Empire pastiche, it helps to do research on the actual Roman Empire. Failing that, crib from media about the Roman Empire. I'm reminded of The Forgotten City:

Alchemy makes it fairly trivial to make a lot of adjustments to a person’s body, whether it’s anything from changing their hair color to doing something as wild as having a person grow new sexual body parts.
"Like... breasts?", the kobold wonders. [lyric.mf|"I can't really say I'd see myself having a pair, you know?" He raises his arms to strike a strongman pose, as if to show his pride as well as his point.|"It would be nice have a bust as big as the queen's."

That's not what you meant. (...)

Okay, here's my take. Things to keep in mind:
1. What we have here is what the roleplayers of old would call "alignment differences". I wouldn't expect them to reconcile, so much as trust the PC's leadership and agree to disagree.
2. I'd expect how Arona views the PC, to dom or sub, to be a factor as well.

I wouldn't expect Pure Champs to necessarily buy such a reductive picture about slavery, but treat slaves as best as they can. I assume Tainted Champs to admit they just like the sex.
Unlikely, unless you recruit her before you go into the northern forest and meet the three Kitsune scouts trying to get back home. Or have her in the party when exploring the land north of the Wayfort or entering the Kitsune Den.
