How does one meet the needs of a living child?
Do they require a place to sleep?
Things to eat?
What else should be given to them?
Thank you for any assistance given in the responses.

They are small, with white scales that seem to shine when the light touches them. They have a crown of horns atop their head that remind are reminiscent of the Wyrm of Hallownest, and sport sharp claws that they are indiscriminate about using when scaling my shell.

Scales and claws... That doesn't sound very child-like.

[ There's a slight pause before she sends another message because also: ]

You have a shell?

Yes, I do.
Why are claws and scales not indicative of a child?
Do these 'dragons' not grow them until their adult phase, and merely grow larger from there on?

...So the child is a dragon child? That makes a lot more sense now.

...Maybe specify that next time. I'm not sure a dragon will appreciate water slides.

I'm not exactly an expert... but I'm pretty sure it's okay for a dragon to have scales and claws at any age.

I apologise for the misinformation.
Thank you for helping me.

There's no need to apologise, I shouldn't have assumed they were human in the first place.

...I shouldn't assume that you're human either, if you have a shell. What's your name?

It is all right; humans are the vast majority of those of us who were brought here.
I am the Hollow Knight.

That's an interesting name.

[ Well, to her and her human-ness, it sounds more like a title rather than a name if she's honest but who knows how things work where this stranger is from.

No wonder this... whatever they are, didn't know what streaking was. ]

Please to meet you, Hollow Knight.

Thank you.
It is good to meet you too.
What may I call you?

My name is Tsukuyo.

Maybe you could tell me more about your home, "Hallownest", sometime. I'd like to hear more about it... Besides the fact that you don't often see clothes there.

Of course, Tsukuyo.
My Father shaped Hallownest so that its people could have their own minds.
It would be a pleasure to describe its beauty to you some day, when I am not caring for a young dragon.
My sibling, the Knight, and our friend Grimm may be able to tell you more, if you are so inclined.
Otherwise, my inbox is open for queries.

[ So... very, very strange sounding... But she genuinely would like to hear more sometime. This... being is definitely the most different she's encountered yet - and that's without even seeing what it looks like. ]

So there's more of you here then?... It's good that you're not alone. It must be strange for you being surrounded by mostly humans like this.

I understand that you're preoccupied right now, good luck with the dragon. I'm sure you'll be fine, you seem to really want to do a good job taking care of them.

Thank you.
I will do my best.
Please have a good day.

[ Why do they have better manners than the humans she knows from home?? ]

You too.
