My favourite thing about this story is the characterisation of each part of the dragon. Beh the leader and change-maker, Jo the practical problem-solver, Pi the mystic adept and, well, Ray, whom I'm not sure was ''totally'' in-character during the big moment but whose inclusion is very, very helpful when keeping the beautiful, flowing stream-of-consciousness(es) pinned to human reality. A good tail makes for a good tale, I always say (I do not). That said, I think I can tell why Behjopiray might have been easier to write than other characters; the story seems like it could very easily have become opaque to all those outwith the mind of the writer, but it's kept clear enough for the audience that I could always tell what was happening moment-to-moment.
That's a fine line to tread, and with four left feet as well!

My favourite thing about this story is the characterisation of each part of the dragon. Beh the leader and change-maker, Jo the practical problem-solver, Pi the mystic adept and, well, Ray, whom I'm not sure was totally in-character during the big moment but whose inclusion is very, very helpful when keeping the beautiful, flowing stream-of-consciousness(es) pinned to human reality. A good tail makes for a good tale, I always say (I do not). That said, I think I can tell why Behjopiray might have been easier to write than other characters; the story seems like it could very easily have become opaque to all those outwith the mind of the writer, but it's kept clear enough for the audience that I could always tell what was happening moment-to-moment.
