Because if they were dragons they could.

Draconic can't fly. Draconic doesn't even have wings!

Meh.

Anyway it is terrible and it needs to mitigate that a bit.

Anyway she should fuck off she's not a dragon.

Observe all the fucks she doesn't give. She's a herself.

But not a dragon.

It is an obvious and self-evident fact of the universe that this does not matter one little bit. Has Draconic considered seeing a therapist?

What a silly not a dragon she is.

What, not even a dragon therapist?

Sillyyyyyy.

It has no room to criticize.

Hey, it didn't barge in on her and start this conversation.

It barged in on shrens and required it.

It doesn't even want shrens to exist in the first place, they're not its fault.

It's not the shrens' fault either! It doesn't have to make the situation worse!

Everything was like this when it got here.

Except for the part where people have a magic language that hates them in their heads.

Meh.

"Draconic," she says through gritted teeth, "is obnoxious, self-obsessed, aggrandizing, and beyond my power to fix. Yet."

"...it has a personality?"

"Nnnot exactly. It has--tendencies. That could be anthropomorphized into a metaphorical personality."

"Oh."

"Obnoxious tendencies."

Shrug.
