It is a shame. Though, with all the technology coming in from the dreams, I would not be surprised if that soon became a reality.
I have to admit, of all the dreams I've heard of on this network, I would not trade my own for any of them. Temeraire is a dragon, yes. China was not pleased that Temeraire came to us after we captured the French ship that had his egg aboard, and were even less pleased to discover that we had him in combat. I'm sad to say that it was one of the Prince's of China, who thought that if I were merely out of the picture Temeraire would return to China with no qualms.
