More on dragongeeks --
Max stared at the master of dragongeeks, trying to appear confident. He suspected he was failing badly.
"Dragons are very, very sensitive to changes in your magic," the master said. "That includes natural fluctuations, and fluctuations caused by things that most kids your age wouldn't think twice at. All-nighters. Caffeine binges. Alcohol. Especially alcohol. I understand the urge, but if you drink, you will do it on Friday night, and you will stop by midnight Saturday. Noon Saturday if it's something especially weird."
Max nodded.
"And sex!" the master said suddenly, startling Max into standing to attention. "You probably won't have known this. Most kids your age don't know this. Sex alters your magical signature. Sex with someone else really alters it, and sex with yourself, well. Don't fuck around with stuff you don't understand, and try to keep it after your shift. Don't get pregnant. Don't even get someone else pregnant."
"I'm a guy!" Max yelped. "Guys don't get pregnant!"
"You'd be surprised," the master said cryptically. "Yes, I know some of the dragongeeks are in long-term relationships. That's because they've demonstrated that whatever they're doing, they're able to keep their magic under control. Don't break up. That fucks up your magic, their magic, and the magic of whoever you have ill-advised rebound sex with. I'll be checking your aura. [my second-in-command] will be checking your aura. One of the senior dragongeeks will be checking your aura. The dragon will be checking your aura. If even one of us notices funny business, you're on leave until you stabilize and we see if the dragon accepts you again. I would advise you to join the union, if you want to get paid."
"Sir," Max said, and fled as soon as it was practical.
