Seeking
He's a family guardian dragon, none of that 'lurks ominously in a cave over a hoard'; more along the lines of protector and nurturer. Which is why we find him working to cure and aid others, and maybe he's a little bit odd with the dental obsession, but no one's perfect.
His previous bloodline dried up, his fault he likes to believe, so he banished himself from his home and fled to a new island, a rock skipping to the farthest coast as if he could fly away from inner demons.
Speaking of demons, he's not a fan of them, and you might catch him lashing out at those who deem humanity a source of food or a plaything. Emmit adores mortals and could be easily won over into loyalty; a fault for some.
THE SPECIFICS
slipped under his radar
someone might've snuck in a bastard child and his original guarding bloodline might not be as dry as he thought. they know of him, can call him by name, and demand anything from him. or maybe it's not that easy, and he has to convince and educate them of their ancestry.balancing the scales
in the long term, romantic, happily ever after sense, i'd prefer if whomever he settled down with was also a dragon, or happened to become one through some magical means. or...immortality spells. emmit doesn't need the heart break of a life that barely burns.forsooth, a slayer
claiming knighthood or riches by taking down a dragon are fairy tales, to be sure, but with the assumption he's just another dragon with a horde, maybe someone wants to attempt the epic quest. or a group, even. gather your adventuring party, let's hope he drops some epic loot. [spoiler: he won't]
BROAD STROKES
enemy of my enemy
other supernaturally disinclined beings might notice he's on their team, and convince him to make it more than just happenstance that he's there to blow more than just smoke to spook away the demons and undead. we can look past the fire breathing and scales, can't we?what a fool
i doubt other dragons think highly of his choice in lifestyle and how he chooses to enjoy his immortality and magic blessed to him by being what he is. maybe a few understand, but i'd like to think they find him silly, not wanting to be above.violence is the answer
he's a protector, and that comes with the hero mentality. he might ask to take it outside, and make an enemy for life out a bar brawl. just because he'd rather crack jokes and his career choice is medicinal doesn't make him shy away from proving his mettle. not a half bad shot, just in case you want to paint a target on yourself.
