Â And they, too, have suffered greatly at the hands of outsiders. Â They also, so far as we are aware, have no ill-will towards the elementals.In my opinion if any manner of conflict were to arise between the dragons and Elementals, it would be more likely rooted in possible apathy toward the well-being of the Shroud by the dragons than conscious ill will. While I don't see anything to suggest dragons have any desire to lash out at the Elementals, I also don't see them caring enough to tip-toe through the Shroud should they ever find themselves there.
But again that's just speculation, and in practice it would likely vary depending on the specific dragon and what they're doing.
I think, actually, that characterizing it as "tiptoeing" would be incorrect, as it's quite likely the dragons would fully understand and comprehend what the Elementals were going on about. Â It's not like it is in the case of mortals, where sometimes even Hearers and Padjal are totally confused as to why the Elementals are losing their shit. Â I suspect that the great dragons - not the lesser ones, of course - would be much more aware of what is going on. Â So instead of it being the case with mortals, where we're doing things that don't make any sense to us, it might very well make perfect sense to a dragon, because they don't think the way we do.
I have to agree with that sentiment. The dragons have been here forever, and with the way that their minds operate, details like that are probably fresh in their minds.
