Thoughts: If the dragon's normal breath is fire, is means that their internal temperature is not low enough to cool down candlewicks. This is not much different than how human breath is warmer from the envionment. Form the perspective of, say, a lichen, a human's breath might as well be fire. Dragons are just run 10x as hot as humans. The question is, what material are they consuming in order to maintain this temperature constantly. Are they consuming coal as food?
