He nodded slowly at her mention of trade routes, trying to think of a place to trade with that wasn't a direct rival. Sadly, that let Brevory pretty much alone on the list. Maybe they could do some trading with other river kingdoms that weren't immediately next door, or possibly Taldor, even if he would rather watch it burn. Either way, it was a problem for later.<br/><br/>The dragon lordling was a bit surprised at her flirting, but simply shrugged with his wings. "Simply continue to be your charming, beautiful self. You brighten everyone's day with your smile, so please continue to spread it."<br/><br/>He realized she wasn't being entirely serious with her flirting, it was simply something she did, but oddly he had no desire to lay with her even if she was being completely serious. He figured it was the lack of a proper hoard, which was compounded by the lack of a proper lair. Regardless, the dinner ended soon afterwards, and the next day he left with the prepared team, ready to deal with trolls. Everyone had been briefed that they were hunting trolls, so everyone had been directed to buy at least 3 acid flasks and alchemist fires at least. Just because he had fire and acid spells, as well as a fire breath weapon, didn't give them an excuse to get complacent. The goal of the first day was to enter the area with the mad hermit, and determine if he was safe, before heading south to ensure the lizardfolk understood his new rules.
