<strong>"Well, that has been the case with some. Really though, they are smart enough to converse, and to know when they can't fight something. Later on, when you know you can flatten it, you should probably approach the Linnorm - make an ultimatum, perhaps give it the same chance you gave everyone else: a fight, then if beaten they can surrender or die. I don't know how successful you will be, but either way - slaying the Linnorm would impress many and aid our wealth. To have one actually bowing their head to you though, well...<br/><br/>Dragons are proud of ourselves for good reasons, and have self-confidence, not backing down readily. Linnorms are just stubborn. So if you were to rule over one, it would basically show the world you are the boss."</strong><br/><br/>Shyrath seems mildly amused.<br/><br/><strong>"But I really would suggest you leave that until a later date, when you know you'll win. I'm rather fond of you, my mate, and would hate to think that anyone could kill you. That would make me the third strongest being on the plane, instead of second strongest."</strong><br/><br/>It's easy to tell from her voice that the last bit is just a bit of humour, but that the first bit is sincere.
