"I can't be."

Hypatia simply shrugged at the armor-clanned knight, giving her unnamed inquirer a knowing smile. This knight had come a long way from the capital, and so young sounding as well! It was not all that surprising - knight orders took squires early, and Dragonslayers were trained even earlier. If she was of the latter, then of course she'd be willing to travel from Maison to this town. 

"But I am certain that charging a dragon without any 'gifts' is suicide. The reason I suggest a trap is because it's indirect confrontation of a greater force. I am also certain that, despite the variety found in the dragon, they are animals as much as you and I. Like you and I, they have patterns and quirks, little routines they go through which even they are not completely aware of. Identify those, become familiar with them, and then use it against them."

The Hunter paused for effect, offering a nod to Feron in recognition. She elaborated some more. 

"I wouldn't call it 'falling' for a trap, more they'd be walking into a trap. I think 'falling' implies an ad hoc, on the spot element to it. The only thing humanity has over dragons is numbers and brains...mostly. Better to use those bodies and brains productively, rather than throw them into a furnace, mh?" 

"Of course, not all of them are so easily defeated by nets, pits, poisons and rocks. But that's a sad reality, I'm afraid. There's always Dragonslayers for those types, though."
