Strange telegraphs his opinions on dragons far and wide, so Daud is under no illusions that it's a neutral question. What's more of a surprise is that it's taken the man this long to ask him directly, but all that being said, he'll give an honest response.

"They had power," he says, simply. "The kind of power men would do anything to claim. Even the dragons themselves didn't think they had enough." And the world burned for it, for the madness and greed of dragon blood. Silver eyes study the magician, neutrally, then turn to the wolf curled on the floor.

"... thought where there's any scrap of power to be had, there are always those who'll fight for it." He shrugs, finally. "With or without dragons, I find the world's not much different."
