I can’t be hunting - what do I say if someone asks why I have a gun?

Tell them it is for protection from dangerous animals.

What do I say we are doing in the woods?

If anyone asks, we are on a rescue mission, looking for a friend who disappeared, Ike Monnihan - they do not need to know we are hunting a dragon.

Didn’t you make a promise to Knocker that you would not hunt again?

Yeah, so what?

Do you really want to break your promise to a dragon?

Well, if I get him first, what difference does it make?

What if you don’t get him first?

Let’s just make sure I do, okay?
