[Stiles hasn't used the lockets until today, a day spent flicking mostly through the posts and seeing how to actually work this thing and, oh, okay. Like that. It was like a weird magical phone set to Skype. Okay. He could do that.

Smile into the camera, Stiles.]

Hey there, uh, fairy people. And non-fairy people. And, uh, the draconically inclined. Or furry. I don't... just... hi. So, in light of the whole worm thing, which by the way, eww, I have a question. Since there seem to be a lot of, um, not exactly human people around and ones who have skills with like, swords and magic and stuff, ah, what... hypothetically speaking, would someone who was just a regular, normal, average human be able to do here? You know, besides hiding under tables and throwing rocks ineffectively?

[This was a very important question, Drabwurld. He wasn't a werewolf or a wizard or witch or... any of the multitude of people here that he'd run into. His coordination was subpar and, well, he didn't really have any skills that included cutting the heads off of giant worms or not getting eaten by dragons if they felt the need.]

Just, ah, I guess just reply here, if you want. Or leave a message if you're looking at it later. 'Kay. Uh, thanks.

Oh? Would you rather I told you to pick up a sword and charge into the fray?

No, but you gotta admit that being told to hide under the tables, or elsewhere, is just a bit insulting. I do have a male ego, you know. It's fragile and delicate, like a snowflake.

[ A snort. ]

If that's how you describe yourself, you might be better off being insulted than being in a fight. Fine then. Surely brave Sir Snowflake has some skill in one thing or another. What are they?

Nothing that applies here, unless we have to defeat someone via gaming skills, but I don't exactly see any XBoxes around. I can read a book. Well, I can read more than 'a book', but I also don't think worms or anything like that are going to shrivel up from watching my eyes skim paper.

Perhaps not, but what if you had read the book that had told us how to slay them far earlier than trial and error had?

Sure. Next time something comes up, I'll go into the labyrinth of a library they have and just oh so easily grab the right book that's in the right language and magically it will tell us how to kill it before you guys figure something out with your chewing and burning. I'll get right on that.

Did it ever occur to you that if it was in a book here in the library that someone who lived here in the castle who was probably hundreds if not thousands of years old would have read it already and might have pointed out how to kill it?

The trick to that is to start reading before the next threat appears, I imagine. As for the rest, I haven't the faintest idea. Would they have? Do they care to read? Can they recall every detail they've come across over all those years, assuming they do?

[ He can't even read, man, how's he supposed to know how any of that works besides "they write important things in those sometimes"? ]

... I'm pretty sure if they have a library like that? They care to read. At least someone would have read the books, and I'm pretty sure that over the centuries, they'd probably have gotten to read them all.

And it's not likely you'd forget about reading about giant worms if they just popped up one day. Like, that would pretty much trigger familiarity.

[God, Dragon. Learn how to read.]

[ Books are tiny, he can't turn the pages anyway! ]

Then perhaps they merely decided not to share such knowledge. [ Or he's just an old, paranoid dragon. ] Though that speculation does not help you in a course of action. So if fighting and research are out, shall we return to discussing your hiding options?

Anyone ever tell you you're kind of a dick?

[OH MY GOD, STILES. YOU DON'T JUST TELL DRAGONS THEY'RE DICKS.]

[ YOU DON'T but honestly, people do it all the time, anyway. That's mankind for you. On the bright side, that only gets a deep chuckle out of Draco. ]

Not so directly, but yes, quite often in the last few months.

Yeah, well, maybe you might want to look into that. Not being one, that is.

[Well, looks like someone's never going outside the castle. Ever. They might get flamebroiled.]

Oh no. I fear am I far too old to change my ways now. You will simply have to endure on through it.

[ Basically a lolno right there. ]

In any case, if you find no use in my suggestions, then I imagine we can stop wasting time on this. I'm sure you and I both have better things to do.

[He made that put upon groan that all teenagers mastered, eyes rolling as he 'god, no'd to himself.]

How is that a useful suggestion? Hiding under tables. Right. If there was a ranking system of suggestions, that would be like, last place.

Not for long. Hmm roast rabbit...

... He'd like some of that.

Greedy gut dragons don't share, get ur own. :U

Rude. He's the one who pointed out the rabbit.

Catchers keepers, finders weepers.

Rudest of the rude dragons.

That he is, that he is.
