- Thank you, Astrid.

- You need to live and breathe this stuff.

- The dragon manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of.

- Ah. No attacks tonight. Study up.

- Wait, you mean read?

- While we're still alive?

- Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?

- I've read it like seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And there's this other one...

- Yeah. That sounds great. There was a chance I was gonna read that.

- But, now...

- You guys read. I'll go kill stuff.

- So I guess we'll share?

- Read it.

- Uh, all mine, then. Wow.
