Learning the common language here would be the most accurate, but not the quickest method to achieving the kind of knowledge the Dragon seeks. It is a trade-off. He recognizes that digging deeper will be inevitable to discern some of the precise nitty-gritty details of complex magic spells, but he knows there are resources available for that should he need them.
He strides to the window and bends out to watch the landscape and town below.
"I'll certainly remember you and your battle-magic, Petrana, when the next demon attacks." He presses his lips together thinly. He's only heard of them from the authorities; he has yet to examine one himself yet.
He utters another clipped, precise incantation and conjures another mist sentinel in his palm. With a broad, long pitch, he chucks the thing as far out the window as he can manage, where it catches a gust of blustery wind and drifts away.
May as well test how far his eyes can travel here. The Dragon has already sensed that it may not go nearly as far as in Polnya, but he will not know for sure until he tests the limits.
If you have any more questions, Petrana, you best ask them now, because he doesn't have much else to discuss with you for the moment.
