"People are easier than dragons," Nida shrugged dismissively. He's killed people. People on his world tend to be less intelligent than dragons. Far less intelligent. And less persistent. "And go down with far less punishment."

Mercenaries could get pretty blase about human life. Sorry Malik. The young man isn't exactly... bothered over considering people.

"And most people here who know how to fight are either people I would have to ambush, or would be really easy to kill."

You know, from a theoretical standpoint. Nida doesn't just inherently consider how to take someone down in a fight. Not at all.
