It might be to her dismay, but it's a boon to Hans. Not that he realises it yet, of course. He's going to have to tread carefully, but even a dragon without fire isn't something to be sniffed at. He doesn't exactly make a habit of fighting big lizards on a daily basis, but he feels he can handle this.

He grits his teeth when he's sassed by said giant lizard, watching those wings spread warily and holding his ground. "If you're looking to fight, I won't back down. However, if you'd be so kind as to let me past, I'd save you the embarrassment of being bested by a man with a sword." He quirks a brow at her, feeling decidedly arrogant about making his way out of this damn maze.
