((seriously, nobody else tried to talk to the dragon while I was gone? Seems the murderbot might not be the only one who doesn't actually mind some dragon slaughter. Or worst case, I am the only one who cares about the plot? Oh well.))
Iunno. Will might have, but A. he wasn't really made aware of the dragon IIRC, B. he can't fly, and most importantly C. having a conversation between two of my on characters is weird. Especially if it's plot-relevant.
((also, the doc clearly said that silver dragons are only appearing this cycle. Unless the doc is not actually representative, wouldn't that make this silver dragon rather young, as in, not even a year old?))
1. Just because they are from this cycle doesn't mean they are all from this year. There were several centuries for them to hatch between cycles.
2. Keep in mind that your characters don't know it. Once you chat with more dragons on the subject of draconic races, it should become clear, but until then...
((yay, now I can finaly waste away the hours of my life again))
I've been wasting the hours by getting ahead on my reverse-xkcd-archive binge.
How does that compute with the majority of dragons standing at a stat total between 120 and 200?
You aren't intended to be fighting them. Or, really, any dragon except the one.
(("this conversation is over" implies ICARUS did not stay to wait for further draconic crap. If the council is in any way of similar mind as this one here, talking to them is a waste of time anyway))
1. Dragons are almost as good at interrupting people who speak as humans.
2. This dragon was deferring judgement to the council. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for the council to be of the same mindset (although it would be amusing).
