Humans think ahead, just not always for the right reasons. Just as they sometimes don't think ahead. We aren't long lived like the other folk here or like you. Sometimes thinking about getting through the day to make it to the next is all you can do.

[They played the long game to bring about the end of the world where he was from, so he couldn't agree that all humans never thought ahead. But different worlds had different people and ideologies so he wasn't going to really argue against it either.]

The dragon destroyed a lot, it's natural for humans to want to defend and get rid of the perceived problem. If the dragon can be reasoned with, that's all well and good though so I'm not against the plan.

[He just isn't sure it will work, given what the dragon did only recently.]
