Do they really need to get bigger?! She doesn't actually ask that aloud, but it's potentially obvious in the way she sighs, deep and long-suffering. Just thinking about how a regular ("regular," hah) dragon could make the ground shake just by stomping a few times is enough to make her wince. Ugh. She doesn't even want to think too deeply about how hard it's going to be to just keep her balance when they find the thing.
Ah, well. She idly stomps her feet a couple of times as they walk, as if to assure herself of the steadiness of the ground before she lifts her arms, folding them behind her head. If she ends up elbowing Kadoc a little in the side as she does it, she has some plausible deniability.
"Well, either we're gonna have better luck because there's less of us to work around, or we're going to get our asses kicked sooner than later. We'll find out."
There's no real concern in her, though. Maybe she should be more worried--Beowulf might have a legend as a dragon-killer even as a mortal man, but they've only got him as the heavy hitter.
At the same time, they've dealt with worse odds in Chaldea. Even if they don't win, they'll survive, and she'll take that as a reasonable victory condition.
