If an opponent thinks the creature can be beaten, he will engage because of the size. If he thinks it cannot be beaten, he will resort to extreme measures to find a way around it. Or run.

Dabbling with words again. Still working with Born in Fire by Nora Roberts.
//
When he left the pub
And listened to the phone
His miserable life behind his eyes
Another drag on his cigarette
He joked about opening a pub

“The bloodsuckers got him first.”
I rolled my eyes. “Bloodsuckers? Really? Every vampire TV show ever called—they want their catchphrases back.”
“Vampires suck blood. Hence the term.”
“Use a little originality. They screw like rock stars, too. So why don’t you call them rock-star screwers?”
“Besides the clumsiness of that phrase, rock stars are mortal. They couldn’t possibly screw as well as vampires.”

Reading Jon chapters kinda makes me want to claw my eyes out but my god, he’s just swimming in symbolic imagery.

~ Morgana Pendragon, The Mad Queen ~
[Audio Description: Morgana Pendragon, the character from the BBC series Merlin, stands against a dark red-purple background with a golden crosshatched pattern behind her as a halo. She is wearing a red dress, the colour belonging famously to the Pendragon household and Camelot. In her hands she holds a golden sword by her side, pointed downwards with the hilt raised above her head. She is holding it incorrectly though, her lower hands holding the blade directly, while the other half-holds the hilt and blade, each hand drawing blood that drips down the metal and stains her hands.
She doesn't pay the pain any attention, however, and her eyes are in fact closed with an expression of yearning on her face. For Morgana, the sword represents power, which she is clinging to despite the harm it is causing her. Without a mentor or a friend to guide her properly, the sword will ultimately be her undoing, but for now she longs for it.]
