The dragon, he noticed half crazily, had its eyes closed. Well if you took that into account it was a menace anyway-
"Slag."
Something that big, no matter how lazily it turned, seemed able to move very quickly - perhaps because, merely by changing the direction of that neck, it could go from reasonably-far-away to suddenly way-within-comfort-zone. And how were you supposed to fight a dragon anyway? He didn't have a sword. Swords were what they always used in the stories and movies and games, which were the only places that dragons should even exist-
Okay really that head was way too close, and it had taken maybe a second or so in getting way too close. As a result Terry reacted before sinking a lot of thought into it, which wasn't unreasonable when suddenly confronted with something that looked like maybe it could open its mouth about five times as high as you were tall.
He had three kinds of batarangs - exploding, electro-shock, and your standard. Somehow he didn't think that the third kind would do much here (somehow he didn't think ANY kind would do much here, but those least of all-) and his supply of the electric variety were far more limited than the exploding ones.
So he figured he could spare an exploding one. So he did. Because though he really, really highly doubted it would do any real damage, hopefully it would make her pause long enough for him to keep her from eating him.
