Mermish was an actual language in this world? Well, she supposed so.

Her question actually probably betrays that she has no idea what she is talking about. "Is the dragon somewhat sentient or is it more like a wild animal? Because if it understands human speech we might be able to lure it away with that, instead of just trapping it." Because this world evidently plays on different rules than she's used to. Because if this was Aselia, she would just suggest to kill it.
