How many? [Granby doesn't flinch at closer draconic inspection. If anything, he hardly seems to notice it at all, no matter how hot the breath or how many teeth might be involved. But the question has thrown him.] There are hundreds within England alone. I do not believe there is a country in the world without dragons and many with far, far more than England. In China I must have seen thousands upon thousands.

[If he is exaggerating it's not by much. Dragons have just been such a constant in his life since early childhood that he had never truly given much thought to numbers beyond how many within a certain covert or formation, how many might feed on x number of cows, how many took sick with the dragon plague, etc. He might as well have been asked how many humans there are.]
