Summary
Even in his- not old age, his advancing years- even in his advancing years, Zeff’s sense of smell is nothing but sharp and highly discerning. He can tell the difference between meat still fit to cook versus what’s too rotted by a matter of hours, his nose is capable of picking out a single patch of particular berries in the middle of a whole forest, and even without looking, he’s aware when there is any sort of knight or princeling within a mile of his cave that needs chasing off.
Other dragons might rely on their ears for the sound of jingling chainmail or clattering plate armor, but Zeff always sneezes at the slightest whiff of wax and polish used to keep those tin cans shiny. No annoying gnat of a knight who’d come looking to fight him would ever go without, they’re a vain lot and no mistake.

It is, incredibly tempting to shove his snout down into the water and roar with fury.
This isn’t a sham of a knight who came wandering into Zeff’s lair.
This is a hatchling.
Bearing a cursed helmet he can’t take off, wearing bits and pieces of borrowed or scavenged armor, wielding a knife tied to a stick-
