I also have a thing for the idea of retired dragonslayers. I mean, if what you do is kill dragons, there's going to be a point where you get too old to ply your trade. (That's if you're good. If you're not, you've already been charbroiled a long time ago and the issue is academic.) I mean, it's dire, hard work killing a full-grown dragon. At least I assume so, not having done it myself recently.
