When Desiree heard Professor Fergersnout's response to her classmates' debate about giants' intelligence, she was glad she didn't take part in it. She listened as the lecture moved on, mildly confused by the direction it took. She didn't understand the need for so much emphasis on giants' aggression. She didn't remember anyone questioning their violent tendencies, just their intelligence, and she didn't consider the two traits mutually exclusive. Comparatively speaking, the next question was fairly easy to understand.

Frankly, Desiree wouldn't want to fight a giant; she wouldn't want to fight anyone unless he absolutely had to. She was more the kill them with kindness type, like Emma had mentioned, but she didn't give that answer for two reasons. 1) it didn't need repeating and 2) she doubted it was the kind of answer the professor wanted.

Recalling a bit of information from her textbook, she raised her hand and said, "Possibly by luring them into small spaces. Giants don't like close quarters and are known to fight each other when confined. So if one were to lure the giants somewhere cramped, they could turn on each other, which could buy time to mount an attack and leave fewer opponents to fight." Did that idea make sense? I'd did in her mind, but less so when she said it out loud!
