Oh, empty my heart
Not... not in this form? The answer made Seren blink. Accepting Lilly, she stroked the puppy's ears as soothingly as she was able, and watched Sah back off with a worried frown.
"Watch out for the claws. And try to get him on his back, if you can? I'll distract him, so he won't use his fire. I'm really sorry, Sah. He has stopped listening to anything I say... none of my threats are taken seriously." Likely because the dragon knew she would never actually do any of them. Leave him somewhere, never speak again, sever the bond - all impossible things too horrible to bear.
Whatever it was that had Umbra's tail in a knot, it was in full reign by the time he came swooping in. He had grown even larger since the last encounter with Sah. In only a season he had exploded into what must surely be his full height, and what he lacked in bulk was made up for in length. Tall enough for the shoulders to reach Seren's hip, from head to tail the dragon was longer than Sah was tall, with a wingspan to match and sharp silvery tines running along the spine that would definitely hurt to grab hold of.
Seren's distractions seemed to work, because though there was an attempt at starting up a breath of flame it sputtered out as Umbra shook his head, annoyed by whatever images the girl kept throwing at him. He still came sweeping down towards the young man, wings spread wide while the rear legs curled up to aim a sharp kick at the former wolf's chest.
No punches were pulled; this was serious.

I've got to make room for this feeling
