Nova
we dream in colors
It's hard to tell if the dragon is playing or putting on a show, but Nova can't find it in herself to care. She giggles as it tries and fails to maneuver the echo shark in a way that its head to reach while it flies. But the sound quickly shifts to a delighted gasp when it drops the shark, its massive jaws snapping out to cut cleanly through the bone and sinew in a sound that Nova swears she can hear from the beach. It's deadly, it's brutal, it's incredible.
Any sane person would be terrified at the display, but Nova revels it in. She even gives a congratulatory clap of her hands once she manages to set aside her shells, eyes glowing in the sunlight as she drinks in the majesty of the black dragon, giggling when it roars and barrel rolls through the sky.
The other patrons of the beach move to leave, but she stays, watching it approach with the same bedazzled lack of fear she'd had when facing Sunjata's storm dragon, naively assuming it won't bother to attack her. In her delusional state, Nova gathers her shells back up, standing on the beach with her hair ruffling in the breeze like the female main character waiting for her lover at the end of a movie, appearing to bask in the dragon's approach rather than shy away. She even offers a wave as it gets closer, grinning far and wide.
