Humans were simple creatures, always needing to somehow justify what they've done in history and when they couldn't? They lied and covered up the most vital points of every event that were shady. The Blood Dragon realized what they taught in their schools back when he was a servant. He used to sit outside of the local schools and listen to them teach. Some of which he may have wanted to burn down for their insolence. There was one or two good things about being Gore though, the Teachers often checked the windows to make sure he wasn't going to demolish their building or set it on fire. So it was no surprise to him when she seemed to only see a monster before her, after all..she wasn't entirely wrong. Only a monster killed as many as he had. Coming to terms with what one did was always the hardest step to take in any journey, so he didn't bother getting angry with how she stared at him. He didn't even know that he killed her only chance to find whoever she was looking for. Course one would doubt if he would even feel guilty over it, chances are he would just scoff.

Lack of control a child's problem to a Dragon. As they grew older, they were taught a balance to their strengths and respected what honor there was in everything they did. Gore was a testament to that as far as any other Dragon in the realm. Most Dragons after spending so much time under the same roof as humans would act a certain way, as if they accepted their fates and didn't care to change them. Now that Gore was out and people knew about him? He may not be able to go back into hiding. They would find him in under a decade..
Looking down at the Girl who was now under his wing, he stared at her for a moment, thinking of what she could be looking at. She hadn't said a word in awhile and it actually made him worry..did she know something he didn't? She was a human and as far as he knew, she was -with- those Hunters and Mercenaries. Even if she was though, he'd let them come. The Blood Dragon was bored and he didn't want to leave just yet. He had something else in mind for if and when they got here. Wounded or not, he was still one of the more dangerous things in the forest that night.

Did he just hear her right!? Did she just..No. No she couldn't of. She's one of them! She's a careless child that couldn't possibly ever think of a Dragon in a way that -wasn't- seeing them as objects or animals. Though there he stood. She managed to get his attention, actually causing him to make a grueling sound. His eyes flashed in curiosity at this girl who actually said something that he never heard before. As a Servant, or even from his own kind. Just the look in his eyes gave what he thought, hatred for her wasn't there anymore, instead it was replaced with some resentment mixed with a curiosity and maybe even a bit of hope. Being alone for so long couldn't have been fun, could it? Maybe he wouldn't mind a bit of company, even if it was with one of -them-.
Gore moved slightly to curl around her better in a more protective manner, keeping his wing over her head calmly. His eyes moved back to where he was looking prior, knowing he kept hearing something. Though the look in his eyes wasn't fear from that..It was as if his teal orbs were looking for something else, frantically moving from place to place. 

Gore knew only a bit about running due to his honor, even if his escape and very existence revolved around Hunters trailing and tracking him own maliciously as if he were some kind of prize. That was the problem with mankind..They saw a Dragon and they saw just another mindless beast. Even his previous owner which were ages ago, he didn't run from. He made sure that the owner regretted every last second of her torture against him and the other Dragons. Though the others hadn't followed him like he wanted. That may have did it, that could have been what caused him to hide away from the world..but no one would know unless they genuinely asked him what happened, or ordered him to talk.
The Blood Dragon noticed how the girl before him was staring off into space, making him take in her form a bit more. She didn't look like a Hunter, the way she wielded the blade was proof of that, was she a noble?.. Moving his snout closer to her, he tilted his head as he took in her features. Her build was feminine and more meek, but the look in her eyes reminded him of something. It was a look her was familiar with, the need to prove one self. With a grunt, the Dragon rested his head back down, staring into the darkness that made him want to light the entire forest up in flames.

Watching the Arrow drop didn't effect Gore. In fact he continued to look the way it came as if it was the dullest of things ever. When Marian began to speak, he just stared at her like the insect he was. Surrounded? Did they not realize what happened to the -last- group of Hunters that surrounded him? Hah! Humans are so damned arrogant that they forget the basics of any hunter. A wounded animal is at its most vicious and feral state. Dragons knew that, why couldn't these tiny people!? 
The Blood Dragon just grumbled under his breath, narrowing his eyes at the raven-haired woman. She spoke with a strength in her voice that vexed the monster before her, but still the Dragon didn't move. 
Evade? Haha her view on evading someone was as skewed as the rest of humanity's view on Dragons! Gore found himself looking around to see just how many were out there, as he began tapping his tail into the wet ground, causing a smacking sound that seemed to move to a beat. His eyes moved with each tap.

After a moment, Gore picked himself up, slowly walking toward Marian, looking down at her like the fool she was. He didn't say anything, but instead? He swished his tongue around his closed mouth, coughing a bone out, whacking her with it. That was his answer. The bone was splintered and still held some of the blood on the poor hunter that was unfortunate enough to find himself in his jaws. The Tapping got quicker and louder as he could hear the reactions from everyone, making him extend his wings, snarling at the humans that surrounded him and the girl. As soon as he heard the first arrow release, he ducked back and moved over to Rose, wrapping his tail around her, pulling her up onto his back as his wings folded neatly over her lap in a seat belt like fashion. With that, he ran at Marian, SPECIFICALLY Marian as he roared, shouldering a tree that was in the way, actually causing it to splinter and get knocked down. He clearly wanted the woman in charge more than anyone else, and one would be threatened just by the look in his eyes, as if he only saw her torment that lie in wait for him if he were to fall.
