Ava was honestly surprised at how the dragon reacted toward her touch. He purred and began to rubbed his snout against her, and no matter how much she petted and scratched at his scales, he seemed to want her to rub and scratch more until finally he nudge her so that she fell back with a gasp. She blinked in surprise and was half temped to pull her dagger out again. Though, she thought against that. Even though he did knock her down and was on top of her, he didn't seem to be doing so threateningly.

Looking up at him, she grew confused by his innocent look, only to flinch as he knelt his head down and ran his tongue over her face, "Ugh! Gross!" She said and sitting up, she began attempting to wipe her face off. She found it utterly sticky though and walked over to the ocean line, and began to attempt to wash it off there. When she thought she had it off the best she could, she walked back over to him, her heads on her hip, leaning over with a mockingly and playful glare, "You just love to annoy me, don't you, you big lumax."
