"Scare it off? A dragon? Scared of me?" It seemed like it should be the other way around. She was terrified o this beast in front of her. Especially with its spikes that looked like they could pierce right through her. Still though, she moved forward slowly and carefully, worried eyes on the dragon as she approached, ready to run for it if the dragon made any move to hard her. Finally, she took Blizzard's hand nervously and almost jerked it back when he moved her hand toward the dragon. She half expected it to bite her hand off, as she had said before when in her home village. But, it didn't. Instead the dragon seemed curious about her and when her hand touched smooth scares, the Nadder hummed in delight. 

Blinking in surprise at him, Ava moved a little closer and began scratching the dragon' scales, confused and shocked all at once, "It didn't try to hurt me." She said in a breathy voice and laughed softly, scratching the scales more, "Wow. Never been this close a Nadder before. This is kind of...amazing." She stated and laughed as the dragon nuzzled her with its snout, spikes pressed down against itself to keep from poking her with them, "Are all dragons like this when you approach them like that?" She asked, looking back at Blizzard.
