Souji was actually just... continuing the motions of digging, by the time the Dragon looked his way. The earth trembles were the thing that caught his attention first, and when he saw that... big, black, red eyed dragon just casually walking... crawling? Towards him, all he could do was just. Stare.

Kinda weird, as he briefly thought to himself-- fighting all those shadows, they'd never really gotten to fight a dragon. No Trial of the Dragon for Chie, he wondered if she was disappointed about that--

Well, it was his dream, and the Dragon didn't seem... aggressive? Once it finally noticed Souji, he tensed, waiting to have to run for it-- but... All it did was look back.

For a few moments, it was a staring contest-- Unicorn against Dragon, who would win?!

But, finally, Souji took a deep breath, mustering his Courage and gave the Dragon a small smile, nodding his head forwards it in greeting.

"Hey there. Out for a walk?"
