The dragon watched, stunned as she retreated down the beach at a pitiful pace for someone who called herself a runner. He winced at the name calling and the fact that she dare insult the people of the land when they had no real relation to him earned her a glare to her back. No, he was not amused.
In his opinion she could be knocked down a peg or two for all the venom she spat. He almost let her leave peacefully, but she didn't really seem to like peace, did she?
Kanoa shifted to his larger form slowly and took his time stretching and unfurling his wings to greet the bright sun beating down upon the private stretch of beach. In his true form she was much easier to spot far away as she was, so he took to the skies at a leisurely pace to go after her. It would only be a few moments before he was upon her anyway, but he stayed high and enjoyed the sun and wind as he played with the currents rolling above her chosen path.
The blue dragon dipped to glide lower and lower once he'd decided on how to punish the little human. A good swim might help calm her fire.
With a short, barking laugh of a roar to warn her Kanoa dove at last to pluck her from the sands, his claws a complete cage around her waist as he hoisted her back up into the air with a few powerful flaps that whipped sand into a flurry around them.
He didn't want to punish her too terribly, really he only wanted a bit of fun. He stayed fairly low as he flew her out, circling back to the beach once only to taunt her with it before rising up to hover with her a bit higher above the depths. With a triumphant roar he released her all at once from his grasp. The blue dragon craned his neck with hopes of enjoying the satisfaction of what screams and splash he thought would follow.
