Catching up to the running Stupid Dragon, I slammed a hand onto its head. "What on earth are you running for? I'm not piloting someone else's avatar right now; I'm fighting in my true body. You're stronger than me, what are you running from?"
The Stupid Dragon offered its explanation: "That light cake from last time smashed down right next to me and exploded! It hurt so much! I don't want to experience that again. If I don't run, what am I supposed to do?"
A light cake? It must have been that light shield that activated the Energy Binding last time. "Is this the same thing? Last time, it gathered energy beyond my control, but this time there isn't any. What are you running for? With your level of strength, can't you tell the difference between energy threat levels? Even if it hit you, would it scratch even a layer of skin? Come on, keep going!"
