He had been grazing, letting what warmth the sun offered sink into his back as he munched on dull grasses. It was a slow, sleepy kind of morning. The kind that promised a day of similar sleepiness to follow. Thoughts of a warm, snug place to curl up in occupied his mind, the idea of long stretches of sleep interspersed with meals. Fantasies borne of dropping temperatures that promised none of those things.
He stretched, considering moving on from the public land, when a scrap of brown fur blurred past. That alone was enough to capture his predatory attention, but what followed set him on the trail. A cry of "you're it!", the light push on his shoulder, and the chase was on. Memory of childhood races through hot sand intermingled the reality of the tail quickly sprinting away from his pursuant steps.
The flash of copper and white skin through the trees was a teasing target as the pale stallion cantered in steady rhythm after her. The scent of warm sweat and bright, hot blood piqued him, nostrils flared to inhale as much of the familiar odor as he could.
It was over in moments, far too soon in his opinion. She had stopped in the first clearing her path had opened on to, breath flowing steadily in and out. The dragon took his turn, hard hoofed legs turning into glittering scaled arms in a blink. He had leapt as soon as the trees opened. Her body was clutched tight to his barrel as he propelled them to the ground, monster's teeth sunk ever so delicately into the flesh of her nape. He had paused just short of breaking skin.
A laugh rumbled up through his chest to vibrate against her back as he released his grip on the woman. "No, you're it." He replied, grinning lazily at her from where he lay. "Hello, Catcher. Long time, no see."
@[Catcher] a little power play, let me know if you want it edited out <3
