[ This time Arthur voices his disbelief, ] Don’t run? It’s trying to eat me!
[ Though, if nothing else, he stops running on of sheer incredulity at the order. So, that works out. However, it’s very difficult to hold one’s ground in the face of an angry dragon, and Arthur’s every instinct is screaming at him to run away as fast as his legs can carry him.
If he gets out of this alive, this man is going to owe him, big time.
Now that he’s stopped moving, the dragon’s head shoots in his direction, maw wide, ready to bite poor Arthur in two. Almost on instinct, he brings his gun to bear and fires.
Unlike its outsides, the inside of the dragon doesn’t have thick scales for protection, and Arthur’s bullet zips right inside the creature’s mouth. It must have struck something, because the dragon rears back with an ungodly screech, a burst of flame erupting from its mouth unbidden. Arthur feels the blast of heat and stumbles back with a curse as the dragon swings its head wildly, unsure of what to do with the sudden injury to its throat. ]
