The dragon snarled when Natsu was not in fact, flattened or pinned or even smacked aside - though maybe surprisingly when Natsu grabbed hold of the tail, the dragon was already looking at where he reappeared. It's a tug of war! Because the dragon doesn't want him touching his tail thank you very much, and raises a claw, raising it in the air -

Aaand that's when the sound of a door being SLAMMED open is heard, followed by very quick, very light footsteps and a -furious- girl's voice, "GEt the HELL away from him, you bastard..!" as someone runs straight THROUGH the flames and at you Natsu! Heads up!
