Ezio huffed at Valor, a strange thing considering his rabbit form. He managed to look haughty despite his appearance though and he flung back his ears with a little head shake. "Prey? I'm a rabbit because I'm cute," he stated. However, the joke didn't last long. The magic around them was suddenly thrown off as a dragon tore through the trees. Eyes wide, Ezio stared at the beast for a second, too surprised to react. He'd gotten so caught up in his game with Valor that he missed the existence of such a creature? An academic like him? How?

As Valor pulled him out of the way, Ezio snapped back to attention. Even in the form of a rabbit, his body murmuring spells far away in the relative safety of the village, he could still perform some magical things. Shifting from his rabbit form to that of an owl, he soared up into the sky. "Do you intend to fight a dragon alone? Daft idiot!" he called down. Despite their differences, he couldn't bring himself to flee in some cowards manner. "Let the village guard handle it and run away yourself." If anyone was to cause Valor trouble, it should be himself, not some dumb mystical beast who could shatter a blade. Therefore, Valor was not allowed to die here.
