Harri couldn't respond. The dragon spoke to his mind wich was confusing and intriguing at the same time. More so the fact that the dragon seemed to be more scared of him than he of it. Of course the fact that the dragon actually spoke was incredible too, but there were so many things coming at him at one time. Harri couldn't possible process all of it so fast. So in short he froze up. He couldn't be sure the dragon would even understand if he spoke.

Growing up the elders and teachers would tell him stories about how dragons were aggressive and harmful towards humans. This one seemed different from all the things he had heard. After what seemed like hours, which were just seconds, Harri started swimming slowly towards the dragon. He wasn't sure himself of what he was doing, but it was instinctive. He came close and softly put his hand on the dragon. " I am a friend. I won't hurt you." The words came out of his mouth without him realizing what he was saying. All he could do was to see if he would die in an instant or maybe the dragon actually could understand him on some level.
