The dragon's face grew to a scowl, and she shook her head. "Humans... You, with the large head, no I have not heard of 'Spyro'. It is a ridiculous name for a dragon... Now you, girl. I will only say this once. Do not trifle with me. I am greater than many mortals combined. My life has glossed over 200[footnote]According to the Drakengard game booklet, the dragon is said to have lived about 10,000 years. Calculating that Medieval Britain citizens lived to be about 40, I got 250 lifespans. It's just a guess though, so I could be off...[/footnote] of your human lives, and I still have room to live; my strength alone could crush you, if I had not burned you first. Furthermore, if I chose a monkier for myself, would I not have considered whether or not it offends me? I am no pet, and I expect to be treated as equal, if not moreso, to you humans. Do I make myself clear?"
Caim rolled his eyes as the dragon ranted, and lightly facepalmed. "You do realize this is a child, right?"
"I care not! She needs a lesson in humility. See, this is one thing I miss from our realm. Humans had some respect for greater beings then."
"Oh yeah, the Empire had a lot of respect for you..."
"The Empire payed dearly for their lacking. Remember, who helped you dismantle it?"
"...You did. But you still needed my help!"
The internal squabbling continued after "Red" had finished her rant to Kagome, and she could see cross looks on both the man's and dragon's faces as they fought in their minds. If one could hear them, they might have remarked that they sounded like an old married couple.

Yeaa.... I forgot to mention, the dragon has her share of pride as well. Especially in comparing humans to herself.
