As his best friend, Petro had been one of the first to enter Sheridan's thoughts, and thus it was not Petro the dragon was currently searching for. He had to find his friend, to assure himself that the horse was, at least physically, okay. All that had happened, all they had seen, had Petro felt the same fate as him? Did he even want to know?
For a moment his eyes closed tightly, a shudder breaking his steps as he walked through the monster dorms in search of his friend's room. He tried not to think, to stop the flood of memories, to concentrate on his current task. He didn't want to think, didn't want to remember. He knew he couldn't run, that he couldn't suppress it forever, but for now, now he only wanted to find his friends. Couldn't they just be together in peace for a little while?
Reaching the door, Sheridan raised one hand to knock on the door. The knock was perhaps a bit louder, a bit more forceful than he had intended, fueled by a sense of desperation and dread. Oh please be there, please be alive...
"Petro! It's Sheridan, you there?"

The dragon's tail twitched, Petro hadn't answered, why hadn't he answered? A wave of sudden panic and horror hit him. Where was his friend? What had happened? What if...what if it hadn't been a dream after all? What if Petro hadn't made it back, was he about to wake up and suddenly find himself back there--nonononononono! Please answer the door, please be okay...
He shook, trying to pull himself from those thoughts. Get a grip, Sheridan, he's probably just out somewhere. Maybe he was just-- Sheridan turned suddenly, the sound of the familiar voice catching his attention.
"I..."
Overwhelming relief, Sheridan stepped forward to seize his friend in a firm embrace. He was here, they were both here, both alive, and (at least physical) unharmed. Did he dare believe this was really real, that it wasn't the dream and the nitemare reality?
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
And by 'see how you were doing', he really meant 'assure himself you (and everyone else) were alive'.

Sheridan gave his friend a nod followed by a shrug. He understood, he himself was struggling to cope, hardly daring to sleep, uncomfortable indoors for more than short periods of time. He seemed he had taken to spending most nights on the roof again, staring up at the stars, afraid to let himself drift in to sleep, to fall back into the nitemare.
"I'm okay..."
Physically he was at least. He was alive, he was intact, he had no lasting visible scars.
"Do you wanna...do something?"
He supposed they could both use a distraction. Sheridan of course placed no blame on Petro, he was not to blame for anything that happened, in truth no such thought had ever occurred to Sheridan. To Sheridan all blame rested solely on the ones who had put them there in the first place, the horsemen. If Sheridan had realized that Petro blamed himself...well he'd have kicked his a**!

!!!
He had been completely caught off guard, having not expected such a sudden start to the match. His head shook, ow that had been a hard hit. Alright then, let's do this.
His dropped his pin to the ground, immediately shifting into his natural form. It was clear he had changed since their last battle, he had grown. He was larger than he had been, his length from nose to tail now over 30 feet, perhaps approaching 40.
Oh, but that was not the only way he had grown. No, as Petro was about to find out, ice was no longer the dragon's only trick. His head reared back, jaws parted, unleashing a blast of super-heated plasma fire. Let's start things off with a bang!

The dragon growled, snapping his jaws at Tro as he moved within range. Perhaps the snap had been meant primarily as intimidation, a warning that getting in too close was not advisable. Or maybe he had just missed, he needed to stay focused.
His wings spread, a heavy beat, and a leap skyward. But he wasn't staying in one place, his focus was not in staying out of range as it had been in the past. No, now he circled overhead, diving, and then climbing again, hoping to keep Petro guessing, to keep him on his guard, and to make himself more difficult to catch.
