Erastan saw Astriana moving towards his blue and suddenly he was fully on his feet and running. Determined to put himself between the girl and his dragon who had automatically recoiled when Astriana approached. Pushing himself up sohe was in a half sit. His front half upright while his bum hovered an inch from the ground, ready to bolt. "Get away from us then." Erastan growled,skidding to a graceless holt in just the right spot. Blocking her off from the young blue who was looking skittishly between the two teenagers, dancing between his two front legs like a spooked runner.
He knew he made it harder for Erastan to bond with other people, that his mind was always on protecting and shielding him first. He loved him for it. And althrough he could not help his instincts he wished he had managed to stay still and calm in that moment. Now he knew he had only made things worse.

Erastan picked up the meat and tossed it to the side. out into the middle of the large swimming lake. "He doesn't want it either. The fishes can have it." he told her, making sure he was the firm block and barrier between the pair until the girl eventually left.
When he examined his own mental thought process and actions he knew that he had not really thought the girl was about to hurt Aspalath but even if she had tried to touch him an Aspalath had panicked and tried to run he could have ended up hurting himself. It was not worth the risk.
