Oh. It was apparently a grumpy Charizard. Falcon had dealt with Char enough to know what a giant angry lizard looked like, and Sasha's threatening display got the message across (he was kind of flashbacking to those mating displays on the roof--leftover Blaziken instincts or something). Geez, did everyone think he was out to kill the school or something?

Of course, Falcon's first thought was not "hey maybe I should put the chainsaw down". He didn't want a fight, but the Captain was certainly not intimidated and certainly wasn't going to back down. He stood his ground and raised his right hand slightly, making eye contact and staring intensely, indicating that he would not be daunted.

Still, he didn't move forward, and waited to see if the dragon was going to attempt an attack.
