Right before my eyes

I looked directly into the Dragon's deep, blue eyes. All the while, my finger continued to point at its cursed wound. 

"Cut it," I said those words in a plain tone as if this matter didn't concern me. Yet, at the same time, I kept a slightly worried... and curious look on my face. 

The Dragon slowly blinked its eyes. It was also when I realized it had a lizard-like double eyelid. One of those was whiteish and half-transparent, serving only to moisturize its eyeballs. 

I lowered my hand and took a step back, giving the Dragon some room to move around. 

Since we weren't fighting and I foolishly believed my intentions reached the Dragon's mind, there was a chance it was simply worried about hitting me if I stood too close. 

'That, or it still hopes to recover some more strength before restarting the fight,' I thought as a sour smile crept up to my lips. 

I took a step back...

And the Dragon finally moved.
