Aggression
Heron does not respond passively when a dragon flies in and drops dead meat on the path to Grabon’s nest. Not only does he take it poorly that the strange dragon is insulting and challenging Grabon, but his mate and Hanna were on that path when the meat fell from the sky. It was only Gordon’s shield that prevented an accident. By the time Heron is allowed to confront the newcomer, he is so angry he blasts his head.
