[For an enterprising young dragoon, getting their spear caught in the body of a live dragon might have been considered a worst-case scenario. Estinien can't help but think on his training as Howl seizes hold of his spear, remembering how important it had been for a dragoon to remain mobile. He'd seen less experienced dragoons fall to such traps, torn apart while unable to retrieve their weapons.
It triggers an instinctive reaction in him. Rather than let his weapon go, he moves to kick Howl in the face, only to unfold his own wings a moment later. He reasons that the resistance caused by this should be enough to jerk him and his spear free of Howl, though not in as messy a way as he had initially planned.
Howl is more like fighting a dragon than he thought he would be, in this form. Aren't birds supposed to be fragile?]
