[It makes sense; he's the larger and therefore the easiest target to hit.
Vanitas should end it, there. He should just turn and leave the other dragon to flounder back to the ground. After all, he'd been nothing but a nuisance, and what was it to him if someone who could grow into a more challenging opponent died?
And at first, it's a difficult decision to make. Part of him does say to just turn and cut his losses, and it's tempting to listen. He hesitates, unsure.
But another part of him knows that even if he's annoying, Ven is young. He may be a goldscale, too, but he hadn't done anything to deserve death. So at the last second, Vanitas alters his flight path and pumps his wings in a sudden burst of speed.
His claws come out as he reaches the other and intersects him, paws reaching and grasping the other about the sides. The smaller dragon may get some nicks and scratches in the process, but it's better than having a metal spike in the throat. And as soon as he has him in his grip, Vanitas falls to the side, feinting and spinning before his wings pump again in another burst back towards the treeline.]
