Yeah, I never meant to insinuate that it would've been something done in a short amount of time. Kogarashi himself is quite old, predating the Shinigami 'n' what, I imagined it would take somewhere around a thousand years or more to get where he did with Kumomashōjun. As for the dragon's goal, so far, I'd seen it that as he's in a different dimension, one where, while he can still exert his influence over the skies rather easily, the world favours a preset course and will often attempt to reverse whatever he's done, no matter how insignificant it might be. Its a world that doesn't require Dragons for its survival.

Kogarashi's defining trait is his tenacity to the point of being (almost literally) suicidal. He wouldn't so much take the threat of a Dragon in stride as he would actively poke at it with a stick. While he's not an outwardly malicious individual, he can't take no for an answer. He wants to talk to Kumomashōjun, he's going to talk to Kumomashōjun. He wouldn't have avoided his anger so much as he would've taken it and kept going (With something along the lines of "You can kill me, but I'll just run right through the cycle of reincarnation and be back, I might forget me, but I won't forget you" or "You can turn me to stone and I'll just learn to speak as the earth does"). Whether anyone would agree or not, a Dragon is ultimately taking the goading of a lesser being and stooping to their level by proxy, and I would figure that Kumomashōjun would stop once he realized it, and perhaps acquiese to something as simple as a conversation. The creature's bitterness is caused by losing a connection; an attachment to someone else. Kogarashi is an insignificant existence to a Dragon, true, but persistence in the face of being frozen in stone or cursed with desolated fortunes that would ruin his life materially and come dangerously close to ending it physically has to award some points.
