“We’ll be friends now?” Alessio said, and Nathair’s crystal blue eyes skated across the room suspiciously. “They’re nice people, they won’t hurt you.”

Nathair’s eyes narrowed at him dully, his face turning…unnatural like plaster, stretching tight.

“I…I know,” Alessio gently tugged him upright. “Come on…”

Nathair tensely rose a little, and glanced at Leana warily, but a little less warily, still very sulkily and anxiously.

Sage suddenly realized his error. Perhaps asked if he was a non-human wasn’t such a good idea. Mother often said that humans sometimes struggled to get along with non-humans and sometimes hurt them. Could he have been hurt.

Saga suddenly became rather anxious, fidgeting with his hands. “Uhhmmm… Sorry about that. I didn’t know…”

Oh, what should he do? How was he supposed to say sorry? “Uhhh… Do you like butterflies?”

Using aether, Sage formed orange butterflies, letting them fly around the room. Surely, he liked butterflies.

“What about flowers? Mother liked flowers.” Sage asked, formed white flowers made of aether.

“THE SPIDER’S FREE!!!” Saga shrieked like his life was in danger.

Sage didn’t know why Saga did that. It was just a spi….der. It was bigger now. Like, a lot bigger. Like, about as big as a lampshade.

Possibly attracted to his loud shouting, the spider followed after Saga.

“No… No! Stop!” Saga screamed desperately.

“Saga, you should probably stop shouting. I think the spider is following you because of the noise you’re making…”

HE JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW!!!

Sage rushed to the window, looking outside. He… landed safely. Oh, right. Dragon scales. Yes, that comes in handy.
