Noah's shoulders sank a bit in relief, and he smiled at Lily with a nod. "Thanks, Lily," he murmured. She'd take care of him, too. They'd take care of each other. No matter how dire the situation was, they had to help each other.
He took a breath and patted Opal's shoulder while Lily went to pick up Nobu. And when she came back and set the dragon down, he offered the dragon his hand with a smile. "H - hey, buddy. Nobu. You want some pets? Huh?"
Once Nobu had decided one way or the other, Noah wrapped his free arm around Lily and glanced over at Opal and Grandpa Jenkins. ". . . Opal? Do you need anything?"
Opal winced and shook his head, burying himself further against Grandpa Jenkins' chest. He couldn't have what he needed. His parents were gone. And he remembered everything - the poison in the cups, the dragon and rider that had attacked them, the screams . . .
What he really wanted was for everything to go numb for a bit so his head would stop pounding.
"Yes, I see that now," Axle said with a nod. He'd had no idea who was with Jasper, if anyone, when he started out. But he hadn't had the time to think about that in the event Jasper was in danger.
Still, he was glad he'd come out to keep him company until the police arrived, at least. He leaned further against the tree and scratched Chaital's chin. "I'll take your word for it," he murmured once Jasper had described the situation. "But if they really are Opal's parents . . . Are they recognizable? If not, Opal may have to come identify them." It made him queasy, talking about the murder so lightly, but he had to keep his composure like he always did. Too many people needed him.
