The sudden outburst woke Abbán, who, upon seeing the dragoness, started cowering and crying.
"W-why are we h-here?" He asked, referring to the cave. After the incident a few weeks ago, he seemed to develop a large fear of dragons, or, at least, certain dragons. Jy'aad quickly tried to comfort the boy, using a trick he'd use with his younger sister when she was upset or scared.
"Look, Seh'lvah, to be completely honest, your little stunt the other day scared the boy shitless. He's had quite a few nightmares, and now he's inclined to run away at the first sight of a dragon. Is this really what you'd want for any child? In fact, doesn't it contradict the very principles that this colony was founded on?" Jy'aad asked, still trying to keep Abbán from running away.
