Unfortunately for Cara, Karl was paying attention to her thoughts, and the moment that she stepped out of the Tiny World and into the apartment, she found him standing there with Anilla, waiting for her to appear.
"Going somewhere? Why don’t you come with me instead? I will help you get what you needed, and we can show this curious young dragon how to give a proper apology to an angry mother."
Yewan frowned. "{That sounds dangerous, but I don’t sense imminent violence.}"
"That’s why you need to learn. Trust me, violence happens if you do it wrong."
That sounded promising to Yewan. If his god had faith that Karl knew how to navigate this situation without dying, then this was something that he needed to know. It was all about keeping the order, the balance between life and death.
But who knew that mothers could be so scary?
He didn’t have much experience with them, but even Nachtia, the highest ranking of black dragons in the nest, wasn’t intending to kill them. Or perhaps the danger was if you stole one of the hatchlings without warning?
Was that what the woman thought they did with the Elf hatchling?
If that was the case, then he could totally see why there was a real danger of them being attacked by the angry mother dragon. Or was she a dragon? Probably an Elf, right? Anilla was an Elf.
Or was it Shade’s mother they were apologizing to?
There were so many things that he didn’t know yet, and all of them needed to be quantified and organized so that he could make proper risk assessments. How could anyone function without knowing the danger level of the things they were doing?
Sure, he liked to escape from the nest, but that was definitely a low-risk activity.
Besides, he usually went to where Karl was anyhow, and Karl was a safe zone.
And that was how Cara got roped into going with Karl and the Elf to show Yewan a bit more of how the world worked. Not that they had to go far.
Elder Xiao Bai was waiting at the door with a thunderous look on her face, having tracked her daughter to the apartment, which she couldn’t enter with the extra barriers on it.
And where nobody was answering the door.
"Sorry about that, Elder. We can’t hear the front door from the training area. Would you like some breakfast? I do apologize for taking time out of your day." Karl began.
Those sounded like good words to Yewan, but the one called Elder wasn’t looking any happier.
Moms were a high difficulty challenge.
"I should be able to project sound into the Illusion behind you without any issues." The Elder noted.
"And, I would note that while the tracking spell definitely says you have three Elders in here, I don’t sense any of them in the room."
"They’re helping me with the training area." Karl explained.
"You do understand that you cannot keep humans as pets, yes?" The Elder asked sarcastically.
"{The Death God only said that he can’t have a baby dragon.}" Yewan offered helpfully, not understanding the issue.
