Everyone held their breath as the spike end of the dragon's tail narrowly swung past the little child, missing by a mere few inches. Even Ferrum stilled, fun clutched in hand as he stared at the stunned child. His crying stopped as he was yanked back and left staring at where he had nearly died. There was a deep silence hanging over both groups, at least until more tears glistened in the dragon's lilac eyes and he burst out into tears. Wailing loudly and struggling in Leo's arms, small puffs of gas escaping his body as he cried. Perhaps realizing just how close he had been to ending himself. How scary it had been to have that spiked death orb near impale his head. 

 Tears flowing freely down his face as he vocalized his distress. Leo stared down dumbfounded at the crying child, holding him an arms length away. The dragon in another one of his unusual panics, that was quickly becoming increasingly common, turned to the Hyrdras and called out frantically, "Noire! How do I make it stop crying?" 

 It didn't take long for Sanare to stomp over and snatch the crying dragon away from the hydra, "Give him to me! You're scaring him and you don't know how to take care of a child." The usually calm dragoness snapped at him, cradling the hollering Sleipnir close. She cradled the child against her chest and rocked him, whispering soothing words to calm him down. Coughing slightly as he continued to puff out smoke stacks, "Hush, hush, you're safe now. No need to worry. Shh..." 

 Eventually, his wails dwindled down into gasping sobs and then into soft sniffles as he felt Sanare's cooling fingertips run across his forehead. Soothing down the burning heat that made him squirm uncomfortably before. He buried his face against her bosom and whimpered softly as he tangled his hands in her long aquamarine hair, mumbling into her skin, "I want my Daddy. I want Father...I don't wanna have to go anywhere anymore." And she rocked him, nodded softly to the requests of a child until he turned and stared over tearfully at Skylark who still had Leo clinging to him. 

 And the groups were back into a staring contest with one another until Blizzard finished off her cookie and began to fumble around for another treat, piping up in the meanwhile, "Where is Edge anyway? I haven't seen him since...well since you trapped me in crystal!" She growled the last part accusingly at Ferrum before stuffing another cookie in her mouth. The metal dragon making her near choke and jump when he aimed his gun at her next. Mellowed out by the sudden turn of events, but still irritated at being held down like he was.

 The silence that followed only interrupted by Sleipnir's grumbling tummy and his little tug at Sanare's sleeve, asking softly, "Can I have some food, I forgot to have breakfast or lunch..or dinner..."
