Ava smiled at her father when he said he would have done the same thing and that she was probably every bit as stubborn as he was when he was her age. That made her feel a little better about all this, and while she till felt bad for worrying him, she guessed that's just what parents did. They worried about their kids whether they were in real danger or not. She just wasn't used to it quite yet. While she did have her memories back, especially the memories about how much her parents had cared and protected her, she had still spent the majority of her life living in a village where the people she thought were her parents had cared little to nothing about her safety. So, having parents now who would not only worry about her in such a way, but also put themselves in that same danger to save her. It would take a while more before that feeling of surprise they would actually do that for her settled.

She hugged her father back tightly, laughing along with him, "I missed you to dad." The fact that he stated she could never disappoint him, well, it meant the world to her. After most of her spent constantly disappointing those around her, that unconditional acceptance was something would definitely cherish. 

She watched as her father stood and nodded with a smile, looking up at the sky as well. The stars were shining brightly, the moon full, "Yeah, it is a good night for a flight. Maybe me and Blizzard will go out flying before bed." She watched him walk off and when he joined in with the crowd of people she stood up herself, walking over to where Blizzard was speaking with the others and he didn't look too happy. She managed to hear the remark about eating whatever looked appealing and knew that thing certainly were going downhill as far as him socializing went. She laughed nervously as she approached, "I think that's enough chatting Brandt. I think this cool air might be getting to you." Without, she took him by the arm and looked to the others, "Where he was from it was very warm, so the chill makes him grumpy. I'm going to take him inside for now." 

And with that, she dragged the dragon boy off, holding back her laugh as she whispered to him, "You're not too threatening in this form, Blizzard. That, and I think those too might just be too dense to know what a threat is." Leading him back to their house, she walked inside, "Let's go for a flight, huh? It's pretty clear weather tonight. Might be fun."
