Talking to the children and explaining the arrangements went better than Riley expected, especially after he gave them treats.
It was the unusually magical flan. The moment it appeared, both Orien and Kael raised their brows in unison.
They're seriously related. Wow.
Still, considering the earlier tearful event that the little dragon couldn't handle—because apparently, tears were worse than magical attacks—Riley decided to let it pass. Orien had been hiding behind Liam once the waterworks started, muttering that crying was far too dangerous to be allowed.
So, when the flan was finally served, both legendary dragons decided to "share" it. Not that all the flan had been made for them, but since when did dragons ever care about details like that? Still, they survived the ordeal—and the day ended without anything catching fire or exploding.
That alone felt like a miracle.
After that, all that remained were the final matters to settle.
