If you post before she gets captured, you can say you want to take her back being a teen and such. Walk out to get her, and attempting to get her claimed gets captured with her too.

Well that is if you want. And no fear of using some NPC to your needs.

Chu:...b-but I still made you cry and run out. You should be proud of your dragon powers.

me: well they wouldnt be hunters, or at least alive hunters if they were so easily defeated.They surely figth a dragon or two before. And you are in a emotional sensitive state, at the moment, dear dragon. You sure you have your magic 100% in grip darling?

OOh just random plot idea, but what if when you try to fight the hunters you get a flashback of memories you lost? It could be a good turning point for showing vulnerability to end you up captured.
