‘Curiosity killed the cat’ was what the winged boy wanted to say in response to Dawn’s rather reckless decision, but decided against it. Of course, Dawn would likely still hear this comment against his wishes, but at the very least he figured she had learned to appreciate when people decided to keep comments to themselves. 

His silver gaze trailed over to Lucas and lingered for a moment, looking him up and down as if trying to gauge if he passed some imaginary checklist. There was a bit of hesitation, Drake’s undying caution remaining as persistent as ever. He did find Lucas’ emphasis of the word ‘friend’ a bit odd, but had decided not to comment.
