Ash smiled and moved her shirt back up. “It’s okay. I haven’t gotten anywhere with them since my captain told me about them. The dragon wings and runes are a mystery to everyone I guess…”

Scarlet moved and rested a hand on his shoulder, no drop of fear in her eyes. “Take a deep breath Carth and listen to me. You saved us yesterday. I would be dead if you hadn’t shifted. The city would be gone by now. Other may fear you but I know at least for me and Ash…we are happy to be with you and we aren’t going anywhere. Ash wasn’t scared when she came to your aid. She seemed…herself. Like she was finally where she belonged. Now I’m not sure what that means but I think you have nothing to worry about. When you shift again, we will be there to keep you safe and others…have the same faith in us that we have in you…okay?”
