The longer Cal remained in this room with these people who would not listen or could not understand each other, the more his own temper would start to flare. He clenched and unclenched his hands, his eyes refusing to shift back to their human golden brown. The dragon remained on alert, watching them all as they decided their fate and the books’. 

Nicky bowed out of helping Cal once his twin offered instead. At least that would keep Nicholas safe. And for a task like this, Barty seemed to have more time to give no quarter. However, accepting Barty’s help felt unsettling. 

[color=#B22222]”You are mistaken if you think this book poses the greatest threat to you and your brother. Need I remind you there is someone here who knows a name to call your brother that not even [i]I[/i] have been privileged to know? Perhaps you should get your affairs in order before worrying about mine.”[/color]

Cal felt the pressure of a warmer body against his form, and he tilted his head up to see his little moth leaning into him. However, she started to pull away. 

Cal gently grasped Willow's forearm before letting it go. [color=#B22222]”Before you leave, you wished to tell me something. Can you tell me now?”[/color] Cal's eyes flicked to Willow's injured arm. Although it was healed now, he could still picture the ice shard in her arm. [color=#B22222]”Or should we wait until later?”[/color]

Willow paused softly as Cal spoke and grasped her forearm. She thought for a moment. [color=#CCCCFF]”Oh. Now is fine. I cracked the egg, and well… it was abnormal. I am going to have to bathe in that moonlight water. You asked to know, and I wasn’t sure if it was something I should say in front of the others. However after everything that has happened, it seems… so insignificant.”[/color] She chuckled softly as she relaxed into his touch. [color=#CCCCFF]”Do you wish to join me for the bath?”[/color]

Something in Cal's chest squeezed when he heard Willow's egg had been abnormal. As much as he had teased the night before, today's events had sobered him. 

[color=#B22222]”Not so insignificant. Perhaps the two were more related than we thought. Inform the professor since you are going to see them again. And yes, I would join you if you would have me. I fear we both will need it after the day's events.”[/color] Cal kissed Willow's forehead. [color=#B22222]”I already charged Nick with your well-being and Cassie's, but would you mind keeping your Luna's eyes on her for me as well?”[/color]

Willow nodded softly and relaxed as he kissed her forehead. [color=#CCCCFF]”Of course. She is a dear friend to me as well. I’ll talk to the professor as well. But perhaps you are right, it might not be so insignificant.”[/color] She gently pet Luna and offered him a small smile.

Cal returned Willow's smile, offering one to Luna as well before he released her. [color=#B22222]”I will come find you once my task is done.”[/color]

He turned to leave when he heard his name called.
