Bayou had noticed the other teenager falling as soon as he slipped, and yelped out loud before pointing and waving his arms even though he knew Araluen couldn't see him properly. "Araluen! Araluen! That boy, he's falling! We have to help him!" he exclaimed, watching with wide eyes as the other dragoness dived for him. The sapphire dragon below him merely hummed, eyes glowing briefly before she shook her head.
"He will be fine." she said, coming to a hover so the two could watch on.
"What do you mean?!" Bayou cried, his voice frantic. "He's going to die!"
Araluen shook her head, before turning to look him in the eye. "Do you trust me?" Bayou fell silent, before nodding somewhat tentatively. "Then wait and see. Sometimes, it is best to not interfere."
As the dragoness caught the other rider, Bayou visibly relaxed, slumping forward and resting his head on his dragon's smooth scales as he heaved a sigh of relief. Araluen chuckled, before resuming their previous flight pace. "What did I tell you? I saw no future where he would not be caught by his dragon."
