Elysia sent Lith a message via the Dragon scales as well, asking her father to bring her close to Valeron. She grabbed one of the baby boy's hands and wrapped him with her wings, making him cry harder.
"Why is he crying, Uncle?" Lenart asked. "Is he hurt?"
"No, he is happy. Happy and scared of losing his new family like he lost his old one." Lith replied.
The children already knew a doctored version of Valeron's adoption and after meeting him, they considered the baby boy one of the Verhens no less than Elysia or Shargein.
They stood up and got closer to Valeron, speaking softly and reassuring him everything would be well. Alas, the infant understood their tone, not their words. He kept crying and clinging to Elysia and Lith tighter to be reassured by their Dragon scales.
