Arielle tried to calm Arthur to stop crying. She didn't know what Maxieno had done to make it difficult for the man to calm himself down. After trying to open her line of communication with Ronan earlier, Arielle also became afraid. She couldn't imagine the horror that Maxieno had done to Arthur.
Arthur was still crying, and Arielle immediately pulled her hand away from the man. There was something she had to do right now.
First, Arielle had to talk to Maxieno. She also made a note not to challenge the dragon after the incident where Maxieno almost burned all of her hair.
After that, Arielle would continue her search for the red snowdrop flower. Otis said he knew the location of that flower. The flower was most likely protected by the werewolf clan, and after Arielle listened to Arthur's lengthy explanation earlier, she was increasingly convinced that the werewolf clan had the key to releasing Amadea's curse on King Theodore's descendants.
