"Ignis! Calm down!" Irithel called out, her voice firm yet gentle.
Ignis, recognizing Irithel's voice, turned its head slightly but remained on high alert, its eyes still locked on the boy.
Adrian quickly assessed the situation, his mind racing. He approached the boy carefully, keeping his movements slow and non-threatening. "Hey, it's okay. Just take a deep breath," he said, trying to calm the boy down. "Can you tell us what happened?"
The boy glared at Adrian, tears of frustration and pain in his eyes. "That monster attacked me! I was just trying to pet it, and it burned me! Kill it quickly!"
'You are brave boy, it didn't even let me touch itself, yet you... Sigh...'
Adrian glanced at Irithel, who was already moving closer to Ignis. "Ignis wouldn't attack without a reason," she said, her voice steady.
"You heard her," Adrian looked at the boy again. "Are you sure you didn't do anything to make it angry?"
