All Astien could do in response was blink. He knew about the Other realm, but what Darol was describing... that was not the Other realm. Which could only mean... "*gasp* You must be from an undiscovered realm!" Astien exclaimed. Clearly, he was excited by this prospect. Dathulas, however, was not. "A new realm? No, he cannot be here. This is a risk to our security." Astien's excitement quickly faded into fear. "Well, i-it's not like he chose to be here, I'm sure!" He blurted. All this new excitement had his baby all riled up as it began kicking furiously. Astien rubbed his belly, but it did nothing. "Besides, think of what we can learn from him!" Dathulas looked at Darol, then Astien, then Darol again. "Hmmm....." "Not to mention," Astien stated, "He hasn't shown any sign of violence. We have no reason to assume he's hostile." Dathulas remained silent, thinking on what Astien said.
Astien was growing desperate. If Dathulas reported to the other dragons that Darol was a threat... who knew what would happen. That his baby refused to stop moving wasn't helping his agitation. "Here, think of it this way: the Others weren't a threat. They were the first from their realm to cross over, and they were... well, they saved us! What would have happened if we had assumed they were a threat?" Dathulas said nothing, continuing to hum. Astien rubbed his belly faster, in part to calm the baby, and to calm himself.
"Very well," the dragon sighed. "You plead for his defense, then he will be your responsibility. You will show him around our realm, show him our people and our lands, and help him understand why we must be cautious. I will report to the others. If we should have need of you, we will summon you to Dragonperch mountain. Understood?" Astien nodded quickly. Dathulas turned to Darol and said "I have nothing against you, strange thing; I simply wish to see to the safety of this realms denizens. We have been hurt by the Other realm before. You will follow Astien in his travels and defer to his judgement. Do you understand, strange thing?"
