"I am glad you were not injured like Flora was in the Climb." His voice and gaze were both sober as he followed Remi's look to the violet-shot horizon, recalling the unhealing wound that had plagued the Doubletake far longer than it should have. He let his eyes linger there a little longer before he turned his attention back to the Lullaby, a pulse of agreement in the bond for the mental strain of Starfall's presence looming over them, far larger than the island's silhouette alone.
"I have heard no reports of other ventures there," he confirmed, tilting his head at Remi, with a flicker of tired amusement in his gaze. "Since yours." Poking the anemone to see if it stung, and finding that it did, indeed. They were all very lucky that Flora's fathers had escaped intact. "At least, none that have returned." Reports of people gone 'missing' could be the fault of echo sharks and sea panthers as easily as doomed attempts to scout the moon-island. "What is the island like? Did you see plants or animals?" Aside from the dragon they had been warned about.
