Paige
To be fair, she doesn't know that he won't die, but she's going to choose to think that he won't. That they won't. If only because it's the better thought of the two. No one wants to think they're going to die! Even if being chased down by a molten tiger is a crazy way to go. They're just kids and it's way too soon for their stories to be done. Just trust me, Ever. I told you I'd keep you safe, right?" Sure they were just chased by a giant tiger that wanted to eat them for lunch and they were currently hiding in a log, but technically the girl had kept her word. He wasn't hurt. Just scared.
She goes back to watching, in awe of the stranger who simply walks away with the tiger as if they're best friends, taking the danger with her. A sigh of relief is palpable along the Attuned bond and she ducks back inside, standing up on her hind legs in front of him. She's small enough to do that without her head even reaching the top of the log. It's really safe. I promise. We can wait in here though if you want. I don't mind.
Her voice is just as bright as always, but there is a softer edge to it and if she were to be human right now there would surely be a kind smile on her lips. Paige inches closer, returning to his side to curl up with him, willing to wait as long as he'd like before they venture out again. You know, it was really brave what you did. Barking at it and everything to try and distract it. She offers quietly, a sweet sort of awe trickling along the bond, warm and fuzzy just like her fur. He might not be a fighter and he might not be bold, but she still thought he was something for doing that.

Love you to the moon and to Saturn
Passed down like folk songs, the love lasts so long
