They hasten their pace but wear cautious looks, wary of anything that has to do with the Cwyld. This is the first time in a while that Soren finds relief in the sight of them. The Dragon tries to look as unhostile as possible so there is no confusion as to who is the real problem, dropping his clawed hand from his coat and stepping further back from the offending Cwyld victim.]

It looks like we're about to really be saved.
