That's very weird but there's probably a reason. There usually is.

She's briefly tempted to go find a cave by herself anyways but under the circumstances that would almost certainly be a mistake. Instead, she winds her way up the path.

"I'll do better next time."

"I know.

"Thank you for being there for him, even if it wasn't enough."

He wraps his wing around her. They sit there in silence for a while longer.
