Baldewin barely fought the urge to pull Tori into his arms as the jet taxied along the runway to the hangar where they would be met by a horde of dragons and a handful of worried mages. Tori had woken easily from his sleep and immediately started checking on Cassie, even though he might have asked Baldewin to confirm at least twice that they were firmly on the ground.

Cassie had suffered no problems during the flight, and her color continued to improve. She was clearly on the mend, but everyone would feel better when she was safe at home.

With nothing left to do, Tori sat stiffly in a chair, his leg bouncing while he gripped the arms of the chair tight enough to make his knuckles white. This was not about flying or being in a plane. Baldewin suspected this was about meeting a bunch of dragons and mages. Tori was about to be thrown into the deep end of the pool.

Baldewin had hoped he’d be able to introduce him to the clan slowly, ease him into a crowd of dragons and excited mages.

“They are going to adore you,” Baldewin murmured.

A nervous laugh left Tori, and he shook his head. “I think I’m going to be the least of their concerns.” His smile was crooked when he looked over at Baldewin. “While I would never wish harm on Cassie, it is nice of her to take the focus off me.”

Baldewin smirked back at him. “Cassie does like to be the center of attention, but I don’t think she would approve of this. I get the impression she’s fond of you already, and I’m sure she’s going to be frustrated that she can’t be the one to introduce you to everyone.”

“I’m happy to put all that on hold until she’s on her feet again.” Tori’s eyes strayed from him to Sasha as she carefully lifted Cassie into her powerful arms and carried her to the front of the plane. They’d stopped rolling at last, and Warin was working on getting the door open.

Sucking in a deep breath, Tori leaned toward the window to look out. A strange, strangled noise left him, and he straightened again quickly. Baldewin shifted in his seat to look out the window and nearly chuckled at the sight. More than a dozen people were standing just beyond the plane waiting for them. The one face he was glad to see was Ravi. If Cassie couldn’t be awake to help smooth everything over for Tori, then Ravi was an excellent second choice. He would do a great job of taking Tori’s mind off everything.

“Don’t worry too much about introductions. The main focus will be getting you to the castle and settled. We’ll worry about the rest later.”

Tori flashed him a weak smile. “Thanks. It would be nice to just relax for a little while. Though, I’m sure King Alric and the others would like the full details of what we know.”

“We’ll get there. We’ve got some time now that we’re home.
