Sleeping Dragon death by numbers

The next few seconds happy quickly and she doesn’t focus on anyone for any length of time but a moment until everything manages to settle. Dio approaches, making his own confused expression, but he doesn’t speak—either he heard enough or waits for an explanation—and Freyja comes up a few seconds later. She doesn’t speak either, looking between the three of them, and her ears fall back against her head as she’d rather scoop the girl up and make it better.

And, should the answer be yes, she’ll ask, “when?”
