Seeing that the hunting party wasn't getting any larger, Zaya carefully set the baby dragon back down, pulled out the crossbow she hadn't even bothered with while fighting the dragon, and left with Rozenn and Grok.

Zaya looked over Rozenn's note for a while, and did the three-eyed equivalent of furrowing one's brow. "It's... Hm. Not going to pretend this is... all a good thing. It's a lot to process. Thought we'd have more time before. You know. The hatching."
She stared off into the woods for a few seconds, as if she'd be lucky enough to spot a deer or something. She wasn't. The woods around a dragon's lair were always pretty barren of large animal life. "Still. Yes. Dragons are... different. Very different. And yet. Mentally? More similar than you'd think. Not so alien that a dragon raised by mortals is doomed. A dragon might do it better - if we can find a benevolent one who. Actively wants to raise children. No guarantees."
Zaya considered more, and sighed. "Either way. Crueler for them to not be raised at all. As for our own lives... You aren't wrong. Things will change if you accept. Dramatically. But life always finds ways to change dramatically. But usually... shit just happens. Usually you don't have this much control over it. You aren't obligated to take on such a. Big responsibility. But you aren't doomed if you do."
