It's a two month old baby, Daud can't expect too much out of her! A sheltered baby, at that. For all that Shura isn't much of a nurturer, the dragon seems entirely comfortable with the situation, tugging at Shura's boot and reaching up with her forearms for another piece of fruit once she has the first swallowed. Shura gives her another piece.

Shura, though, doesn't quite know how to take what Daud says. He was the one who should have died, don't hold it against Billie. Her own student had always been able to pull himself out of trouble; she never had to do this for him. But this--

"Does she know you're here?"

Meanwhile, Aconite is still watching Daud, carefully trying to figure out just what his deal was. She waddles to him on her hind legs, holding her snack out to him. It's a very generous offer, one that she'll give in spite of Shura calling her name in low warning.
