It was morning, Callum was sitting on the bed as Ezran woke up.

Ezran: Callum?

Callum: Hey, Ez.

Ezran: I had another weird dream. I was running from that giant hippo. The one made of taffy, remember?

Callum: Yeah?

Ezran: Only this time, there was someone riding on his back. It was the baker. The one who didn't like me.

Callum: Well, you do keep stealing his jelly tarts, so . . .

Ezran: He said I was wanted for crimes against dessert. And to make the hippo chase me, he told him I was jelly filled.

Callum: Ez-

Ezran puts his hands on his brother's shoulders, shaking him.

Ezran: I was a pastry fugitive, Callum! It was terrible! And the worst part was that he was right, I was delicious!

Callum smiled before telling him.

Callum: Wanna go for a walk?

He asked as the brothers went on a walk together.

Callum: So, Ezran, I wanted to talk to you about . . . life, and growing up. And how sometimes there are changes you don't expect.

Ezran: Is this the talk about where babies come from?

Callum: No, no it isn't. You're not old enough for that yet. So anyway, Ezran, I just want you to know that I love you very much. You've grown so much and I'm proud of you, baby brother. But when you grow up, sometimes you have to face things you're not ready for.

Ezran: I know.

This shocked Callum.

Callum: You know?

Ezran: Yeah, I know everyone's counting on me to teach Zym how to fly. But that's just the start. Someone's gonna have to teach him all the things he's supposed to do. Everything he's supposed to be. And he's meant to learn it all from a big, strong King of the Dragons. But he doesn't have that. I'm all he's got.

Callum puts a hand on his brother's shoulder.

Callum: Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, Ez. I know it'll be tough, but no matter what, you got us. Me, Rayla, Bait . . . we're all here for you, little buddy.

Ezran: Thanks Callum, that means allot. But I really wish dad was here. I keep wondering what he would do. What he would say to Zym. When I was little and I wasn't listening to him, dad would say "Ezran, you're a handful." So I tried to do the same with Zym. "Azymondias, you're a handful." But he doesn't understand. He doesn't even have hands. I guess I just miss dad. He'd know what to do, you know?

He said as tears began to form in Callum's eyes.

Ezran: Callum? What's wrong?

He asked as Callum wipes his tears away.

Callum: Nothing, Ez. I just really miss him too.

He said, giving Ez a hug.

Later that morning, Callum walked up to Rayla, who was sitting by herself at a stone table. He took a seat, facing away from the table.

Callum: I couldn't do it . . . I couldn't tell him.

Rayla: Callum . . .

Callum: I understand why you couldn't tell me. When you care about someone, it's hard to hurt them. Even if what you're telling them is the truth.
