Baron, feeling a bit uneasy under her intense gaze, cleared his throat, crouched down, and asked, "Hey there, little one, what's up?" Jessie flashed him a bright smile. "Sir you're amazing! You put out the fire!" The sudden compliment caught Baron off guard, leaving him momentarily stunned.

The other children chimed in, nodding their heads eagerly.
"Sir, you're all amazing! You put out the fire! You're our heroes!" The children's sincere eyes fixed on Baron, and he couldn't help but puff up with pride.
He glanced over at Braden, grinning. "See that? They calleda hero." Braden's face remained expressionless.
So childish! Jessie walked over to Braden and tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet, "Sir, you're awestoo! You're not even afraid of the fire. Are you a superhero?" "Yeah, are you a superhero? Only superheroes aren't afraid of fire!" "Superman isn't afraid of fire either!" Braden's mouth twitched slightly. Catching the look in Baron's eyes, he suddenly said, "I am a superhero." Baron was speechless.
When Aveline returned, she found Baron and Braden surrounded by the kids, all having a great ttogether. She was a bit surprised, and Zachary commented, "Looks like the children really like them."

Aveline, feeling a chill, crossed her arms and looked over at Baron and Braden. "Thank you both for everything. You should go and get srest now." Baron smiled and shook his head. "Mrs. Tudor, we're not tired. Mr. Tudor instructed us that until he gets back, we aren't to leave your side." Aveline paused for a moment and asked, "Where did he go?" Baron shook his head. "We're not sure about that." Lucas had left the previous night and hadn't returned since. It must have been something urgent.
Aveline didn't think much more about it and moved into one of the undamaged rooms to help the children settle in. Four rooms had been spared from the fire, so she arranged for the children to rest there..
She herself went to the classroom.
Sitting down in a chair, her head felt heavy, and she was clearly not in great shape.
Just then, she felt a warm coat drape over her shoulders.
Startled, Aveline looked up and met Zachary's concerned gaze.
