"The animals are fine. Just misunderstood. Besides, the most dangerous animals don't live in the Forest, you have to go much further afield than the forest to see truly awesome creatures." Max tried to assure her. "And, should I ever end up in the Hospital Wing - which I don't plan to, for the record - then you will have the perfect opportunity to say 'I told you so'. Just like my mum." He joked, trying to lighten Prim up because he could see the worry. He didn't like the worry on her features, but unfortunately, worry would not be enough to keep Max from exploring.
As the rest of the conversation came to a close, Max looked down the hall and back the way they had come. "I'm thinking it's about time for dinner. Shall we head down before everyone else starts to rush?" Max asked, with a smile. Especially with Prim's limp, getting caught up in the hustle and bustle would not be a good idea.
