[ Cain does let go now that it's been pointed out, but only after giving Arjuna's shoulder one last, friendly pat. ]

[ Because with the Natha, that was a thing that Cain could all too easily see happening. Sure, a real, live dragon might have been nice for an exhibit, part of the wild life display... but the moment it got loose, it'd be up to the refugees to deal with the trouble, the Natha wouldn't be lifting a hand to corral the creature safely back to its cage themselves. ]
