"N-N-Nothing! The ball just acted up on its own!" He wasn't lying, he didn't touch the ball's button or anything when he's taking a good look at it. He even panics at the the thought that he just returned his potential dragon friend back into her cramped home.

But just as he panics even further, Augustine realizes something. He accidentally released Modeste when he pressed the button on the capsule ball, so maybe it will happen again? Without any second thoughts, he pressed the said button and lo and behold, the ball pops open to release a white energy, which transforms into the same dragon they saw as she just wonders what just happen.

The sight of the dragon made him sigh in relief now that she's back. "Thank goodness, you're back. I'm so sorry about that Modeste..."

The dragon is somehow a little annoyed at what happened, but she growled without any animosity after Augustine apologized.
