[Maybe Atsushi shouldn't have so much faith that this will turn out all right, but he sees no reason not to. The Natha said they'd handle the dragon, so they will. Even if there's been some damage to the city, Atsushi doesn't think it will be nearly as bad as it could have been. And if the refugees can do something for the Natha while they take care of the dragon, going to that other city, then that seems fair enough.]
The leaders will be fine, but I'm sure that there are some in Olympia who will use this as proof that Wyver will always be unruly.
I wonder how the story could be told in a way that limits the damage...
[It's not like the Natha will take public credit, presumably? So how the eventual defeat of the dragon is told will be important for the political future of the planet.]
