The discussion doesn't exactly seem to answer where the River Dragon stands on the whole 'being a parent' thing, at least not to Lambert's satisfaction, but an ally's an ally ... more or less.

"You said you feel responsible," he says abruptly, staring at the River Dragon, searching that inhuman visage for ... he doesn't even know. Something to confirm his crazed conspiracy theories, mostly. "Why? It's not like you're the one who got her caught." His tail lashes, agitated.
"Or are you talking about how the Hunstman got his hands on the Red Beast?" Wait. Fuck. Red wings, and talons? Incredulity makes the witcher's voice cracks a little as he raises it, fists balling at his sides.
"Did the Red Beast get caught trying to save the Ringmaster?!" Because the River Dragon wouldn't help? Or didn't care? He doesn't bother voicing the accusation, but he doesn't think he needs to.
