After one glimpse of that giant judge he kept his arms folded and a neutral expression, like he was about to say something poignant, but after opening his mouth he closed it again and suddenly bolted back in the direction they came from.

He ran back and grabbed Phoenix's arm (WHAT A PAL) this time before he fled, but that magic dream door wouldn't open again (NOT A PAL).
