Heartwarming / Nice Dragons Finish Last

• Despite all of Justin's complaints, he is surprisingly close to Julius. Notable is his introduction—no one ordered him to help Julius, he just knew that Julius was in the DFZ, so when he found a plane ticket he jumped on without a second thought.
• Speaking of which, there is Marci's phone call with Bethesda. Though she doesn't realize it, she's seconds away from death for daring to speak casually to the Heartstriker, and Julius can't move. Justin grabs the phone and makes excuses for Marci, saving her life. Most dragons would have just let her die or at least used it to get a favor out of Julius later, but Justin never even mentions it again. He just considered it expected that he would save Julius's mortal.
• Julius's earnest nature manages to convince Katya, a thousand year-old enemy dragon, that he can be a friend and ally.
• Katya tries to downplay it, but she clearly cares deeply for her mortal boyfriend Ross. Not to mention that Julius managed to get in touch with Katya in the first place because Ross could tell that he really wanted to help.
