In response to Shaye's query Odysseus shook his head slowly. The lioness hadn't been nearby as far as Odysseus knew. Even if she had, what he'd seen had very clearly been between Noir and the other child. "No, the lioness wasn't there."
As for Rhyme's questions... The alphas now knew his opinion on what had happened. They knew he was convinced that what he'd seen was an attempt on that girl's life and they'd had a chance (however briefly) to come to grips with the knowledge that one of their neighbors had committed a crime. Odysseus felt that they had been prepared enough to hear who the perpetrator was and how close he was to them.
"I don't know that, but I suspect this person hasn't gone far." Where would Noir go if he ran? What hope did he have of not being found immediately? While Odysseus wouldn't have put a foolish escape attempt past the boy, the odds of him actually getting somewhere weren't in Noir's favor. Besides, he wasn't even sure Noir understood the severity of what he'd done and if he didn't he had no reason to think running away was an option. "There are...factors at play that led me to believe it wouldn't be wise to seek her out and bring her here just yet." While they would have to talk to the girl eventually, she was still a child and Odysseus thought it would be easier on her to involve her only when absolutely necessary.
Alright, he'd delayed it enough. His voice grave, he said, "It was Noir. He pushed one of your daughters into the fire. She was alright, she rolled into the water, but it was obvious he wasn't just being cheeky." He'd seen the smirk on the boy's face. The glee. And he'd seen the disappointment when she made it to the water. Gently he added, "He was visibly disappointed when she made it to the shallows."
