The Dragonboy has Reached Avignon

The Dragonboy and his family are on the run.  Catching flies with your tongue and being able to scale perpendicular walls are not normal activities, even for an active, growing boy.  What therapy would be suggested in the 21st century?  Prozac, psychoanalysis, cognitive reconfiguration?  In the 13th century, burning or drowning was the preferred, failsafe medicine.  Still, the three suspects managed to get away, left the wine-growing region of Durnstein, where Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned, passed through the German states and into old France, where they like a trick or two.  Stories have quicker legs than runaways, however, and news may beat them to the English Channel.  We'll see.
