[The only reason Kang has agreed to help babysit is because he likes Anne, and he can communicate with his informants at the same time, traveling through the vents. When he isn't assisting with stopping the mutiny, he's trying his best to keep Bobby entertained, allowing the boy to play with what toys he already has as well as the worn ones that belong to his own children, or telling him stories from his world.

Slowly, he's winning Bobby over.

Anne or her roommates may come back when the youngling is asleep, Kang watching him from his makeshift bed on the floor, or when both are asleep, the draconian stretched out on his stomach with his wings slightly sprawled.

Another time, he's not only telling a story, but demonstrating it, with the cloth dolls. He's hung the copper dragon underneath the top bunk of one of the beds with string, and he's moving the minotaur so that its horns go directly into the dragon's chest.]

The copper dragon fell instantly, taking its elven rider with it, and any chance the Golden General's armies had of winning the battle. We thought we had gotten rid of the minotaur as well, but we were wrong.
