She frowns, glancing at it before tossing it back. "I'd rather not, it's technically stealing since you didn't ask." She states, standing and stretching. She sighs, looking down at her useless vines that Ash ruined. She slowly twitches her fingers, watching as the vines spiral upward and vanish slowly.

"Where are we going?" Ash questioned, sounding bored with them all. "Did you manage to come up with a plan to find the Iron King, or are we going to paint targets on out backs and wander around in circles until he notices?"

"You're awfully eager to help," Puck drawled, leaning back against the table. "And here I was getting ready for a duel first thing this morning. Why the change of heart, prince?" Puck didn't know about the deal between Claire and Ash

She only half listens.

She keeps a straight face as she walks around, glancing at the ceiling and floor tiles.

Ash didn't reply directly to Puck's question, but said, "we are still free to duel each other anytime we want."

(Kitten, can I be really mean to Lin and be a little controlling for a few minutes?)

(Sure)

She just stares at the ceiling.

She relaxes slightly, stepping up beside Ash.

(Okay, thanks)

As Lin stares up at the ceiling, a vision washes over her. She's now in a dark room, surrounded by machinery. Steel cables as thick as her arm dangled overhead, house-size computers lined the walls, blinking with millions of flashing lights, and thousands of broken televisions, ancient PCs, out of date game consoles and VHS players lay in drifts and heaps throughout the room. Wires covered everything, writhing and slithering along the walls, over the mountains of forgotten technology, dropping in tangled clumps from the ceiling. A loud thrumming filled the area, making the floor vibrate and her teeth buzz.

Ash hardly noticed. Puck did though, and he just about lost it. Ash and Puck entered a dangerous conversation, threatening each other. "Well, why wait?" Puck sounded eager. "We could step outside right now, Your Highness, and get this over with."

She just stares silently at it.

She glares at Puck, suddenly vines wrap around his mouth. "Don't you dare." She snaps. "I want to get this whole thing over, when we are done, then you can duel!!" She snaps at him, not even turning her cold glare on Ash.
