Jason shifted a bit,knowing he could easily make a portal to the center hatchery back home and just pop right back in,staying right there with them really. And just one...but he wasn't sure. But he didn't want these three in trouble.

The trio fled without hesitation, following the human out the same door. Leanansidhe watched them go, then whirled on us with a bright, feral smile. "Well! Here we are at last. When Grimalkin told me you were coming, I was ever so pleased. Its so good to finally meet you."

Grimalkin descended the stairs with his typical indifference, completely unfazed by the Death Glares coming from Puck. Leaping onto a sofa, he sat down and began grooming his tail.


"And Puck!" Leanansidhe turned to him, clasping her hands in delight. "I havent seen you in forever, darling. How is Oberon these days? Still being henpecked by that basilisk of a wife?"

"Dont insult the basilisks," Puck replied, smiling. Crossing his arms, he gazed around the room, moving ever so slightly in front of Jason. "So, Lea, looks like youve been busy. Whats up with the crazies and the half-bloods? Building an army of misfits?"

Jason let him,not sure about the lady but Fatespeaker squeaked softly in protest as he gently made sure her little head was snugly in the pocket with her brother. But he felt a bit hurt as Puck said Misfits along besides the sentence with half-bloods. He knew it wasn't directed toward him but still,he didn't like what he was.

"Dont be silly, darling." Leanansidhe sniffed, plucking a cigarette holder from a lamp stand. She took a puff and blew a hazy green cloud over their heads. It writhed and twisted into a smoky dragon before dissipating in the air. "My coup days are behind me, now. Ive made a nice little realm for myself here, and overthrowing a court is so tedious. However, Id ask you not to tell Titania that you found me, darling. If you went and blabbed, I might have to rip out your tongue." She smiled, examining a bloodred nail, as Puck inched closer to Jason. "Also, Robin dear, you neednt worry about protecting the boy. I mean him no harm. The Iron faery I might have to dismember and send its remains to Asia--" Ironhorse tensed and took a step forward "--but I have no intention of hurting the dragon. So relax, pet. Thats not why I called him here."

Jason only felt a little better that it wasn't of harm to him but he worried if it would be for him to cause unnecessary harm to others...again. His dragonic letters blinked a few words,a question really. 'Then why has she called me here' the letters flashed softly,Shade and Fatespeaker moving a bit in his pocket.

Leanansidhe turned the full brunt of her glittering sapphire gaze on Jason. "You're so cute, did you know that? No wonder people cant stand to look at you. Whats your name, darling?"

He was shocked at her words and his lights flashed the word 'really' softly as a question that he didn't speak. "J-Jason ma'am. Jason Skytracer." He said,ducking his head a bit.

She smiled, vicious and challenging, appraising him. "And what's a cutie like you going to do if I want that abomination out of my home? That's quite the binding you've got there, dove. I doubt you can scrape up the fire to light my cigarette."
This was a test. If he was going to save Ironhorse, he couldn't falter.

His tail twitched and he raised his chin a bit,letting gold and silver flow through his under wings and freckle scales,mostly to get rid of the white and sick green. "I wouldn't have to,not when I could light it myself." He then sparked sparks around his fangs,a faint struggle but he did it anyway. "He's not an abomination,rather I am." He said,putting a hand to his hip.

Leanansidhe continued to hold Jason's stare, smiling all the while. "I'm not worried about the Iron faery harming me. Im worried I won't be able to get his stink out of my carpets. But, no matter." She straightened, releasing Jason from her gaze.

"Now, come darling. Dinner first, then we can talk. Oh, and please tell your iron pet not to touch anything while hes here. I dont want him melting the glamour."
