Jason's smile wavered and he took a step back,forcing a jocky laugh as he tired to rub the back of his neck but actually pulled at his white tips. "Look,patience,just patience." He said,voice forced to go against what his lights where flickering,making Fatespeaker wince as she read them quickly. "Sssss....sssstoooop....badddd...wordsss." She said softly like rushing river. Shade hid from the rushed language of the lights behind Puck's legs a bit.

Puck noticed and figured he had an idea of what the lights said. "Jason," Puck began, reaching for his arm

He flinched,remembering the fabric that was still laced around his arm and he forced another laugh. "I'm fine,just fine." But his lights said otherwise and Fatespeaker's flinching and shaking of her head said that the lights said otherwise. They got a little faster,hitching here and there as his tail twitched,more than just a fidgety twitch.

In the opening of the door, the lights gleamed along the black barrel of a gun as he raised the muzzle and pointed it at Puck. The door swung open, and a half-dozen redcaps poured into the room behind the first one. The one with the fishhook in his nose, Razor Dan, stepped forward and leered at them with a mouthful of jagged teeth.

"You sure this is the one, half-breed?"

Warren smirked. "Im sure," he replied, never taking the gun, or his eyes, off Puck. "The Iron King will reward us handsomely for this, you have my word."

"Everyone freeze!"

They froze.
"Well," Leanansidhe said, striding over to the trio. "Turns out this game was a rousing success. Although I must say, I was hoping to be surprised. It gets rather boring when youre right about everything."

"L-Leanansidhe," Razor Dan stammered, all the blood draining from his face as she regarded him with her fearsome smile. "H-how...? Youre supposed to be in Nashville."

Jason's scales turned death white and dark sick green but he spun around to face the attackers with wings spread wide and fangs bared,pupils slits and stinger brandished but as Lean strode over he was shocked to see the blood drain from Warrans face. He lowered his stinger but still didn't close his wings or let his pupils turn normal as he stopped baring his fangs.

"Dan, darling." Leanansidhe shook her head and tsked. "Did you really think I was blind to what was going on? In my own house? I know the rumors circulating the streets, pet. I know the Iron King has been offering rewards for the girl. I had the feeling there was a traitor in my house, a so-called agent of the Iron King. What better way to flush him out than to leave him alone with the princess and wait for him to make his move? Your kind is so very predictable, darling."

"We..." Dan glanced around at his crew, clearly looking for someone else to blame. "This wasnt our idea, Leanansidhe."

"Oh, I know, darling. Youre too dull to organize something like this. Which is why Im not going to punish you."

"Really?" Dan relaxed a bit.

(Lol,I like the sound of a girl Jason. XD. Hm,maybe I should GB him.)

Jason wondered what Lean was up to if she wasn't going to punish him. He slowly closed his wings.

(You totally could xD)

"They were only following their base instincts, pet." Leanansidhe smiled at Dan. "I expected nothing less of them. What I really want is the mastermind. Why dont you stick around...Warren."

Warren was trying to sneak down the corridor without being seen. He froze, wincing at the sound of his name, and gave Leanansidhe a feeble smile.

"Leanansidhe, I...I can explain."

"Oh, Im sure you can, darling." Leanansidhe's voice could make someone's stomach curl.

"And you will. Were going to have a little chitchat, and youre going to tell me everything you know about the Iron King and the scepter. Youre going to sing, darling. Sing as youve never sung before, I promise."

"Come on," Puck told Jason, taking his elbow. "You dont want to hear this, dragon boy, trust me. Lea will give us the information when she has it."

He nods and folds his wings fully in and let's his eyes change. He moves toward Puck,taking his eyes off the scene. At least it had taken his mind off of Ash.

Puck took Jason to his room, leaving Warren to his fate. "At least this day has been more eventful," he pointed out
