"Thanks." He said to Puck,gently holding the mug close and seeming to just feel soothed by the warmth,not getting over heated easily by it due to his dragon blood. The scent was stronger for him due to his dragon half but it reminded him a bit of Foreskel and Jadescar,the healers back at the Karophoney back in the dragon kingdom. He smiled at it a bit,remembering the elder and younger skeletal dragons,Jadescar hopping about grabbing herbs and putting them where needed and Foreskel lumbering about helping dragons despite that she didn't much like them most of the time.

Leanansidhe swept around the bed, trailing smoke from her cigarette holder. With a flourish, she sat in the chair Ironhorse had been sitting in and crossed her legs, watching Jason over her cigarette. "So, before that kicks in, dove, why dont you tell me what happened in there? Grimalkin told me some of it, but he wasnt there for the whole operation, and I cant get a cohesive story from this pair--" she waved her cigarette at Ironhorse and Puck "--because theyre too busy worrying over you. Why couldnt you get the scepter, darling? What happened in SciCorp?"

Jason ran a shaking hand through his hair,closing his eyes. "It was practically a trap, Virus has the scepter. She's not taking it to the 'new iron king',she's trying to take power of her own and take down the courts through this war. I should've seen the trap,it was to easy in. Nothing attacking on the way up or through the hall,and we ended up running into them in a fake conference meeting." He wasn't sure how to explain the details at the moment,mind still foggy from the hazy memory of his first night of life,and so he tried to gently blow on the herbal liquid but the thing was that he was shaking a little,cracks deeper and more glass spread around the area's of which he was fractured.

Silence fell. All that could be heard was the faint sound of Grimalkin sharpening his claws on the bed. "So," Leanansidhe ventured at last, "what will you do now?"

He sighed softly. "I'm not sure,being honest." He said softly,dark blue swirling around the pained maroon in his freckles but his underwings stayed the pained color.

"We go back," Puck murmured, looking at Jason and Ironhorse, hoping they would back him up. "We have to. We have to get the scepter and stop the war. Theres no other way around it. At least we know what were up against now," he continued, grabbing for a faint ray of hope. "We might have a better chance the second time around."

"And the Winter prince?" Leanansidhe asked softly. "What will you do with him?"

"We have to kill him."

Jason for a moment was so ready to back Puck up,for sure all out and go for it but then he said they'd have to kill Ash and that just made him go pale. But he nodded,tail curling close to his legs. "There's no other option against him,besides.He doesn't have much time left,it would end his suffering.It's clear to see in his face.And I'm for going back,now we are prepared.Puck's right,we know now what we're up against." He said,voice wavering faintly as he focused his eyes on the herbal drink and then sipped softly after he finished speaking.

The room had grown very quiet. Everyone except Puck had left, slipping from the room to let Jason come to terms with himself.

Jason stared down,body shaking but his eyes firm on the ground as he tried to stop his own thoughts from getting out of hand in their hazy state. He was glad Puck had stayed,or else he thought he would have just flat out lost it.

"You saw what he did." Puck met his eyes, beseeching. "You saw what he is now. I dont think I can fight him without holding back. If he attacks you again..."
