Jason now looked at him full on. "What are you referring to? If it was in SciCorp then that doesn't matter,that wasn't you. But if something else,I'm not saying I'm not upset still." He said,a small sharpness to his tone like a dulled knife.

His silver eyes were haunted. "It doesnt excuse what I did."

"Maybe not to you,but,despite that it doesn't matter,it does to me. I've had my will taken a hold of a bent,ripped from me and dragged through the dirt and ripped apart. And I feel horrible for how many dragons perished because of my talons,but it wasn't me.I understand that.No,I feel bad but I don't completely try to beat myself up for it.It was Shade,simple as that. Just believe that it wasn't you,because it wasn't. Don't give me not icey glare,I'm serious. You should have learned from the first time that you can't do this alone." he said,his markings and the way he spoke put him into how you would think of him as a prince rather than himself. But a prince that refused to be all fancy smanshy and flitty with glitter. His gaze was strong and defiant,and commanding in it's own way.

He regarded Jason solemnly, his expression unreadable.

"Don't give me that either." His tail swung side to side with the sound of clinking glass. "I didn't fix you to see you throw yourself back into a boar fight and end up beaten up again!"

"I accept."
Puck's jaw dropped. "What? No! No no no no. You cant."

(Gtg,but i will be right back.I swear!)


"We need the help,he doesn't have to stay with with us,but he can help." He said,waving a hand in the air. "I just don't want anyone diving head first into a pool of snappers without help. I don't care how much I dislike him,I don't like seeing others hurt or in danger."

(Okay!)

He bowed his head, his voice somber and grim. "I will aid you until we get the scepter back and return it to the Winter Court. I will stay with you until these terms are fulfilled, this I promise."

(K.Back.)

Jason felt guilty at the somber and grim tone but didn't show it,unless you count that guilty gray that hazed over his pained maroon on his freckles,frills(now folded down again) and underwings. He put his hands on his hips. "So,where we headin' next? Helpin' out the other two? Wherever, I can make a portal there." He said to Puck.

"So, if we're done here..." Puck sauntered up beside Jason, putting an arm around his shoulders before he could stop him. Ash stiffened, drawing back, and his eyes went cold. Puck looked past him to the tatter-colt, standing in the trees, and raised an eyebrow. The black horse pinned its ears and curled back its lips in a very unhorselike snarl, baring flat yellow teeth at them. Puck snickered. "Huh, I dont think your friend likes me very much, Your Highness. Looks like youll be riding to the healers solo."
