Jason followed at least two feet behind Ash,shocked that the deer didn't seem scared really. Jason did the same,landing hard on his left leg and gritting his teeth as his freckles shot with maroon. But he ignored the pain and didn't stop following.

As soon as his feet left the ground, Jason could feel a tingle of magic, like he was jumping through an invisible barrier. When he landed, he was no longer staring at the empty forest but an enormous, two-story lodge with a veranda that circled the entire upper deck and smoke writhing from the chimney. The front of it stood on stilts, a good twenty-something feet off the ground, and gave the front deck a fantastic view of the whole clearing.

His eyes widened and he admired it. "Woah." He didn't loosen his tails firm hold around his left leg.The maroon of his freckles faded to the edges and in the middle centered a pulsing curious shade of blue.

Puck was waiting in the living room, where a cheerful fire was crackling, lounging on the couch

Jason saw him and his heart leaped in his chest,he was glad to see him again although he knew the fey boy could handle himself very well.

"Why aren't you with Oberon?" Ash asked.
"He cannot go back to Oberon," Grimalkin said, leaping to the back of the couch. "Oberon exiled him when he came after Jason. He disobeyed the kings orders and has been banished from the Nevernever."

Guilty gray flooded Jason's freckles and he felt worse than before,great.Just great.A freaky dragon hybrid now has gotten two fey's banished because of his own half-bred stupidity.

(Nuuuu~! Puck,my gosh.Now Jason feels worse than he already felt!Dude!That doesn't do him any good!)

(The guilt fest isn't over yet...)

"You know, I think I will get out of here," he drawled. "Its gotten crowded of late, and I was just thinking I needed a vacation." Glancing at Ash, he smirked and shook his head. "Not enough room in this cabin for both of us, ice-boy. You ever want that duel, you can find me in the woods. And if either one of you comes up with an actual plan, do me a favor and leave me out of it. Im outta here."

Jason paled faintly and dark pink boiled at the edges of his freckle scales,he listened to what Puck said and it stung...it stung bad. He didn't show it though despite that his freckle scales decided to scream in like all heck was breaking out. "So your just...leaving?" He said softly,very very softly.

He shrugged. "Yeup." Puck walked across the room and out the door without looking back.
