He felt worried,more worried than before,as Puck still didn't move. And so he stopped a good distance and gave Puck space. "Please don't leave."

"Wasn't gonna. Didn't you listen? I just said that there wasn't room in the cabin for both ice-boy and I."

"But you said if we came up with an actual plan that to leave you out of it." He was starting to feel a little upset,a little upset that Puck had spoken like that and caused him to assume and hurt.

"Whatever your plan is going to be, it will involve the Iron Realm. I'm not going anywhere near that place. I'm smart enough to know when to back off."

"I understand if you won't come there,that makes total sense...but...not all of it has to,we can figure something out."

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

Jason bit his lower lip,not able to think of anything at the moment. "W-well...I can't think of something right now b-but we can figure something out."

"Mmhmm. Well let me know when you figure that out. Until then..."

Jason's freckle scales shifted dark pink and magenta around the scales,he didn't want Puck to go. He wanted to hear,though,what Puck had to say.He wanted to know what he meant to say after until then.

"Come on," Ash murmured, brushing Jason's arm. "There's nothing you can do for him now. Youre exhausted, and you cant help anyone like this. Get some rest."
