He didn't notice,breathing soft as his wings slowly but fully relaxed,laying to his sides gently instead of his usual sleeping position of being curled in around himself. He seemed fully calm,not stressed at any point.No colors where even in his freckles,but his back hind leg showed that he hadn't just stunned it with landing off that wall,he'd actually cracked around the knee in the bone and the wounds that lined it still where opened a bit,the the fabric still carefully wound around his body here and there helped him,but his cloths,with every full shift to any of his dragon forms,not the half,the cloths dissipated.But came back when he was either in his half or human form.

Ash winced at the sight of his knee.

(Gonna be a liiiittle bit controlling)

"Hello, my love," Machina whispered, holding out his hands as Jason appeared, steel cables writhing behind him in a hypnotic dance. Tall and elegant, his long silver hair rippling like liquid mercury, he watched Jason with eyes as black as night. "I have been waiting for you."

(I don't mind.^w^)
No colors of his physical scales gave any hint of what was in his mind...yet.
But...only the tip of his tail twitched the faintest bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason was in his half form in his mind,looking for a moment at his hands and then at his eyes. "But...how...your not..." He shook his head,confused.He knew this was a dream,it had to be.Right? That creepy power passing thing had to be just an assumption,right?

(Okay, but I still feel bad)

Ash sat on the bed, putting his face in his hands, not sure what to do anymore

The Iron King smiled, silver hair glowing in the utter darkness. "You can never be rid of me, Jason Skytracer. We are one, now and forever. You just have not accepted that yet. Come." He beckoned Jason forward. "Come to me, my love, and let me show you what I mean."

(Don't,it's actually pretty cool!)

Jason sniffed softly in the phycical world,expression turning a little unsure as only the faintest red tinted his freckles only.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He pulled away a little,but he felt something in him soften a little at being called love,and so he moved toward him a little,as unsure as his expression in real life was becoming.

Machina drifted closer. "I am the part of you that you cannot bring yourself to accept. And as long as you keep denying me, you will never understand your true potential. Without me, you will never be enough to defeat the false king."

Jason wasn't sure,but he found that he was sure he would do almost anything to defeat that false king and save the fey,to help keep Ash and Puck safe. He let Machina move closer,not pulling back. "Then...what if ... I do accept this part of me?"

Instead of answering Jason's question, an evil smile crossed Machina's face. "Who do you think has been holding back your sight? Of being able to see and use glamour?"

Jason took ,what he thought was,a step back from Machina. He didn't like that smile at all,he remembered how easy it had been for him to hurt Ash and he still hated this former Iron king for it. "I don't think it of anyone,I'm half human.I assume they can't see it or use it either."

"But you can. As soon as you touched the Scepter, you were given the power to use it."
