"As long as it Damn well takes," Devin snarled. He was getting sick of Benjamin's whining. "He looks like a water dragon. Petite feminine looking thing. White hair, perfect blue BJ eyes," he snickered. "As for where they hang out we'll call Han and ask. He knows the dragon's habits better than anyone." Devin shouldered his dart gun and pulled out his cell. "Yo! Boss where does this water dragon hang out?"

Ky calmed a bit when he saw Nym, but he was also angry that Nym seemed to be involved in whatever this was. "Okay," he took as deep breath. "Okay. We'll go inside and then you talk."

Ivan smiled at Nym appreciatively and nearly stumbled to his knees when he tried to walk. Ky caught him, his eyebrows bowing together in concern. He finally noticed how tired Ivan looked. "Let's get you inside," he said softer than before helping Ivan down the last few steps of the incline and into the cave. He set him down on the nest, pulling him against his chest. "So what happened?" he asked as he could at the moment, which still sounded a bit rough and accusatory.

"I-I couldn't do it again, Ky!" Ivan broke down sobbing. "You have no idea. I wanted to tell you, but I knew you'd say no and it was the only way I could think of."

"Shhhh..." Ky soothed. "It's okay. What couldn't you do? What did you want to tell me?" Ky felt like his skin was going to tear he was so tense.
