Nym smiled, he didn't think he'd be able to stop the stupid grin spreading across his face even if he wanted to, though he suddenly felt a little sheepish. Ky seemed to so confident with that answer. That they were mates, that he loved him. He hadn't hesitated at all, and Nym suddenly felt the cold anxiousness inside him turn warm and tingly, like he'd just stepped into the hot spring again. Actually hearing how Ky felt about him out loud did wonders. It was reassuring that perhaps things would eventually be a little less strained around Avalon. The worries about Ivan, and kits, and scientists were all lessened for a moment, and then when Ky kissed them they were melted away altogether. "I love you too." Nym murmured back quietly as they pulled away again. The words were out of his mouth before he could think, and he had no intention of taking them back. He leaned forward a bit as had been Ky's request, even though he was reluctant to move out of the embrace they were sharing. When he touched his hand to his face he found that his cheeks were burning, which only made him flush more. Could Ky feel him blushing up like this? "You know..." Nym started slowly, trying not to stutter over himself. "You probably need a massage more than I do. You were out hunting for quite a while. Your skin's all cold." Nym reached up to grip one of Ky's forearms from behind him and then pressed his lips to the top of Ky's hand. "You need to warm up."

"Fucking GPS, fucking Sean, fucking good for nothing horrible drivers...." Addie laid on her horn as heavily as she could as she passed the person who'd been coming toward her with their brights on the whole way, which was ridiculous because it was approaching pitch black outside at this point... Well maybe not pitch black, but it was definitely night. She hoped these namby pamby scientists were still up, she didn't care if the facility was closed at this hour. If she had to, she'd sleep in the car. At this point, after about eight hours of driving, she was tired, and not having any nonsense from anyone, no matter how unintentional it was. Sean had already blown up her phone with forty odd texts and her mother had been calling non-stop. It seemed that her father had given up altogether.
"This one-" Addie was suddenly stirred from her brooding thoughts as she caught sight of the exit she was supposed to be taking coming up fast on her right, the unmistakable symbol of the Dragon Facility was printed neatly on the exit sign. It matched perfectly with the one on the manilla envelope that had been on her father's desk, and was now sitting neatly on the passenger seat beside her. "Hmmm hmmm hmmm, going to see Nym." She hummed to herself a bit to calm her nerves, because admittedly she was starting to develop some. "It will all be fine."
It didn't take long to find the facility. There was a parking lot, and a gate, and beyond the gate Addie could see the first lab. She'd heard about this place. It was was like a hive work of twenty different buildings. Whichever one housing people that would get her in contact with Nym was the one she needed.
