And Alex was oblivious because she was napping.

Well, Vahn, son of Fah, Kira mused, still occasionally shooting the Child of Stone a glare or two, how can one as small as you make such a significant promise, when most of the factors are out of your control?
Kira extended her neck so that her snout was a mere foot from his own. I do not believe that I shall ever return to the high steppe that I once called home, nor will I ever see my mate again. I have resigned myself to that fate. In which case, I see no reason why I should not eat what I please.
After that, she simply watched the glowing orbs arrive and dissipate, paying no special attention to them, as if such a thing happened regularly.

"Because I said I will."
Five words.
Merely five words.
Yet they felt as if they carried the weight of the ocean itself. His eyes never faltered, his tone never broke at all. He remained where he was, hands on knees and looking at Kira with determination in it's rawest form.
Truth be told... a lot seemed to be steadily careening out of control for everybody, but no matter what, he was going to do what he said he would do.
It... was his way of living... maybe.
"Believe it!"

I will believe it when I see it, Vahn, son of Fah, Kira snorted in amusement.
She withdrew from his steely gaze, closing her eyes for a moment. Do not attempt to give me hope, Little One, for my soul cannot take another blow as large as this. I shall remain here. Where shall your soul roam, I wonder?

"Well... considering how you have no way of helping me at this point, I'm going to have to continue on and reach the mainland. I... may find what I'm looking for there."
He started to stand up, taking his jacket off in the process. He staggered a bit, most of the muscles in his legs still sore and sleeping. Bending down over to the chest, he wrapped it around his ruined jacket, before dragging it on back towards Kira.
"This belongs to you. I have no use for things from the past."
He smiled weakly, considering he was a relic from the past himself.

Kira's eyes snapped open. I? I am incapable of assisting you? You must be joking. Even in my weakened state, I am still more powerful than you. And I must say that I would be a far better mount than that ridiculous noisy thing that you arrived on, she huffed.
The gold nearly sang to her from the chest, but she ignored it for the moment, her pride being more valuable to her than the small pile of riches.

He had to keep himself from laughing a bit; he never imagined seeing the day when a dragon would actually try to prove it's own worth against a motorcycle.
"Is that so? Can you even fly?"
If he could play his cards right...

Growling, Kira spread her crushed wing for him to see. A few of the bones were sticking out at odd angles, and a bit of the webbing was torn. She shot an irritated glance at the Child of Stone. I could before your idiot friend attacked me. If the bones were set properly, I could heal myself, but as you can see... she opened a taloned paw toward him. I am currently ill-equipped to do so myself. I would do more damage than good, were I to try.

"Guess we each caused more harm than good, huh?"
He stared at the injured wing, and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm not exactly a doctor... I can't make a cast or anything, but I could try setting the bones back in place for you."
Try was the operative word here. He didn't how much good a splint would do for a dragon, but at least he was offering.

Shouyin had decided to pass the time between Vahn and the dragon's conversation, with putting that tooth in his car trunk. It wasn't too hard making room for it in the back, wedging it to the side with the amp to keep it from rolling about. The basses were set on angles with the Wu-Tang sword while he disguised the tooth further with that silver cloak he'd 'picked up' from the girl at the Temple of Chaos.
Closing the trunk, he went back around and checked the back seat. Duffelbag was still shoved far under the leather bench, backpack on the floor masking it slightly. His third baseball bat (the other two being in the duffelbag), was still wedged comfortably under the passenger seat. Making sure the jacket, shoes and socks he'd removed were still in order, he pulled on his dark grey t-shirt and checked the glove box. He pulled the silver Rolex in there over his left wrist and tucked the wallet in his back jeans pocket.
Everything was closed up and he got out of the car, re-approaching Vahn and the dragon.
"Well mayn, I should head out."
His right hand set on Vahn's shoulder gently, and he smiled all friendly-like.
"Got searching to do in Gambino, see if I can figure anything more out about this game."

He turned his head to the side, nodding a bit.
"Shouyin... the guys I met... they seemed to be flunkies for some winged guy; the same guy that 'caused all that trouble back in the Marketplace. Their not normal people... one of them seems to be able to use telekinesis, and the other wore some kind of wierd metal armor.
I have no idea what their leader can do, but he seemed to be able to throw out some kind of force push; knocked me right out of the air.
There is another... her name's Flare. If you run into her... be careful. She's stronger than all of them put together. Their riding in a jeep, so it shouldn't be hard to spot, with people cramped inside."
He reached his hand down into the cargo pocket of his jeans, smearing a bit of stomach fluid off in the process. Pulling his hand back out, he held onto a slender silver rectangle.
He tossed it in Shouyin's direction.
"It's my W.A.P. (Wireless Application Protocol) phone. I have extras in my bag... on account their always getting ******** up. Stay in touch."
Vahn knew he could count on the man; who better to trust than a Glacier?
"If... you meet anyone else from Leviathan... let me know, alright?"

I suppose, she sniffed. I don't think a wing cast would work very well anyway. Feel free to try, you can't do much worse than what's already been done. Kira snarled at the Child of Stone and promptly let her wing fall to the sand, where the buckles made obvious hills and valleys in the shape of it. Luckily, the only bones broken were the ones used for support of the webbing, instead of the major limb bones. She also laid her head down facing away from the both of them, sand sticking to the blood still dribbling from her jaw.

Shouyin nodded at Vahn, making sure he had all the information down in his head.
"Gotcha, I'll be sure to stear clear if I can help it," He raised his left hand, catching the phone before stuffing it in his left pocket. "Thanks, I'll try and keep you up to date as much as I can." The half-golem turned, making his way back to the car, flinging his right hand a little before stuffing it in his pocket.
"Take care of yourself yo, and try not to get eaten again."
Shou looked back at Vahn with a grin on his face, hopping into the car and speeding away.
