There was something pathetic about the sight of a grown man carrying a zebra striped duffle bag and dragging one side of his body up a walkway because a half grown merchild is clinging to it. For Rex it was less embarrassing and more a struggle between feeling pity for Gus and frustration. It wasn't even like this was necessarily a permanent thing the labs were just supposed to be babysitting just for a week or two. Rex had every intention of coming back for him regardless of what happened in his investigation. Unless the officer died he would see Gus again.
"I wanna go too" Gus insisted as the inched towards the familiar doors. He didn't even know what this trip was for but he didn't want to be left behind. It would be nice to see miss Apoxi and miss Kayen again but the spectacled boy didn't want to stay with them. he thrashed his tail and dug his claws into the concrete, fighting the inevitable separation every step of the way.

"Go where?" came the pleasant voice of Jillian Blighto as she stepped out of the labs. Jill, being unofficial staff, wasn't aware of everything scheduled to go on at the labs, so she wasn't in charge of room or board for visiting donors or children. However, she was a pleasant sort and more than willing to talk to the boy and see if she could calm him down from whatever was going on.

Gus jerked his head up and stared at the rainbow haired girl for a moment. " I don't know he won't tell me." The merdragon's tail thrashed again as he sulked.

Jillian smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, "Oh, so you're visiting then?"

Gus nodded and grumbled softly under his breath. " I can't stay home alone."
" I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends while you're here and you can reconnect with the people you knew." Rex tried to sooth Gus again though shot the girl a pleading look to either help more or find someone who could convince Gus to actually let go of him. Prying your child off your leg was never a good option.

Jillian stared at the two dumbly, not really sure at all what she was supposed to be doing to help. Luckily, by this point Apoxi had heard what was going on and came out.
"Gus!" She greeted, rushing over to pull the boy into a hug. "Hey honey, I heard you were coming by!" the woman cooed, snuggling the dragon boy who was now a bit taller than her, and effectively pulling him a bit off of his dad. "Has Jillian shown you the pets yet? We've started raising them recently to give to kids. You should come see." Behind his back she gave Rex a solid thumb's up, so as to say she had things covered.

It seemed even in times of stress Gus could be soothed by miss Apoxi's presence and he released his father to cuddle with her. The idea of pets, of something alive of his very own to have was also intriguing. " Are they smart, can they do tricks or talk, I want to see them?" The boy's tone held more excitement than demand though he wriggled a bit impatiently as he spoke.

Apoxi chuckled, "Some of them are, they might be able to if you teach them, and sure." the woman laughed, nodding for Jillian to lead the way and walking with Gus inside.
"We've got big pets that take a lot of work, and little pets that take very little. And osme in the middle."

"I don't mind work," Gus boasted with a grin. Oh he could do anything if he put his mind to it. "But maybe not one that's too big," because Rex would not approve if it took up the whole house. At the though of Rex, Gus became fidgety and nearly turned round to go find him and demand again to go away on his secret trip with him. It would be rude though, to leave Jill and Miss Apoxi now and Gus was trying lately to have better manners.

"Well then, we'll have to see what pet likes you!" Apoxi teased and quickly ushered him into the room with the mixerpets so he could be distracted from thoughts of his father.
"There we have faedragons of a few sorts. That way are mana wyrms. And over there are fuzzykins." Jillian pointed with a grin, up ahead of her mother.
