Kona hadn't seen Butcher or Blacksmith before and weren't sure who they were. They were different and tall. Very tall. Very dangerous looking. Especially Butcher. Yet he didn't care. They helped Miro. Least Blacksmith did. He didn't know they were marionettes or that they had those names. All he knew was he was worried about Miro. He had never seen his little buddy shake so hard. He looked at Ikol and nodded her head. "Just never seen Miro have that expression on his face. Or shake so hard." he said. His tone filled with worry for his best friend. He waited near Ikol.<span style="font-style: italic">Miro nuzzed Tes in his sleep. Whimpering every so often but was happy to be held close and feeling those arms wrapped around him had him feeling safe. His mind heard Tes's last words...I'll keep you safe. Kona said those words. He believed Tes would protect him just as much as Kona did. He felt like he was causing trouble just by being on the ship. He hoped that he wasn't an issue because of what happened. He nuzzled Tes in his sleep. Still crumpling Tes's shirt as he held close to him. He slowly stopped shaking all the way. His head resting on Tes's chest where the guys heart was. Enjoying the sound of it. It was soothing to him.</span>
