Jamie sighed, he supposed he should have expected as much, but it had definitely been worth a shot. He supposed he would still play the game, but the truth was, he didn't want to go free if Shaidon couldn't go with him. Maybe he would play and win and offer himself to Azar in Shaidon's place? Just then though, his disappointed features lifted and he turned to face the fiery coloured naga as he spoke. So, Azar DID want to play? The teen scowled at the naga's words however; there was no need to say such cruel things for Shaidon to hear.<br/><br/>"Don't worry Shay, I'll win for sure!" He nodded with determination. "You have a deal," he told the naga before turning back to Iyano, "right?" He hoped with every fibre of his being that Iyano would say it was ok, then he really had a chance to save his friend, and maybe his own skin too. He couldn't lose, their lives would depend on it.
