Iyano frowned at Jamie’s words. Where did he get that idea? He thought incredulously. Noble as it was… it was also incredibly stupid!<br/>And… what was he going to do now?! Suffer? Shaidon had suffered… emotionally, but not physically. How was he going to get that through to the stubborn little martyr without revealing anything?<br/><br/>He tilted Jamie’s head to look at him, having noticed that he’d been staring at Azar all the time.<br/>“Fine… I will swallow you just like Azar did with Shaidon. Once you’re down, you can judge for yourself if you’re suffering or not.” He said reluctantly.<br/>The sooner Jamie knew that Shaidon was unharmed, the better.<br/>This angst…it didn’t suit him…at all.<br/><br/>He coiled his tail around him protectively or possessively, he couldn’t tell, and bent down to give him a kiss. A gentle one for once.<br/>When he broke away, he grinned, trying to lighten the mood.<br/>“Do me a favour, will you brat?”<br/>He licked his lips.<br/>“Don’t struggle…too much” he said with a playful glint in his eyes.
