[h1]Nate[/h1]

Nate took a sip of what was supposed to be coffee but tasted more like something that had come out of a drain somewhere. Raven had spoiled him with great coffee and now everything else was just awful. He peered over the rim of his cup at the company around. Eva seemed like a nice enough person and Nate wondered what sin she had committed to be given the duty of acting as Eli's assistant. Eli was a conundrum. Sure, the guy was a douche but...god help him...Nate actually found himself enjoying the back and forth between the two of them. And then there was Cedric. The boss man himself. Nate actually felt sorry for this guy. Here was the figurehead of the reformist council, only 20 years old and a confirmed genius...And he had just had his ass handed to him. And by a little girl no less. That had to be humiliating. The eye patch was pretty cool though.

He realised that Cedric probably wouldn't want people pitying him, even though there would probably be more than a few who did after that smackdown. But there was no need for Nate to pile it on too. Instead, he cleared his throat and changed the subject to someone else. "So how's...whatsername?" He shoved a thumb in Eli's direction and added "That woman the flamer brought in so elegantly earlier?"

[h2]Jake[/h2]

This was just annoying. Not only had he almost been stepped on by a dragon but now he had been splattered by that same dragons guts as it exploded all over the place. He had to fight the urge to gobble some of it up though. He snorted, blowing a small chunk of intestine out of his nose and peered at it for a second. How exactly had his life gotten to the stage where he had to blow dragon guts out of his nose? He watched the weird looking woman run off without so much as a sorry before shifting his attention to the maniac beating on the remaining dragons. Jake wanted no part of that psycho. His laugh was all kinds of creepy.

He briefly considered just getting the hell out of there but he realized that he was actually having fun. Despite the guts and constant threat of death. Maybe he'd hang around and see if any more chew toys crawled out of that hole. Or better yet, maybe he'd follow after the weird woman. She kind of looked like a chew toy he had once owned. He lost that chew toy at the beach and that loss broke his heart every day. Curiosity and a need to chew getting the better of him, he decided to follow after her.
