Wolfe looked at Nic for a long moment, "What would you do in my position?" he asked, eyes weighing something.

Nic actually seemed to put some serious thought into it. He weighed the options in his mind for a few minutes before deciding, "Send Dewei home empty handed."

"Yue will have to return eventually," Wolfe noted.

Nic nodded again.

Wolfe was silent again, smoking calmly. "You understand the delicacy of this situation," he finally replied, "I have to do what's best for those who rely on my leadership."

Nic nodded one more time. "... And from my experience with Sheng and the Yin Long, I suggest you not piss Sheng off," he offered. "... Along with Laurel."

Wolfe nodded, staring out at the water. After a moment he sighed, letting a little of his guard down as he reached up and rubbed one of his temples. "I should have kicked you people right off my Juttle as you walked onto it..." he muttered with no real heart in it.

Nic didn't mention that if he had done that, he wouldn't have a boyfriend right now. Instead, he remained silent.

Wolfe paused for a long moment, looking over at Nic. It was obvious he was debating telling him something. Finally he decided, "... Laurel is building relationships with men known to deal illegally. She somehow pinpoints them in the bars."

Nic didn't reply.

Wolfe watched Nic for another moment before looking back at the water, "Does Dewei know you're here as well?"

"... Let's hope for both our sakes he doesn't," Nic replied.

Wolfe nodded slightly, "I'm going after Blaze. You should look in on Laurel, I don't think Raven can handle the two of them," he suggested as he stood.

"You're so boring tonight, Yue," Laruel complained for not the first time, "It's a girls night out, let's do something!"

"... It would be bad if I was spotted near Yue," Nic mused.

--

"There's nothing to do," Yue replied.

Wolfe glanced over his shoulder, "Then don't be spotted," he stated and continued on his way.

Laurel let out a frustrated grunt, "Stop sulking already!"

Nic sighed a little. If he wanted to piss Blaze off that badly; he'd let him.

"Find someone else to play with," Yue suggested.
