*(Egad. I have NO excuse whatsoever for the lengthy delay. NO excuse.)*

“Kreazil needs to be stopped. Immediately. After that we can deal with La Prise, but I don’t see how we can just stand by and let Kreazil get away with what he’s doing. Besides, It’s only right we go after him… after what’s he’s done…” Harry said, anger clear in his voice as he trailed off just in time to see Alphonse burst into the room.

"Drake?" Al called as he hurried down the corridor to the hospital room. "You're awake! When did you come to?"

“Just a few minutes ago.” Evelynne responded automatically, the first time she had spoken since the group had arrived.

Drake nodded once, having been about to respond only for Eve to do so for him. Clearing his throat lightly, Drake glanced over at Harry.

"What he's done?" Inquired the half-dragon, tilting his head lightly. "If...you don't mind my asking, just what precisely did he do?" Being out of commission for nearly three weeks was still something he was trying to process, and he wanted to get as much of the story as he possibly could.

Somewhere, several miles away, Ryu leaned up against the wall of a local church somewhere in London. Even after he had given Kreazil the blood of his cousin, the young man wasn't entirely sure what to do. He had wanted to head back to his friends and his cousin to let him know what was going on--but he knew that doing so would likely spell certain doom for his father. As it was, he had agreed to work for Kreazil--at least temporarily--hoping to possibly ascertain some information on where his ultimate hideout was. But to do that he needed to gain trust, and to do that he needed some time.

As it was, Ryu felt like he was only just killing time, simply waiting for his next mission. He understood another one of Kreazil's flunkies--that "crazy bitch"--was doing some interrogation...but it was of little concern to him. For the time being, Ryu decided to perform some dumb muscle grunt work for him, mainly so he could clear his own head and figure out the best plan of how to handle the situation.
