Nic didn't say anything as he got back to work.

Laurel continued to do the little things that needed to be done. She finished with his clothes and set about cleaning up the room, opening the doors and windows to get some air in before leaving for a little while. She came back with lunch and tea and set it beside Nic without a word. Then she left him and went to find Rosen.

--

A few hours after James had collapsed, the neonates returned. There were alarms going off all around when their crafts started pulling up.

Yue didn't go to check out the alarms, but Blaze did.

The neonates looked rather battered, their crafts had been fired at. Wolfe's face looked like stone and the others looked haunted. In the arms of Pepper was a small black child.

Blaze glanced around at them before her eyes settled on the child.

The small girl was either simply asleep or drugged but alive. She looked around two or three years old. Pepper shifted her around in her arms a little, not please to be stuck carrying her. Wolfe glanced at Blaze but said nothing.

Child: O

Blaze didn't ask any questions for now. Instead, she let them go about their ways. After a minute, she headed back toward the infirmary.

The neonates stayed where they were. Eventually one of them got around to calling Rosen. Rosen informed those at James's place that they'd be a little longer in getting back. Laurel passed the news to Nic herself.

Eventually Yue and Blaze were summoned to one of the main conference areas.

Nic didn't seem all too relieved about the news. It looked like he was starting to really lose hope.

And so they went.

Laurel looked Nic over for a long moment, taking in his current mood. Then, without any warning, she slid into his lap, took his face in her hands, and kissed him with nearly as much passion as their first kiss. It was the first time she'd touched him in awhile. Right now, she didn't care about distracting him.

--

The girls walked into the middle of a heated argument. The tiny cause of the argument was still drugged and had been placed on a blanket in the corner of the room. They quieted down as they noticed Yue and Blaze.

"Lau-" he tried to stop her, but it wasn't long before he was wrapped around her finger. But he was far less restrained than before. It took no time at all before he started pushing the boundaries a little aggressively.

--

Yue fit in pretty nicely; she looked pretty exhausted and a little disheveled. "... Whoa..." she muttered as she spotted the child. Blaze seemed pretty impassive like before.

Laurel seemed a little surprised initially but it didn't seem to phase her much. However, the more he pushed the boundaries, the more her inexperience showed. Everything was new to her and whenever he did something different she was momentarily shocked. She was riding on pure instincts. Eventually though, she started to feel lightheaded and pulled away slightly as her vision spun.

--

Tulip followed Yue's eyes to the child and giggled, "We wanted a stalemate with the Okorie, and now we have one." she smiled happily. Zala sighed, not looking too pleased. Wolfe's face remained carved in stone.

Wolfe slowly focused on Blaze, "You'll return with Kale in a few days, when we all planned to go. We'll be staying behind for a little longer."

"Spot here will be going with you." Pepper added, gesturing with her thumb to the child in the polka-dotted dress.

Zala glared at her, "She's not a dog!" she spat.

"Fine, Dot. Whatever." Pepper replied dismissively.

Nic didn't let Laurel pull away, not seeming to realize the effect he was having on her.

--

Yue didn't say anything more, taking some time to drink in the situation.

"... What did they take?" Blaze suddenly asked.

When Nic wouldn't let her go, fear suddenly shot through Laurel. "N-Nic!" she managed to cry out as the room seemed to spin around her faster. She felt herself on the verge of tears.

--

"They've been teaming up with CLIKZ." Zala explained after a moment, "Since the Okorie can't attack for fear we'll hurt the child, we're hoping this drives a wedge between them and CLIKZ. We can't afford to have three gangs attacking us at once." Tulip nodded at Zala's summary.

Nic seemed to misinterpret her. But he did slow down a little.

--

Blaze blinked. "... Oh... I thought stalemate implied both parties were in a similar situation," she explained.

Yue looked at Blaze a little weirdly. "... Did you really work for my brother?" she asked her.

Blaze turned to Yue. "I didn't have a private education like most of his other goons," she tried to explain.

Yue just shook her head a little. "It was a joke," she replied.

"... Oh..." Blaze said, looking embarrassed for a brief moment.

As Nic started to slow down, Laurel was able to get a handle on her fear and mostly push it away. She was shaking a little now in Nic's arms, struggling not to cry as she took in short breaths.

--

"In a sense it is a stalemate." Zala went on, "They can't attack us and we have no desire to attack them right now."
