[One by one the dragons got their treats. One by one they slithered back away into the night, full of treats and wishes.
Somewhere between the treats Kai had noticed that Kyoko had stepped away to do whatever she had come here to do. Ah, she'd fooled him completely. 'She got me,' he whispered to a dragon's tail as it slipped out of sight. He didn't mind, not at all. The grief she weathered wasn't one Kai could do much for. He was already trying to do everything he could, for however much that was worth.
It seemed really obvious to him that in every way this was a take two of that first visit. A plea to go home was just the natural assumption here. He watched her for a few moments, knowing that it'd be simple enough to ask Rawna for the same thing. Let her go. Let her get her happiness back.
His heart felt heavy knowing he couldn't do it. He knew he couldn't. Rawna would know he couldn't.
Eventually Kai got up, wandering quietly through the hall. It was just far enough away to give her some privacy, staying just within where she'd still find him at a glance when she wanted him. Out of a different pocket he fished out his own 'treat,' placing the white candy stick between his lips. There wasn't a hit, but the old familiar motions were enough to do the trick.]
