He blinked. He was surprised. Impressed, maybe. There was no way to tell. She'd clearly spoken in the dragon language, but she'd displayed no understanding when he'd done it before. There had to be some latent ability somewhere in her that allowed her to understand. Now wasn't the time to think about that. Instead, he hovered over Jami, jaws parted in a low growl. English suited him just fine for certain purposes, but though he was loathe to admit things that he enjoyed, he found her grasp of the dragon language interesting. He forced himself to close his mouth and formulate a response. She had called everything dead, even though there was nothing even alive to begin with. It was all fake, even the dirt. He knew what she desired, but there was no guarantee that any scientist would grant her that permission.
Kain pulled back and looked up into the black corners of the room. "She wants... Outside." There was radio silence for a few minutes before someone answered. "...Outside?" It was Dr. Naris, of course. Kain narrowed his eyes, knowing they could see him.
"I didn't stutter. She's sick because she's not outside."
"That doesn't make any sense. Why would she--"
Kain shot up, ripping the speaker and the camera out from the wall with his teeth. He spat the cables out just as the door unlocked and opened and two interns burst in along with Dr. Naris. The room they were being monitored from wasn't that far apparently. However, the interns fled for safety as Kain snapped and roared at them. It was cut short as Dr. Naris spiked the collar with electricity, enough to make Kain quiet with a choked cry. A frightened scientist scurried in and poked his arm with a needle, pumping him full of sedatives. He dropped to the floor after only a few seconds, but he was aware enough to hear Dr. Naris bark orders at people he couldn't see.
"Take Experiment 16 outside. Make sure she's cuffed and mostly sedated, but she needs to be awake. Twenty minutes outside. If her condition improves, put her back in with Experiment 2. He's having withdrawals." Kain lazily snapped at the woman before he slipped into unconsciousness again. His last thought was of Jami, of all things. Maybe... just maybe, she would be okay. And then he could escape.
