"I will second that," Shola murmured to Lilith. "It just... tastes rather off, all of it. But we've got to do the best we can."
She patted the werewolf's shoulder on the way out of the store.
The blurry form that was Dante was, for a time, still and breathing slowly. However, it seemed the anesthesia wore off suddenly and he snapped awake with a sharp, deep breath that became frightened pants. Kaden heard the rattling of the restraints, silent, and then the sound of one clicking open.
"Stupid bint," Dante mumbled, his voice tight and slurred. The assassin's body swayed unsteadily, and after a moment Kaden heard him rattling the other wrist cuff, every now and then a nervous laugh bubbling up and shaking his body. When Kaden moved he saw Dante's head whip around to watch him, the older man going completely still for a moment. The next his efforts with the wrist cuff were renewed and Kaden heard it click open.
"You're awake," muttered in Kaden's general direction, almost as if accusing him of consciousness. There was more rattling, and Kaden could hear the heart monitor on Dante's side of the room beginning to beep faster.
"Why are you in here with me?" Dante growled, although he wasn't particularly facing Kaden when he spoke. Two more clicks and Dante shuddered in pain, remaining still a moment before gingerly moving from the bed and standing. He limped slowly over towards Kaden, towering over the Daalai man and looking down at him with wide-blown pupils.
"You're hers. Your eyes aren't the same... Recessive? I didn't see anyone else like you."
He swayed a little on the spot, leaning down to look closer before he heard the door unlock. When he saw it was the others he seemed to calm a little, making his way back to the bed and giving Shola the widest berth of them all. He didn't lie down ,but sat on the edge instead.
"Are you supposed to be moving around?!" Shola exclaimed, looking horrified. "And what were you doing to Kaden?!"
She looked to Kaden, brow knit in worry.
"Kaden, are you okay?"
She patted the werewolf's shoulder on the way out of the store.
