It was...fascinating to watch his brother slowly take control of the man. It was a process and he could clearly see the array of emotions and thoughts that passed over his brother's face in a journey of emotions, without having to rely on their linkage with one another. Like his Daddy, Sleipnir was starting to understand why it was so hypnotizing to observe and study someone, the curiosity having never flared down from one generation to the next, but he didn't share the same thoughts about the mortality of the man. As far as he ever knew from his memories, the humans had never been any more than tools. Something that had taken away the world quietly in their bitterness. They had never played any essential part and truthfully, they didn't even seem worth playing with. Watching Sky take control the first time though, would always be highlight. He had no interest in the human, only his brother. His powerful, cool and collected brother who, even for a dragon, seemed way beyond his years. They both were, just, the world had become so desolate that it was harder to recognize such a fact. 

  The tears broke his eager attention momentarily. Out of all of them, they were the few left with the luxury of such tears, but Sleipnir still wanted to reach out and wipe away his brother's sadness, stopping just short for fear he would break the concentration shining brightly in his eyes. Instead, he let his hand drop back down to his side and merely shuffled closer. 

  Back to humble watchfulness as he followed Sky's hand, watching the fabric wrinkle and grow wet beneath his palm. And his gaze flickered back up to Sky's face, eying him with a sort of strange rhythm in his chest. Beating faster; a growing excitement as he shuffled all the closer to his brother. A small pinkness darting out to wet his lip as his blood pounded in his ears or was it another beat outside his body that he was hearing? His hand twitched expectedly in Sky's firm grasp, the wet warmth made it so tempting to pressure the soft source it was emitted from. The fluid made it feel viscous, the muscle made it feel firm. He glanced up at Sky, then reached up and pressed the still beating heart between them, letting it brush across both their lips. Parting his mouth as his brother did, for mutual reveling in the special warmth pulsing between them.

  More than ever, he wished that he had just enough strength left for a small gust of fire. Then perhaps he could retort Halley's casual remark about 'relieving stress' with his own 'relaxing' method. The perfect opportunity snubbed him right in the face as the dragon loomed right out of the darkness in front of him, close enough that he could nearly see the smaller crystalline scales that marked every dragon's skin and was the only imperfection they had in their humanoid forms. His gaze flickered from Halley down to the darkness below him where he could feel the dragon's presence against his bare skin. Nakedness had never been a problem, but Halley clearly didn't understand boundaries and had Regnum not been strapped down, he would've striked him already though perhaps that was what the cocky dragon wanted. The light tap made him tense, the injection akin to a mosquito bite, but the jab of prior needles hadn't numbed his fight or flight instinct. In fact, such an instinct came flooding back to him. 

  Without much thinking, the bonds holding him down snapped and he stumbled forward, disorientated with the foreign floor suddenly below his feet again. He caught himself on Halley's shoulder, straightening and letting go immediately whilst Leo was given his own little boost. 

 Needles, cutting, the hydra was almost too far under to really care as long as he was given enough anesthesia to just about numb the pain. His absolute worse nightmare was to never find it in him to fall into that peaceful sleep again. In other words, the hydra dreaded being awake. Dreaded the sudden tension in his muscles that overtook him and the way the world suddenly brightened as his eyes widened. Still, unlike Regnum, he didn't snap his bonds as off yet. 

  Shame the majority remaining females weren't given the same treatment. 

  "Terra.." The firey dragon glowed lowly in the darkness as he regained some of his strength. Just enough to see the earth dragon. Reaching over, he began to tug at her own bonds.
