Skylark finally nodded and was about to release Daddy from his control, but Father beat him to it. Or, rather, Father was going to speak to Edge while in this state. But didn't Father just get finished telling him this was not nice...? The young dragon pouted in confusion as he watched his Father, laughing at his questions. Of course Daddy loved him more than anything else! 

Somewhere, Edge registered that Path was taking advantage of him. Though he had made Path his slave, he had never invaded his privacy. Deep down, he felt betrayed but he had no option other than to answer his mate. "I... don't know if I'll stay... I'll do what's best for..." Some would think he would say 'the family', but they were mistaken. "For... me.."

Edge didn't even look at his mate as a droplet of drool began to form at the corner of his lips. Slowly and monotonously, he spoke. "I love you, Path. But not as much as I loved my old mate. He was handsome... sexy... strong... and he might still be... alive... And I want... Sleipnir ... more than... you.... I want to take him.... when he grows up... and make him... my mate..." He said emotionlessly.
