Suddenly alarmed that he wasn't included in Nero's last statement, Harlee flung himself at the human. "Will you take me with you?" Harlee asked anxiously, practically white knuckling Nero's shirt. Kor aside, he didn't want to be left behind on Jeskara.

Nero looked at the boy. "Yeah, why would you think I would leave you here, after all we've been through?" Nero asked, before grinning at the boy. "C'mon Harlee, think better of me, will you?"

Harlee returned Nero's smile with a tentative smile of his own. "Sorry," he replied with a blush, "I forget that there's actually nice people in the world." He darted in and kissed Nero's cheek with a light purr. "Thanks." Harlee rose, feeling a lot more calmer now, though he still held tightly to Nero's hand.
"So, you gonna bring him along, Nero?" He asked, meaning Kor.

Kris sighed. "I think we should, though he can be kept as a prisoner. We need him for you to be comfortable, Nero."
Nero frowned, leaning his head on the taller, more muscular boy's neck. He sighed into Harlee's collar. "Look, I don't care, let's just go. I hate it here."

Harlee smiled slightly and hugged Nero tightly. "Yeah me too. But just think how great it'll be to keep that demon in the ship's holding cell. I'm sure your, er, Kris' ship has something like that." He looked at Kris pointedly, clearly as ready to go as Nero. Already he was tugging Nero towards the ship.

Nero shook his head as Kris made ready to protest. Instead, the wizard just sighed, bending over to hoist the large daemon up, easily. "Go right in," he said, with a roll of his eyes, dragging Korine's limp, heavy body into the ship after the boys.

"We will, thanks," Harlee called over his shoulder with false cheeriness, hoping Kris dropped the lump that was Kor. He held not love for the demon, but wanted what was best for Nero. "Wish I knew how to fly on of these things. Do you know how, Nero?"

"Dude, I'm human. I didn't know spaceships like this fucking existed until two months ago." Nero shrugged, stepping on board. "Kris! Where's the food?!" he called off.
"In the damn kitchen!"
"I don't remember where it is!"
"Go down the hall and make two lefts!" Kris called back. Nero grinned at Harlee before speeding down the hall.

"Two months?" Harlee cried, trotting after Nero. He was much more interested in Nero's story than in eating at the moment. "How in the world did you end up here then? I mean with your bodguar--er, Kris, it's unthinkable that you could have been kidnapped. What in the world happened?" He asked.

"Short version?" Nero asked, rummaging through the fridge. "Ahhh...my mom lied to me for 20 years, was dying and on her deathbed told me about Kris being a wizard and me being half-fae. I asked Kris to help me find my dad and we went on a trip, in our favorite rocketship. Ended up on cat-planet and went for a walk one morning then--boom--slave." Nero said, with nonchalance.

"Nero," Harlee replied anxiously, "Nero that's horrible! I'm sorry that happened to you." He bit his lip, wanting to ask about zerca. He hadn't been back to his home planet for a very long time. "How do you know Kris then? Is he family? Most of our kind don't reveal ourselves to human." He watched Nero raid the fridge curiously.

Nero shrugged. "I mean, it's okay. I'm coping with it." he said, "Oh! Pizza!"
"Hm? Oh, Kris has been my best friend since middle school." Nero shrugged with a mouthful of cold pizza. "He lived with me and mom since I was 12."

Harlee's brow furrowed in confusion. Coping? Nero was so calm about it. Harlee inwardly shook himself and didn't ask further on the matter. He wasn't quite sure what pizza was so he ignored that too. "Why was he living with you?" Harlee asked instead. Had Kris hoped to find a mate in Nero?

Nero went over to the auto heater and set the box of pizza inside. He hummed happily when it dinged and took the box out. "Have some?" he asked the boy.
"And I dunno. He told me his parents had kicked him out at the time. But I guess that was a lie and my father sent him to watch over me." Nero explained.

Harlee examined the pizze and wrinkled his nose. He shook his head, very obviously declining. He went to the table and sat though, gazing thoughtfully at Nero. "I've heard of some families championing others for generations. Perhaps its the same between your family line and Kris'?"
