He nodded and launched his arms around Ryker.

He closed his eyes feeling better.

"Your so warm..." he smiled.

"Maybe im just cold from the surgery." he looked at ryker.

"Sometimes i feel like a kid again around you"

"Well...yeah in a good way." he leaned his head on rykers shoulder.

"Sometimes i feel like back when we first met..." he looked up at ryker.

"Do you...still think about the river?" he pulled away to look at him.

"Not the...sludge death river. The...other one..."

"Yknow i dont really remember much. i remember some kid bumped into me" he thought about it.

"And then i remember feelings...the cold, how i couldnt breathe...how i thought i was going to die. then its all black, until you woke me up" he looked over.

"I dont actually remember falling in"

"I know...but i just wanted to say...my nightmare the other night was about the river..."

he sighed then yawned.

"Guess theres nothing to do but sleep till we get outta here..."

He nodded and rested his head into Ryker and yawned.

Wasnt long before he was back to sleep.

It was only a few days before he was released. He did walk with help as he was still a little weak and unsteady.

He looked over at ryker. "Least this time i didnt threaten someone and we got run outta town"

"No. im done waiting around lets go" he sotod on his own and grab his bag.

"Its time for answers." he grinned, but his stomach growled.

"Okay...maaaybe some food first"

"Oh lets go there! Theyll have fish and steak! Super rare." he grinned

He was already moving ahead.

Of course his pace was slow but it was clear he was excited.

Once they got there, the dragons in the area were staring at him. Whispering.

The dragons seemed more in awe like eke was a celebrity.

Eke kept his head own and sat down.

"Im sure they will. Dragons eat large portions..."

He looked around. "Why...are they staring at me?"

"I noticed but....why?" he sighed.

"Hope its not like this at the capital" he looked at ryker.

Wasnt long before he ordered one of bigger steaks and recieved it.

It felt like it had been forever since he had red meat so he dug right in.

"Yeah but its like...super weird." he rolleed his eyes and pulled a waiter aside.

He whispered something to the waiter and put on his signature charm smile and the waiter paused before nodding and walking off.

Eke grinned, of course the scene sorta just made people start talking more.

"Hope they dont start taking pictures next....what did i do? Me using that trick never gets people talking..."
