The next morning was bright and sunny and there was a knock at the door as the sun started making its way through the windows.

Steven was sleeping on the living room couch with a stack of books on the table and one resting on his chest, his hat covering his face. When there was a knock at the door, he sat up suddenly, his hat and the book falling into his lap. "Coming." She said, shambling to his feet and walking to the door.

Ryze was waiting in front of the door for him. "Good morning, Sir. Just reminding you that we'll be leaving for the laboratory soon." She announced.

Steven looked back and forth then back at Ryze and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "Right. Come on in. I'll be ready in a few." He said, retreating to the bathroom and leaving the door open for her.

Ryze didn't accept his offer of coming inside, preferring to wait outside instead. Se did inch close enough to the door to have a good peek inside the room and see what kind of place they prepared for her charge.

After a brush of the teeth and comb of the hair, he resolved himself not having tome for a shower. It was lucky the pace was well prepared. About 5 minutes later he was back in the living room, all but his slightly wrinkled on the back shirt that gave way to his sleeping in it the night before looking fresh. "Ready when you are."

"Then if you'll please follow me, Sir." Ryze told him and started away from the apartment. There was a blanket neatly folded and left next to the wall they passed. "It's a bit of a walk to the lab. I hope you don't mind."

Steven took note of the blanket and looked to the small dragon leading the way. "You, uh, stood watch all night?" He asked, making though he was starting conversation.

"That is my job, Sir. And I take my job very seriously." She told Steven. "Even if others don't." She added softly, not expecting Steven to hear it.

"I see. What was your job again? Exactly?" Steven said, walking along.

"I am a police officer for the town's police department." The little dragon told him. "Right now I'm assigned to be your guard and provide you with whatever it is you need as long as it falls within my duties."

"Fair enough. So you're supposed to guard me?" He said as they were walking.

"Yes. And I assure you that I'm fully capable of doing just that, Sir." She said proudly. "You're in good hands."

"But, what if someone tried to get in through the back. You wouldn't be able to protect me from out front." he said.

"I'm a trained police officer. I assure you that I know how to guard a building and the person inside." She told him. "I've taken every precaution to keep you safe... as far as I'm able." She seemed to be reluctant to add the last part to her sentence.

"Oh no, I'm not doubting your ability, but it might make sense to guard from inside the house? Maybe? That way you can get to a disturbance as fast as possible." Steven added.

"That would be unprofessional of me." Ryze told him. "You are also entitled to your privacy. You are a guest after all, not a prisoner."

"Hmm..." Steven mused to himself, falling silent as he thought of what to say next.

With Steven out of arguments Ryze was content to lead him further in silence.

Steven looked around, at the dragons here and there that he could see. Trying to spot as many different kinds as he could and see what they were doing.

The path they took didn't have many dragons and the ones they did see seemed mostly busy with getting from one point to another.

Walking along, Steven pulled out hit notepad and pen and started jotting down some points about this and that.

After a while Ryze spoke up. "That's the lab over there." She said pointing towards a large building. "You should be meeting your friend Reza over there as well."

"Alright." He said, flipping his notebook closed, replacing the pen into the spiral binding, and slipping it into his pocket.

After some more silence as they walked Reza also came into view in front of the building. A large grey dragon was standing a few feet away from him with a scowl on his face, unless this dragon just looked that way and it wasn't a scowl at all.

Steven put on his debonair smile and waved to Reza and this new dragon as they approached.

"Steven!" Reza greeted him as he walked up to meet him. "Never thought it'd be you they'd send over."

"Guess it was luck of the draw." Steven said, "And who's this guy here?" he asked, gesturing to the grey dragon.

"My bodyguard. Just ignore him, he doesn't talk much." Reza replied. "That's Maverick, Sir." Ryze answered him instead. Maverick walked up to them. "Ryze? They put you on this job?" "Yeah, so?" Ryze asked. Maverick's scowl traveled from Ryze to Steven, but he didn't say anything else.

"Good day sir." Steven greeted with a tip of his hat to the larger dragon.
