Lulove went around the maid quarters, a document rolled up in her hand. "Have you guys seen Comet?" She asks. Over and over she gets the same answer.
"No one's seen him for at least two days now."

"I went with the Elzensteins to catch a fey, and they told me that if I survived, I could go free, and bring someone with me. I didn't think I would survive, but I did. I thought about how Comet has always been around to cheer me up, so I wanted to offer it to him."

"The way he spoke, he reminded me of how I wanted to die, but....when death finally came for me, I realized I want to live! I think if Comet saw that he could leave, no strings attached, and with payment from the Elzensteins, he'd take it!"

With King in tow, both he and they heard of Lulove's existence here - and after everything, they were curious on how their dragonkin friend was doing.
Though, with the nature of this entire fucking planet, Rum wasn't about to let themselves get caught. Slinking around, they went to find them, spotting them talking to another maid.
"Shit - Hey, King, she's over there."

Lulove holds the paper to her freedom close to her. "I suppose that's right. I'll think about it. I just....I heard stories about what happens to dragonkin without their dragons. The Cosmosdex said they go rabid, slowly start to die in the mind because they hear the endless call of their dragon. I didn't believe it before, Raloud said I shouldn't listen to that thing.

Lulove has never read the entry on Rum's species, the daemons, so she can make no judgement. Though if she had, her judgement would be just as foul as her's on vampwelfs. "I trust them. Raloud didn't, she was kind....She might have seemed rude, but she kinder than me, never judging people. Never expecting them to do evil. It was always me who was worried about people being terrible."

Where was all this power coming from? She thought to herself, as she killed the two animals in front of her. Something was wrong. She felt barely in control of herself.
The Cosmosdex entry states, that the longer a dragonkin is away from their dragon, the more feral they become. They lose the ability to reason. To understand.
They act only on fear and hate alone. Like a true dragon.

Rum can only raise an eyebrow at the healing, but doesn't question it. Enough blood and anger has been spilt already.

"Hmmmm I wonder if my actual first memory was standing by my mother's couch and seeing such a wonderful dragon statue high on the table......"

"-Hey, are we going to see your experiments with the anomaly or are we escorting the dragonkin friend out of here? Or are we going to keep beating this dead horse?"

"After an event like this, I'm not sure if seeing my experiments would be a good time. Plus, I've been stabbed and, you know how long those can take to heal. Hours?" Lumii looks to the group for affirmation, when he doesn't get it, he changes his answer. "Days you know?"

"Just try not to shove any more bodies in freezers, yes?" Rat_King does not wait for an answer. He puts what remains of their creatures on his back and leaves.

They look to the dragonkin as she helps her out of Lumiilove's home. "Let's get you healed up and outta here, kiddo. We'll find someone to help you with your dragon. Promise."
The group takes the dragonkin with them out of the lab, leaving LumiiLove alone.

"Hmmmm....I actually don't know if those people are the type to tell the Drakkens about me......but I really cannot go through another murder. Plus, my fridge barely fits Comet."
LummiiLove spots a paper on the floor, dropped in the fight with the dragonkin.
Maybe there was a way out of here with no bloodshed needed.
He was the person the paper was addressing after all.
