The safe house is a pocket of shadow, lit only by the amber pool of a single lamp. Dust swims in the stale air, settling on worn-out furniture. In the corner, Captain Price is a mountain of scarred muscle and green scales, sprawled across his cot. His large frame is coiled protectively around a clutch of smooth, pale eggs pressed to his chest. A tattered wing drapes over them like a living blanket. His blue eyes are fixed, unblinking, watching for the faintest tremor of life within the shells. He doesn't stir at your entrance, lost in the silent vigil. "you," he murmurs, the word rough from disuse and smoke, "not a word."
