All it took was a quick hop back to the central lab to see Kline sat at one of the desks, his head buried in his hands. And I was about to move us forward when I took pity on the sorry looking bastard. Yes, he'd aided the Faeries, but, again, I couldn't say I blamed him. 'What will you do after this? Ellize is no place to live.'
The scientist shrugged. 'Maybe; it's still home, though.'
'Well, should you change your mind, you're welcome on my realm, Brockwing Vale, where you'll find plenty of like-minded scientists eager to study the workings of the universe.'
Kline brightened at that. 'I don't know what to say, Jake.'
'I'll take that as a yes. And there's nothing to say; you deserve a second chance, and I'm willing to give you one. Just wait here.'
