Desman's Paying, Obviously!!

[Jak Mar]

The eco-warrior eyed the two warp whistles, his collection one less now that Ash had blown one of them and vanished to wherever. It only dawned on him at that moment that there was only one other place - to his knowledge - she has been...

"SHIT!!" Jak cursed out loud as he punched the dark pillows of the bed in the center of Ash's room as if that was going to calm his anger any.

He rubbed his hair a bit in the silence, rather frustrated.

Jaw clenched his jaw together before letting out a sigh and finally slipped his warp whistles away.

But even with a semi-blank canvas all around him to calm his mind, the concern for Ash was deep in his heart and overrode the mild annoyance of feeling useless.

His shame lowered his eyes to the floor, and he caught the site of a small object on the floor. Curious, Jak moved over towards it. In this strange emotional state he hadn't expected to find joy as well, but his inner rebel jumped at the idea of being free of the cuffs as he scooped his key up. He spun it on his finger in a victorious kind of way before reaching it down to unlock his bindings.

He stopped abruptly. Ash coming back to mind. The fact that he'd given it to he to keep specifically fluttered across his mind. As well. Lights words about how Dark had been tamed by her. He clutched the key in his hand and stared at the cuffs, but he knew it was wrong.

Jak sighed and moved over to the computer, it was comically complicated but also cool looking. He just placed the key on top of one of the machines next to the variety of controllers. It seemed fitting as she seemed to have control over him.

He turned to the elevator, walking in and pushing the button for the upper floors. Maybe Desman would be up there, there was a lot to talk about.

The door closed and it moved up. A few minutes later, Jak stepped out only to find a human male instead of a smaller red android. He quirked a brow in confusion but walked closer.

“Who are you and what have you done with Desman?!”

"I am Desman" The human man sighed, looking up at his friend

“WHAT?” Jak's mouth was falling open. "Desman? But.." Was this really his friend? "How?"

"I Dunno myself." The red-haired man sounded annoyed at something as he answered the questions provided by Jak.

Jak was aware of the tension in the room. "You found out as well?" He frowned deeply and pulled out one of the whistles. He took a deep breath and then presented whistle to his friend. "Ash... She took one of my Warp Whistles. Then before I knew it she blew it and was gone..."

"Seems like something she would do." Desman grunted, pulling the newly popped toast out of the toaster, buttering it and taking a nice healthy bite of it. You could practically hear his anger in the crunch.

Jak winced at the angry crunching sound that came from the human that was clearly Des. He couldn't tell if the other male was mad at Ash, or him for letting her get the whistle. "I'm worried." He said quietly, looking down at his wrist where the cuff still stood. He wasn't sure why he was so concerned, things always went right when the Storm Demon was involved. But this was Coruscant... The same people who stole Daxter away.
