[584] A bet.

Lakur changed the direction of this conversation, sensing the tension developing.

[I apologize for going out of...bounds.]

[It's alright, It's understandable, really.]

But Lanesha, couldn't really blame him for what he said, it was, as much as he didn't want to admit it, the truth. She knew he was right.

[But I have a question... Why this planet? Why not on the home planet of the Frost Dragons?]

Lanesha didn't have an answer for this. Lakur was right, Alan would be better off with her, in his own planet where almost everything would do his bidding, It was a good place for him. So his confusion to 'her son' being on Earth, A dreaded planet by the supreme beings, was...confusing.

Lakur, asked it as a probing question, He had other suspicions about Alan's identity, He had done his own check-up...but the fear in his eyes was still apparent.

[He's still a fish.]

[What?]
