Ryu shook his head and brought out Little Gem, gently stroking the little ones head. If there was anyone as depressed about Ailsa's coma as him, it was definitely this one right here. 

Without Ailsa, Ryu couldn't afford to ignore the little one for long. So, he had no choice but to continue Little Gem's treatment on his own based on Ailsa's plan. 

Sarriel blinked several times, seeing Ryu take out such an adorable little beast. She almost wanted to rush over and nuzzle with it. But, thinking of Ryu's personality, she had no choice but to hold her womanly instincts back, pulling all the will power she could muster together.
