"My name's Lanza... And you could say... I need your help with something, something important... I'm asking you to help... Nothing more..." She stood away from Jaq, so she couldn't mess around with him anymore. She went over and sat back down, waiting for his answer. Thinking to herself over a few things, recent events and all.

Jaq's head and particularly those constantly-moving ears followed her before he flipped himself back around to face her. "Well I'm all ears, speak woman!"
The dragon settled down on the table and let out another angry hiss, sticking its tongue out at Lanza and baring its sharp little fangs.

"Well... I can't tell you here, so I was wondering if you maybe... Would like to come with me back to my ship?" She looked down at the dragon and stared at it for another moment, and for atleast a second or two her eyes went all evil and creepy like. Then back to normal, now she was giving off a more demon like vibe...

The dragon's hiss grew more ferocious and leapt closer to Jaq, back arched like a cat's. The wolf put a hand on one spread wing, his blind eyes widening slightly in alarm behind the glasses. The dragon was often unruly around people, but not quite like this...
"Uh-ummmm...no? Look, whatever it is, it doesnt' much matter where you say it. It's not like my house is bugged. Though then again, how would I know? Haha! But seriously, no one would bother keeping tabs on a blind man who's scarcely home 'cept to sleep. Come on, now." That smirk stayed in place and he leaned forward again, tail wagging slightly expectantly.

"Ah fine... I'll say it, there's this ancient stuff back on my ship... Me and your father talked about it before... But, we thought maybe you could help with it? Even if you can't see it." She waited for his answer, but even if he said no again. She'd etheir end up forcing him to come with her, or try something else. Lanza had access to hundreds of weapons and other resources, she could try blowing up his house. But that wouldn't be the smartest idea.

Jaq's slightly annoying grin quickly faded and his tail became stiff. She'd mentioned the book, right? And ancient. For some reason he connected the two. For some reason he understood the words though no one else could despite that he couldn't see them. But she couldn't be talking about that, right? 'Course not. For all she knew, Jaq didn't have it. Except...well, all his relatives knew, it wouldn't be that hard.
He made a mental note to put that thing in a vault next chance he got.
"Well...tempting...but..." Jaq couldn't explain it, but he was liking this woman less and less with every word out of her mouth. "Um...I don't know anything about ancient stuff. Unless it's ancient Greek, I know Latin! Heheh...heh..." His hand found the staff again consciously. "But what do I care about ancient junk? Know what I mean?"

"Your hiding something... And let's just say... Earth will explode, that's why you should care..." She stood up again, but this time, there was no sound to let Jaq know that she had gotten up. She moved again, but this time a little further away from him. "Unless... You would want that to happen?" Her toen was serious, which mean't she wasn't lying...

Jaq immediately stood up, shoving the chair back. "Excuse me?" he asked coldly, one palm pressed flat on the table the other still wrapped around the staff. His ears were flattened, his head down a little. "Soo...are you saying the earth will explode unless I come? Or it will explode no matter what?" His ears flattened a little further. "And unless you speak plain we're staying right here."

She grinned, now she'd have a better chance to explain it too him. "Unless you come... The Earth will explode atleast a year from now... The Surface of the planet will be scourched, and water shall disappeared. Then, the plates that the continents sit on will burst and break into space..." She took walked right up to Jet and leaned closer.
"Are you willing to come now?"

Jaq pulled back a little, a snarl fixing on his features. The dragon let out a puff of smoke at his side.
"Yea...yea, I'll come." Still don't see why you need me. But whatever. Jaq gently pressed the end of his staff against her, and that grin came back. "Personal space, please."

"Let's go then..." Lanza backed away from him and turned to the doorway, there was a honking from outside. The limo was back, and just on time, kinda convient huh? She began walking towards tthe front door, not waiting for him to catch up. She knew he could manage on his own.

The drake landed on Jaq's shoulder once more and the wolf just stood there, straight, the staff not held in both hands behind his back. He frowned for a moment, not moving, trying to consider his options. But she hadn't really left him with any. And in the end he followed, the dragon still hissing and spitting as it fluttered its wings.
He locked the door behind him and then entered the back of the limo. From here he was silent, trying to figure things out.
