Fangy draped over his mistresses shoulder - perhaps his favourite position as he read the conversation between his angel and Deli.

His sensual mouth curved into a grin, "Oh come on luv, you gotta let me play."

Angeline smirked, "As if I don't let you play enough!"

With a laugh, she scouted over, and Fangy took her place before the monitor. Reaching up, he pulled her down so she would sit on his lap.

And the game was on.

He loved this game he played with Deli, kept him on his toes. They traded quips then...

Fangy stared hard at the words, he felt Angeline shift uneasily on his lap.

"What does that say luv?"

Angeline bit her tongue, "Fangy..."

It seemed Deli also realised her mistake as the word 'Ooops' appeared.

Very slowly, Fangy reached out to reply oh so calmly. 'WHAT THE FUCK???'

Angeline sighed, slumping, but Fangy ignored her. 'Deli luv, what do you mean 'Loth saved you from the train'?'

Deli took her sweet time answering, 'Fangy, it's not what you think.'

'What do you mean?'

But after much prodding it was clear that Deli wasn't going to say anything that would endanger her bot.

Jaw clenching, he got up - if Deli or Angeline won't say anything, he knew someone who would, after persuasion that is.

Angeline stared after him, worried. She turned her attention back to the screen, reading Deli's anxious reply, she rushed to reassure her friend.

Worried frown still firmly in place, she quickly signed off, promising to talk to Deli later. Right now, she had a furious clone on her hands that had to be dealt with.

Seth lay on his back, reading. He was prepared for it when Fangy burst into his room.

Without pausing, Fangy hauled him upright and into their training room.

"Fang....what the hell......"

Fangy didn't pause and Seth found his silence unnerving. The door slammed behind them with a ring of finality.

"Okay, you gonna tell me what's wrong with you now?"

Fangy glared at him, "Is it true?"

"Is it what true?" Seth quickly decided to play this straight, when Fangy was this pissed off it wasn't in the interest of his well-being that he employ snarkiness.

"Loth, train."

The words were bitten off as if the idea of Loth saving him from a train was unthinkable. Seth sighed, "How did you find out?"

Fangy growled, "So it's true?"

Seth frowned, "Did Lin tell you?"

"Don't answer my question with your question!" Fangy snapped, he already had his answer.

He sat down on the mats with a heavy thud. "Just great! What am I supposed to do now?"

Seth eyed him warily, "Nothing?"

Fangy growled at him, "Stupid bot! The git saved my life. You don't walk away from a debt like that!"

Seth sat down next to him with yet another sigh, "What do you want to do about it?"

Fangy shook his head, "Nothing - but that's not an option now is it?"

The clone sat there for the longest time, deep in thought while Seth fidgeted uncomfortably.

Fangy finally got to his feet, Seth stared after him, "What are you going to do Fang?"

"Something I never thought of doing." he threw over his shoulder, heading straight for the workshop, leaving a bewildered Seth sitting on the mats.

"How long has he been in there?"

Seth shrugged, "A while...." he shook his head, "I didn't think he'd take it so badly."

Angeline touched his arm, "His pride is on the line Seth - you understand right?"

Seth nodded, "Yeah pet, understand all that rot, but..."

The two of them stood before the locked workshop door, listening intently
