Ever since Otoha had gone home Johnny had made extra good on his initial promise to crash in the man's apartment instead of his own, so when his moirail went missing, Johnny noticed. The vampire also noticed the sudden lack of little girl who had been sticking close as well.

Honestly, his strongest desire was to find the guy who'd shown up in their dreams and tear him a new one for once again separating them, but he knew that wouldn't be all that easy if even possible and, more than that, his parental instincts were kicked into high gear when Desco didn't come back.

So, now there was a swarm of bats flying over the city until, finally, he noticed the destruction in the Capricorn district. The swarm flew into the crater Desco was in and reformed into the vampire who moved to kneel next to the little girl, his tone soft.

"Hey, here you are..." He reached out to pet her hair.
