Demetrius wheeled himself around, his tone icy as he spoke. "Ule Cyrus, everyone has their limits, and if those limits are essed, there will be consequences. If you give up on recruiting vette, we can still be family" Cyrus froze, imally understanding his nephew's thoughts. It was the first time in years Demetrius had spoken so openly- and he realized that without Yvette, his nephew might never have opened up like this. Rather than reacting with anger, Cyrus chuckled. "So, being your mele means I can't recruit Yvette, and you being my nephew means the same. In other words, I'm not allowed near her, right?" Demetrius met Cyrus' gaze, his voice firm. "It's not that you're not allowed. It's that you simply can't."

I don't dare stop the medication for fear of complications. All leant is for Yvette to re-diagnose my condition and prescribe something that doesn't taste so awful. Why is that so much to ask?'

Demetrius studied Cyrus' earnest expression and, sensing his sincerity, softened. "Prepare a 300 million dollar consultation fee, and I'll ask Yvette if she's willing"

Cyrus let out a chuckle, amused and exasperated. 'Demetrius, I'm your uncle. You really don't pull any punches when it comes to setting consultation fees on Yvette's behalf, do you?"

Demetrius pushed the door open, paused briefly, and raised an eyebrow as he responded. "Blood is thicker than water, but business is business."
