She stayed still for a moment before she wrapped her arms around him like he was the only thing keeping her alive. "You're gonna die. You're gonna die because of me, and it'll be all my fault, and your life- all of it- wasted. Why couldnt you just let me go? You would be fine, why couldnt you just... just let me die?" There was a lot of voice breaking through her sentences, her voice getting softer and softer until it withered into nothing and she sobbed into the crook of his neck. (Ah yes, angry girl syndrome- first, act like nothings going on. 2. Reject person. 3. Scream. 4. Cry. 5. Death scene. 6. End credits

He listened to her, he couldn't find a response. He really had wasted so much. But he didn't really mind. He'd worry about that and many other things in a while. He didn't need to worry about anything while he was holding her. (*Simple man*) He let her lean into him and cry. He sighed. They had a chance of escape, right? Maybe Zeus would wake up earlier than they thought. Or they could steal someone's weapon and escape. However with the crossbows that he'd seen around the men that he'd never heeded the presence of till now, those might be an issue. They had a whole day to figure it out. Surely, surely that was enough..

She sobbed into his neck for an undeterminable amount of time. It might have been minutes, it might have been an hour before she pulled herself together. She sniffled and and grabbed one of his hands, pulling him gently down to the ground. "...I'm glad you're here. But I wish you weren't. Does that make sense?" She tilted her head up at him, squeezing his hand while she waited.

Ethan was probably on the verge of falling asleep the whole time but barely managed to not. He tilted his head as she pulled him down. He crossed his legs, rubbing her hand. "Yeah I think it does." He was still a bit out of it. All of the events had been very sudden for him, nothing really made sense right then.

"Are you okay? No, that was a stupid question, obviously. You're not okay. Uhm- I dont think I can do much for your wounds, but I can answer any questions you might have." She settled in beside him, laying her head on his shoulder and choosing not to realize she had just had a very embarrassing cry on him and probably looked like a puffed up rat. (She didnt- just a bit more red than usual)

"What wounds?-" He looked around at himself. "Oh- its just bruises from the fall and that ass who kept kicking my leg." He narrowed his eyes and stretched out his left leg. An unreadable expression on his face before he looked down at her. "How many parents and siblings do you have? I couldn't count."

"Well I have my mother and father. All my siblings and I share our father- My mother only had me, then she died. Alex's mother married my father, Alex was her only child. She hates me, simply because I- exist, I guess. Kieth's mother takes care of all of them, but she only had Kieth. Fitz and Biana are twins, they obviously share a mother. Rean and Astraea share a mother, which- strangely- was my mothers sister. Its wierd. Anyway, Kieths mother got custody of all of them, but Alex's mother took Alex away when he was... thirteen? He moved about when I left the Thieves Guild. We used to be really close, actually... anyway. If you ask them, theyll probably all say one of two things: I havent got a mother, or my mother is Angelica. Thats Keiths mother." She sighed. "Its alot to keep up with."

He looked at her like she was crazy, barely any of it registered "Damn." Was all he could really register. "You have more family than- I don't know. Hopefully they might be safe?" He looked at her remorsefully, rubbing her hand with his thumb.

"Keith will take care of them. He's-" she sighed. "He's different. Grew up too fast. I shouldn't have left them, they were fine before I had this stupid Idea of flying halfway over the world for a chance at a better life. I was planning on taking them, but... it didnt work out. I thought they'd be fine. And now I got them dragged into all this mess with Alex..." She pulled her knees up to her chest and pulled her hand away from him. She buried her face in her hands and gave a loud sigh.

"It's okay, the people of the town can help them out a lot." He sat up a little, touching the bruised ribs on his left side. Yep. Still tender. He looked down. He shouldn't have done this. He took a deep breath, a small smile on his face as he looked up at her. "It'll be okay. As long as they don't hurt Zeus. Or i'll come back and haunt his ass."
