Bran didn't sleep during the night, save for a few times when he dozed off for a couple minutes before Erik saw fit to awaken him. Even if Lotte didn't trust him anymore, he still had to watch over her; he didn't know Brian or Lucas, which meant he had no idea what their tales were and whether or not they were dangerous. Erik, of course, trusted no one and refused to let his attention wander for very long - apparently he didn't think the tension between him and Lotte would have any sort of effect on himself and Christine. You're an idiot, Bran told him fiercely, tempted to burst his happy little bubble and tell him the truth - something along the lines of 'Spoiler alert, Christine is terrified of you and ends up with Raoul while you die in the basement.'

If he did tell him, then with his luck Erik would gain control and go throw himself off the nearest building, so it really wasn't an option. There was nothing he could do but wait until sunrise, and then they could think about finding food and possibly better shelter.

When the first rays of sun filtered through the cracks in the boarded-up windows, Bran uncurled himself from his position on the floor and got to his feet. The street outside seemed quiet, but who knew how long that would last? He glanced back to wait and see who else was awake before starting to make any concrete plans.

She kept quiet, wrapping the bread up again as a way to distract herself. It wasn't much, but if they met up with Lucas and Brian again, everyone should be able to get a few mouthfuls. Her stomach growled at the thought, but she ignored it. "I don't know," she said again, not looking at him. It seemed to be the answer to all of their questions.

There was a moment more before she stood. Brushing her skirt off out of habit, she moved towards the door. The guilt from before stopped her from cringing as she slipped past him; and it made her stop a step away. Turning back, she met his eyes with a grimace. "I'm sorry." She only half-meant it - most of her apologies were out of instinct, rather than sincerity. But the guilt was simply getting stronger, even as she knew this couldn't be her fault. Not this time.

Neither of you know anything. Silly children. He sighed, finding it harder and harder to keep his replies silent instead of yelling out loud. Resisting the urge to tell Erik that there probably wasn't enough of an age difference to warrant being called a child, he turned to follow Lotte outside, even though he would have preferred to go first.

Bran had no idea why she was apologizing - was it to placate him, or something she simply felt she should say? "Don't apologize. You didn't do anything." He didn't feel any better about the situation, and this time he moved past her to exit the building.
