Gray could hardly see for the pain from his beating for stealing food as a guard shoved him into his cell for the night. Oh he had known better, he really had, but the little scrap of fish left from his owners' extravagant dinner mixed with not eating anything for nearly three days made him abandon his training for that brief second. What made the beating particularly sting is that he hadn't even gotten the morsel to his mouth. So along with his stomach cramping from hunger his back was now bloody and raw and the offending hand broken.

The young boy curled up on the hard rock floor and cried silently, wondering if anyone would ever come to rescue him. "Mama...Papa...Big Brother....Where are you?" He whispered, closing his eyes and trying to sleep despite the discomfort and pain.

He dreamt of Boeshane and its night time chill, the scent of it ocean air and the sounds of home. It was a bitter sweet dream one that lead to confusion when he woke up to a bitter cold. Gray slowly opened his eyes and looked around in utter surprise and loss as he stared out at a field of snow in front of him and buildings behind him.

Where in the Universe was he?

"Fine, I'll just tell 'em off," Andy replied, compromising. "I won't let anyone hurt you, anymore, all right?" That was the point Andy was trying to get across, anyway.

Gray wrapped his arms around Andy's neck and Andywrapped his arms around the little boy's body before standing, sickeningly surprised at how easy the child was to lift. Andy wasn't a strong guy, but Gray was awfully light; he hadn't gotten a good look, but he guessed that if he did, he'd have noticed that Gray was emaciated.

He shifted himself so that one of his arms was beneath Gray's bottom and the other on the back of his head if only because he had nowhere else to put it and thought, by the way Gray was acting and from what he remembered from the Lifetime movie, the kid's back was probably taking the brunt of the beatings. Easier to hide the resulting injuries, that way, if the movie had any basis to reality.

"Are you hungry?" Andy asked. "Tired?" He wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do to help Gray, but maybe asking would be a good start.

I could use some clothes in this kid's size and a first aid kit, if it's not too much, Mirage, he thought at the Planet, hoping that the stuff would be waiting for him when he got back to his room. And a friggen instruction manual, while you're at it, he thought miserably to himself in addition.

The young boy nodded slightly, resting his head against the man's shoulder tiredly. "Alright."

Gray shifted, clinging tighter to the man for warmth as he tried to hold back shivers despite the jacket.

"Are you hungry? Tired?" The man asked. Gray sighed softly. "Both sir...Haven't eaten if 4 days..."

The boy idly wonders if people here would brake his hand if he tried to take food without permission. The man holding him said he'd protect him but Gray couldn't find it in him to trust the promise and that simple fact made him cry silently.
