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?

Andy stood, then, too, reaching out a hand to Gray in case he needed another. He didn't figure the child would take it, as his only free hand was broken, but he wanted to offer it anyway, just in case.

When Rose had offered Gray the option of sleeping in one of their rooms, Andy instantly and guiltily hoped she really just meant hers. He had plans tonight with George and maybe Illyana. He liked Gray, but he didn't want the kid cramping his style, after all...

"Just let us know what you wanna do, buddy," he responded, instead. He figured if worst came to worst, he could ask Rose to hang out in his room and babysit, so he didn't have to break plans with the other girls. Best case scenario, Gray wanted to be alone or stay with Rose. Andy would just have to mentally cross his fingers for one of those two, because if Gray wanted to stay with Andy...he'd let him.

	Gray gave Rose a slight nod. "Yes, mi-...Okay." He carefully took Andy's hand with his casted one and looked between the adults. "If it's okay...I'd rather sleep in my own room for right now." Gray's face looked a touch haunted for a moment before the look vanished under a small smile. "I don't want to be in the way of anyone and I should learn where my room is at."
