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?

	Rose nodded, smiling. "That's fine, love. You'll want some peace and quiet to sleep, don't need us moving about and annoying you! But you wouldn't get in the way, so I'll show you my room too, and if you need me you come get me, okay?" She wanted to explain the journal too him to but thought it bes to wait until he was in his room. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Once again, Andy felt a little guilty for feeling relieved. It wasn't that he didn't want to help the kid and it wasn't that he felt Gray would get in the way, but Andy just...had plans. And, besides, the little guy was traumatized. With trauma came nightmares, and Andy'd just gotten over his own from the whole thing with Webber. He didn't need to try and help Gray through his own. As far as Andy was concerned, nightmares were in his past, whether they were his own or those of someone else.

"And you know where my room is," Andy pointed out, "if you ever need me." He'd mention the journals when they got back to Gray's room. "Okay, let's go," he said with a small smile. He realized he didn't really know where Gray's room was, but he was already thinking a golem should meet them outside and give them Gray's key, so he was pretty sure that they would encounter just that.

	Gray nodded to both adults, turning his head to stifle another yawn. "Thank you...for everything." The boy smiled shyly, wondering if the two actually knew where is room was. Not yet knowing about the Golems that helped around Mirage. (Reply to this) (Parent)
