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 smiled, nodding.

"'Course you can. Don't worry, I'll walk slow enough that you don't have to let go of him but I'll still have to walk fast because of the snow."

Standing up, she quickly pulled off her hoody, pulling it around him.

"There, can't get you too cold. Now if anything hurts, you tell me okay?"

Carefully, she picked him up, ensuring that she had a tight enough grip on him but that it wasn't too tight.

"Just lay your head on my shoulder if you like."

Andy watched Rose fondly with appreciation as she picked Gray up and spoke softly to him. She really had a way with kids. Part of him had to wonder if she had any of her own that she hadn't mentioned - Andy thought, anyway, she'd make a good mom.

"I can keep up," Andy said with a smile, looking away from her and back at Gray. "No problem, buddy."

When Rose picked him up, Andy stepped up beside her, not at all disliking the need to stand so close to her as he held a hand out for Gray to take. "Ready to roll, kiddo?"

	Gray snuggled slightly into Rose's hold and took Andy's hand as he rested his head against the blond's shoulder. "I'm ready." He closed his eyes, relaxing slightly and only opening them as the walk back outside. He stares at the snow in fascination, noticing it this time around. "It's pretty." (Reply to this) (Parent)
