Erik relaxed somewhat, the tension visibly ebbing from his shoulders as she kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes which forced tears out, thankful for Joanne and her love. Not once had he thanked her for coming for him. "I love you," he said just barely above a whisper. Right now, he'd go wherever she wanted. He just wanted to be safe and with her. These people...it was just too much for him. The pure shock of waking up like this combined with the screams of horror were just too much. "Just take me home. I hate it here." He took hold of one of her hands in his and pressed it delicately to his cheek or what was left of it, sighing from the cool touch to him.
