Zeke didnt reply to Luce, and just sniffed.

He took a quick shower before getting dressed and heading down to Zekes room. He knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.

She closed the door and walked back to her own room.

Zeke got up and opened the door, and Caspian was shocked how depressed and scared he looked. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was puffy from crying, and he looked miserable. He said softly, *oh. Hi.*

He kneeled down, wrapping his arms around Zeke. "Try and get some rest today, I'll need you at your best this afternoon." He whispers before getting up and looking down at Zeke one more time before following Lucia.

He catches up to her and grabs her hand. "He's a wreck."

Zeke nodded and closed the door, and sounds of sobbing could be heard from his room, along with words, mostly, *i cant.*

She nods. " I know. " She replies quietly.

"I cant let him go with me to interrogate that man if he isnt put together. Itd be too risky." He mutters, running a hand through his hair.

Zeke rose and walked out, and said softly, *then dont bring me along. Just... tell me what he says. And if he tells me where Ma- Pyro is, then I dont care how Im acting. Ill come along. And he will pay.* he said, growling at those last words as his Lycan, which normallly stays dormant, showed itself.
