Frowning as she saw him shrug his own injuries off as if it wasn’t important saddened her. The fact he was taking a disregard to his own health made her wonder if he was coming to the conclusion that he was going to die here. Something she desperately didn’t want to happen. The thought of him being killed here was absolutely horrifying and she didn’t want him to give up hope even though there was barely a slither of a chance at getting out of here alive. Not for him, her own chances weren’t looking great either, but she had a far better chance than he did. That was all dependant on Ethan though, he didn’t seem all there anymore, and she knew that he was still mad over her and Caspain and wanting to share his cell. That alone probably rubbed salt in the wound that was already there.
Even with her words about her father and his father potentially coming to their rescue it was highly unlikely. If they did come to their rescue it would be great, but they couldn’t sit here and hope on it. They would have to make their own escape and she didn’t know how to do it, not without any of them getting hurt. Though they were going to die anyway so would it really matter if they tried something and got hurt? As much as she hated to admit it, he was right about Ethan, it didn’t sound like her father had any say in anything anymore. “I don’t understand… retirement. It doesn’t make sense. He lived and breathed this rebellion even though his morals were wrong… he would never just give up on what he believes is to be the right cause.”
Then there was his father, who had not found him yet and she didn’t know why. The comment Caspain made only caused her to flinch because she felt it was true, surely, he would have been found by now but yet they were now in the rebellion holding cell. Getting their hopes up would be useless, but at least she could be with him as she didn’t want him to be alone. She didn’t want to be alone either, even if these were going to be their last moments. Thinking on it who would she want to see in her last moments? Her father? Not likely, Maisie of course, but the one person she would want to say goodbye too would have been Caspain.
Closing her eyes as she leaned into him as well thankful for him being beside her, his presence was calming even though they were likely to go to their death soon. “I wish I could get you out of here, I’ll think of something.” Whispering out her words as she relaxed sitting beside him, “You should get some rest, before they think of a punishment. No doubt he will come back once his leg has been seen too.” Although it was afternoon when this had happened, she knew that even if he got in a bit of rest now he could start to recover, wounds could start to heal before worse ones made an appearance.
