      Frustration appears in the older Alicein’s eyes as the other begins his rebellion. With that, however, he moves over swiftly. Putting his arms on the others shoulder to sort of encourage him to lay back down – he knew Tetsu was probably physically stronger then him, but? While the other was sick, he could probably at least enforce that the other stay there.

      “You are not goin’ anywhere, Eve of Pride. If ya start movin’ around, and insist on headin’ home? You’ll only be puttin’ yourself in further danger. Right now, just concentrate on restin’. Or you’re going to be a lot of trouble for a lot of people.”

       The words were not meant to hurt the other feelings – even if the older Alicein couldn’t say he particularly trusted the boy, he knew Misono did. And that was reason enough to keep him alive at least. “Do you not have a brain, boy? You ‘ave a god-awful fever. If you try to bring yourself home right now, you’ll pass out on the road and likely be taken out by one of Tsubaki’s subclass. Do ya really want to upset your Servamp and yer friends like that?” He was scolding him now, keeping his grip firm on the others shoulder. “Until ya recover, I’m not lettin’ you leave here without a fight. I’ll subdue ya by force if I have to. Just ‘cause I don’t like you doesn’t mean I’m about to let you upset my brother that way. Right now, yer in my shop. So I’m not ‘bout to let you wonder about it and damage my property. Lay down. Stay layin’. I’ll take care of ya until we can get ya home.”

      When he saw his brother struggle to meet his gaze – he could feel an overwhelming amount of s e l f shame wash over him. There was nothing wrong with how Tetsu and Old Child had done. They’d only been put in danger because of Mahiru and himself - because his E V E insisted on being a good person. Because - - - ! Well...They’d have been better off remaining as they had been, without becoming ALLIES of their jumbled mess of a team.

      Now his brother was INJURED. No. no. Not injured, crippled. Fighting Tsubaki hadn’t only left Hugh in a tight spot, but also Hyde/Lawless. . . If anyone should be apologizing, it was K U R O.

      He had been the one who had been l a t e. And though that wasn’t uncommon for the SERVAMP of SLOTH, it seems his retreat from responsibilities. . . had h u r t his family. And he felt immense shame for having been so late to action that his brothers were both suffering now. ‘… they’re not the first to have suffered for trusting me…’ G U I L T. Guilt soaked his thoughts, his everything, as he moved carefully to casually scratch at the back of his head. “… it’s alright.” Kuro - Sleepy Ash - mutters aloud, finally. His crimson eyes dodging the others… “You were fine. I was just… late.”

      As the eldest s e r v a m p, he was the one that people looked to for answers. And yet, here he was. He didn’t know what he could do to tell P R I D E that they weren’t responsible. ( . . . this was part of the very reason he h a t e d doing anything. FEELING responsible for anything. Making choices. ) “… please… don’t apologize. Just focus on feeling better.”
