Raven didn't say anything more, still staring at the ground and playing with a twig.

Wolfe was silent for a long time. "... That's... not humiliating," he finally murmured, deep anger coming through despite his quiet voice.

Raven swallowed a little, but remained silent.

After a moment, Wolfe stood and started pacing. He looked like a tight spring, ready to pounce. He cussed quietly but fiercely, "No wonder Frei... accepted you," he stated before suddenly turning on Raven. "Who is it?" he demanded in a whisper, voice taking on an edge Raven had never heard from him. His intention was clear.

Raven swallowed again, becoming overly tense himself. "... Ryuji...?" he whispered, a little fear in his voice.

Wolfe froze a little, a darkness filling his eyes as he slowly sank back down on the rock and put a hand over his face.

After another minute, Raven moved a little closer to the rock. "... Ryuji...?" he repeated quietly, still a little fear in his voice. "W... W-Why... did you bring up... Frei..."

Wolfe's silence spoke volumes.

Raven slowly leaned up against the rock, joining in on the silence. He didn't break it anytime soon.

It was a long time before Wolfe spoke again, voice a little calmer but still tense, "... it was one of the deciding factors... determining my decision to escape with Frei," he explained, "I found out... Hayden was..." but he couldn't finish. He paused for a long moment, "His own sister... and they claim she's the one with brain damage," he hissed, a deep hatred filling his voice, "And... then Laurel... and now you..." he cussed for awhile.

Raven slowly opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. After another minute he leaned his head against Wolfe's knee.

"I just... want to kill them all!" Wolfe spat, "They don't deserve their life." He set a hand on Raven's head and muttered, "... They don't." His voice was sounding more tired than anything else now.

Raven still didn't say anything, just resting.

After a moment Wolfe began to stroke Raven's hair.

Raven didn't seem to mind. After a few more minutes he sighed. "Well, this isn't exactly how I expected a jaunt in the jungle to turn out," he said quietly, voice still a little shaky.

Wolfe continued to slowly stroke Raven's hair, "... I love you, Ra," he whispered.
