Bren stifled another giggle, "You've gotten a little out of shape, huh?"

Fin cussed lightly as he managed to get up.

Bren tried to help him a bit, biting back yet another laugh.

Unlike his brother, Fin accepted the help. Once he was up, he was fine; just his arms were on fire.

Bren smiled a little, rubbing one of his arms, "You should take a cold shower tonight," she noted as they walked toward the door.

Fin sighed a little, glancing back at Nic who seemed to have forgotten about them already. So he walked out with Bren. When the door was closed he asked, "Is Frei really awake?"

Bren nodded, "I came to find you as soon as I heard," she explained before giving Fin a slightly reproachful look, "You've been giving me the slip for days, I wasn't sure I'd find you."

Fin didn't reply, rubbing one of his arms a little.

"Is something troubling you, Fin?" Bren asked quietly, "I know I'm only a new friend but you can trust me to keep quiet about things."

Fin didn't reply; from the way Wolfe spoke it seemed like he didn't want a lot of people knowing about Frei.

Bren nodded, accepting his silence, "Want me to take you to Frei?" she offered, "They moved her when she woke up."

Fin paused before nodding.

"Great!" Bren nodded, taking his arm gently as she started to lead him off, "Can I ask why you were in Nic's room, or is it a secret?" she asked curiously.

Fin didn't say anything for a minute, but then he finally explained, "I want to get stronger."

Bren was silent for a bit before asking, "For Frei?"

Fin didn't say anything, but after another minute he nodded briefly without looking at Bren.
