"There's nothing else," Nic replied, as if that was the only option open to him.

Laurel definitely looked worried as she slowly stood. She took a step forward and stumbled a bit, catching herself on Nic's shoulder.

Nic didn't say anything as he let Laurel use his shoulder to support herself.

Laurel fiddled with a piece of hair by Nic's ear, "Just... don't get lost in there, alright?" she whispered.

Nic nodded.

Laurel paused for a moment before bending down and kissing his cheek, "I'm going to go make something to eat," Laurel decided, "You want something?"

Nic shook his head. "I ate," he told her.

Laurel nodded a little, "I love you," she whispered in his ear before pushing off of him a little and slowly turning towards the door.

Nic let her walk out on her own, standing and following her out the door.

Laurel slowly headed toward the kitchen.

Nic supervised her for awhile to make sure she'd make it on her own. When he was satisfied, he started back toward his room.

He was intercepted by Wolfe. Apparently he had been waiting.

Nic stopped walking and waited for Wolfe to speak his mind.

"Kale brought back a boy who'd seen him and compromised his mission..." Wolfe started before pausing. He pursed his lips, "He just so happens to be your half brother."

Nic blinked blankly before continuing toward his room. It didn't look like he believed Wolfe in the least.

Wolfe cut him off, "I don't make mistakes with blood, Dominic," he stated, "I cross checked his DNA three times. You have a half brother named Seraphim Bell."
