"That monster. It must've got to her." Helian supposed, referring to the lau'ada.

Graicus kneeled beside her new.

"Mirella?"

Surely she'd snap out of it. Helian had after a while when they had jumped off the bridge.

"Mirella? It's Graicus" A faint smile on his face that disappeared just as easily as it had come.

Her head turned slowly, her thousand yard stare went right through Graicus now. Her mouth curled up in a small smile before she went back to staring at the wall.

"She's just... gone." Helian noted. Seeming less distraught about this than Graicus now.

The gladiator wasn't going to give up so easily. He put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a firm shake. Again, there appeared to be little there.

"Helian?" Graicus finally asked.

"You need to care for your mother."

Helian sighed.

This caused Graicus to shoot daggers from his eyes at the young lad.

"You will take care of your mother. Even if this lasts for the rest of her life."

"B-but. That's not fair!" Helian stammered.

"No. No it isn't. But you will do it."

Graicus looked at Helian the same way he had done on the boat, when he had disrespected him. Which meant he could probably flay him alive.

A painful silence descended on the household, with only Mirella's raspy breathing able to be heard.
