Drake jumped lightly when he felt Dimitri's hand on his, turning towards his younger sibling.

"Don't blame yourself, big brother." Dimitri stated. "You weren't even there. There wasn't anything you could do."

"...I'm not blaming myself, Dimi." Drake sighed. "I'm just...angry. Charlie was a good guy. I would have liked to get to know him better. He didn't have to put himself in harm's way for this, and he did anyway..."

He lifted his head up to Harry. There wasn't any time to feel remorse now. They still had a job to do.

"What's our next move?" He asked, all business now. "We already got something, or are we waiting to hear back from the others still?"

Eve still stood silently at the door, leaning against the frame, and watched the scene unfold. She had nothing more to say about the matter and didn't trust herself to talk at the moment for fear that she would burst into tears. Harry, on the other hand, had already composed himself and was ready to take charge again. He felt just as upset as Eve but he had been through a lot more death than she had and had gotten used to dealing with the pain quickly and moving on for the sake of everyone.

"We're still missing Ryu, but we can leave a message here for him for when he shows up. For now, I think we better get moving. We've been in one place for too long and have been lucky that they haven't already found us." Harry explained, standing up, "I'll make sure that you can leave if not today, then tomorrow. We need to hunt down Kreazil and once we find him, I have a feeling we'll also find links to the others as well" Harry said, running a hand through his thick dark hair as he waited for a response.
