Snippet #1067250

Talan couldn't help but smile a little again as Pazya sounded so pleased to hear that Tzar was well. At least from that comment, he could tell how nice these people were. Some of the rebellion had cold hearts, turned to stone from years of hatred. It made him glad to see that not all were that way. His moment of happiness didn't last long though, as she also mentioned how he couldn't fight in a war while ill, sadness filling his eyes.
“So it is obvious how worn I am then...” He mumbled, having tried to make himself believe that his illness was not so noticeable by others.

Leo noted his brother sudden wave of depression and stepped in to make sure no fuss was made. Talan hated it even more when fuss was made. He glanced at Zemar as the boy mentioned something about a major returning for a few days, his expression changing from concern to seriousness as he looked to Pazya,
“You must get in touch with that major, Pazya. They might have some kind of news we can use.” He said, a pleading tone being heard in amongst the seriousness of his voice.

Leo too began to frown as Pazya continued to talk about the health elixir and how it might not have an effect on Talan, glancing down at his brother finding the scarlet haired boy holding his head in his hands again. He did not like his condition being talked about and fussed over. He just wanted to get on with life as much as he could, Leo knew that.
He looked back to their visitors as Zemar placed the bottle back onto the table, the smile returning to his face as Pazya said she could bring them any others that she got a hold of.
“Thank you, so much...” He said to them, their sudden kind gift to them having brought out the softness in the supposedly tougher looking twin. “I don't know how we'll ever repay you for this, even if it just prolongs life.”

“We can start by making sure that they get home without being followed, Leo.” Talan said, a slight quiver to his voice as he spoke, sniffling a little before rising to his feet, turning away so he could wipe his eyes from the tears that threatened to stream down his face. He didn't like the fuss, but he never thought that strangers they barely knew would even think of giving him something that might help to extend his life. “And then we get this information to the rest of the rebellion, and try and give Pazya something useful, so that she knows who to keep an eye out for.” He continued, his voice a little stronger now he'd gotten over his little drama moment.

Leo glanced at his brother, nodding once in reply before moving towards the door.
“Don't forget about your glamour...” He reminded Pazya, just incase. He then opened the door for both of them, offering them the most reassuring smile as he could muster. If Tzar was able to be friends with these people, he was sure they could too.

Talan followed after them,
“I'll walk you to your house. Leo will be recognised too easily as a mutt,” He explained, able to put a small smile back on his face.
