Alek's gold hues burned with worry as his eyes met with hers. Ellie's tears did not make him feel much better. As gently as he could, he wrapped his own arms around her, whispering 'shhh' sounds to try to sooth her as best he could. He could not understand the pain she was going through, nor would he pretend to know.

"It will be alright, Ellie.." He murmured softly.

He turned his attention towards Talos and Otto. "Brother, any payment for him is my responsibility.." He gave Talos a sorrowful look, as if he were apologizing to the man for what he had to deal with so far. 'Maybe he should of killed me on sight..' Alek thought woefully. He would have a talk with Talos about this later on. "Ellie.. Perhaps we should let you rest.." He said, attempting to pick the woman up. They had rented a room here, although they had no intent to remain here.
