Before he could say anything else, she had taken him to a much more secluded area, away from the rest of the camp so they're not within earshot. He listened closely, and she was right. He thought it was nice of her to care about his reputation, but while he couldn't look weak, he also couldn't help being human either. "Thank you." he told her, for being the level headed one. Luckily no one had noticed his slight break down. He'd have to force himself to be strong for longer - for Alex's sake. No doubt if she saw him in a vulnerable state, it would only make her feel worse.

"I'm not sure to what extent your powers can reach, but I need prove Alex is innocent somehow. She told me that this is cursed by Hades himself and that his daughter planted it within Alex's room. Hades knew it was my sister's favorite since she tends to wear the pale shade often." he explained and handed it gently to her. "I need to somehow have the curse on it traced, and if it's still lingering there we need to trap it somehow." He had no idea what he was talking about, and no doubt Evelyn was going to be as confused as he was. They were leaving for the trial soon, and this had to be the answer. "It's okay if you can't... I can surely ask Hecate under the oath of my father so she can't back out or anything."
