Donovan did start to get a hold on himself, if only a bit, as Eden was doing her best to convince him that it could get better and might be fixable. Needless to say he wasn't as optimistic but he trusted her words and that her and his father would help even with such a complicated problem. He had sort of withdrawn before Eden had started to try to bring him out of it and didn't noticed she had sat down until she put her hand on him. It reinforced the fact that she still trusted him despite what he almost did...what the other him almost did. Explaining to the others was going to be an interesting proposition, there were some who probably would not be able to forgive him, though if anyone could get it across it would be Eden and Marlon.

"If you have enough faith we can do it I suppose I should too. I'll probably have hell to pay in town but if it helps I'll take it." Donovan said feeling a bit better but not running off his own willpower, more like running off a vague hope that it could be fixed.

Donovan gently put a hand on Eden's after a couple minutes feeling composed enough to maybe get up and walk back with her and Marlon who walked over himself.

"You look like you got the weight of the world on you but we'll be there every step of the way to help you shake it off." Marlon said wanting to add his own two cents to assure the boy further.

Donovan decided to stand back up which he did slowly but held on to Eden's hand to help her up, just wouldn't be right to not help her. Once he was up he figured they would get him back to town so they could start to sort things out and his father giving him a grip on the shoulder made him feel like the man was just glad to have his son back. It occurred to him after the fact that Eden might want her hand back and in typical fashion her released her hand feeling a bit stupid, and mildly embarrassed, for forgetting something like it again. Though its absence made him realize he was cold from being outside during the night which made the walk back more agreeable so he could warm up.

"Suppose I'm ready now. If you two want to start me off, I'm still a little foggy." He said willing to move on with Eden and his father.
