Ezra stopped himself from walking further, turning to Marta with a smile to let her know that everything would be okay. In truth he wasn't sure what would happen. All he knew was that he wasn't going back the same person he'd been and it would cause some issues with the men, including Jeremiah. He brought his hands up and cupped her face placing a kiss gently on her forehead. 

"My love you don't have to worry. I will keep up with my tasks and I will hold onto you in my heart and the moment we just shared. I will not be an animal anymore. I will keep myself together. Isiah will help," he said pulling her into a tight hug. "I won't turn into that person again....I promise to fight for us without resorting to violence first."

He could feel Jeremiah's eyes glaring into him trying to reach her. He was furious at Marta for breaking his weapon, but he would hold his anger in until the returned. "Ezra, we will eat and then leave. I expect you to hold up to your training and to deny the food, same with you Isiah," Jeremiah called before turning his back on them and going back into the cottage. 

Ezra only nodded, not letting Marta see the rage that continued to burn inside his eyes. He would do his best to keep his words true, but it would test his limits.
