Aurel had done as Faolan had asked, setting Bengal down and removing himself from the cot to head over to them. He was a bit more sure of his actions now as he had joined in on the hug. This was not particularly something they did often, but he was glad for it. It was reassuring.. and comforting. He hoped that Illyana felt the same way. Lucien was glad that Aurel had joined them. He could only imagine how much the teenager was feeling for Illyana right now.. having experienced some of the things that she had. The nephilim was only that much more determined to make sure neither of them had to ever suffer like that again. As Illyana's crying finally ceased, they gave her a bit of breathing room. He could tell that she was a little embarrassed by it all, but that was a better feeling to have than her continued sadness. He returned Faolan's smile, glad that they had settled on what they would do. Now knowing the full truth, there was no way that they couldn't help her get to where she needed to. While he personally didn't want her returning to those dreadful parents, he figured she wanted to do it for the sake of her sister, and that he could not deny her. Perhaps he'd get a chance to give them a piece of his mind... [color=burlywood]"Faolan is right. We weren't not particularly set on a designated path, so please do not feel like you are making us go out of your way. We'll make sure that you reach your destination."[/color] He reassured her.
