	Elias let Talon push him away. He didn't want to give his brother a reason to start swinging. Octavia's own out burst wasn't helping this situation. Were Talon's word uncalled for? Yes. Did the guy have to control himself? Also yes. But now wasn't the time for lectures. The loud voices and curious eyes around them were not helping one bit. Despite all of the distractions around them, Elias kept his eyes directly on his brother. 

	"[color=9D2B22]You are right; I don't get it.[/color]" He took a step closer to Talon to keep his attention on him. "[color=9D2B22]So make me understand, T. Tell me.[/color]" He lifted up his arms next to his shoulders, a sign of peace. He didn't want to escalate things any further. He had to get Talon away from prying eyes and Octavia's hot temper. Elias didn't blame his sister. He knew she meant well but she couldn't take any words Talon said right now to heart. Especially insults. As bad as they were he knew Talon didn't mean it.

	In honesty, Elias was curious as to what made Talon snap like this. He had seen his brother's rage before but never quite like this. Was it because of the competition? The banter they had exchanged while they climbed? Elias was genuine when he told his brother that he wanted to understand. 

	Elias continued to approach the younger boy carefully and calmly. "[color=9D2B22]Let's get out of here.[/color]" Too many people. It would be easier to talk things through with Talon away from the crowd that had gathered around the base of the tower. He reached towards his brother but didn't touch him—just a little encouragement. 

	He ignored the announcement that ripped everyone's gaze away from them and to Dionysus. He kept his own disbelief in check and kept his eyes on his brother. An accusation from a God wasn't to be taken lightly, and neither was the situation at hand.
