He didn't think it was such of a run, though when he stopped to think about it, his heart was racing and he could feel a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. Maddie looked back, seeing how much distance they had cleared before looking towards the others and then finally back at Colby. [Color=99CC00]"Sorry, I wasn't thinking I just...I just had to get out of there."[/color] He let go of Colbys hand, rubbing his bicep as he looked at his tired friend...boyfriend? Oh gods what does he even call him now? Matthew leaned against the tree waiting for Colby to gather himself. [Color=99CC00]"We can walk. That's fine, I just...I don't do well with abuse of power...bad memories, so...I had to get out of there..."[/color] His eyes were distant, staring past Colby, or anyone for that matter, as if to look into the past. When he finally snapped back from it, Maddie placed a hand on Colbys' Jack, giving him a pet before gliding his hand onto Colbys face and looking at him longingly. [Color=99CC00]"C'mon, let's go regroup with the others. I think I heard Merlin say we're close by, that and I'm sure Megan would sooner slice us in half with Excalibur and carry us then let us drag behind."[/color] Matthew began to walk back towards the others, his hand held out of Colby to grab it if he wished. The walk wasn't long, finally reaching the tower when Merlin asked Megan for something of Jacks. [Color=99CC00]"Hopefully he left something behind in the tavern that we grabbed...right?"[/color] He wasn't sure how much Jack carried on him, what's more he didn't know if anyone bothered to vacate his room and snag his things.
