Ezekiel looked the Greek god over before he smirked. [color=#EEE8AA]"I thought you were betrothed to Demetri? If you keep flirting with me, the gods may get angry."[/color] Truly, Alexios was paying more attention to trying to get a rise out of Zeke than getting to know the boy he was supposed to marry. He took the grape happily, feeling a sort of silent victory at getting a grape from the great Alexios. Ezekiel reached for his burger when he heard Nancy yell. Zeke hadn't caught her sarcasm, knowing that was just Nancy’s language. It had become a constant in his life, just like wanting to hold Demi’s hand or scribble something down for a new song, but Nancy’s yelling was not. The colour drained from his face almost immediately before she even said the word rape. Ezekiel’s eyes shifted from looking at his half-sister to glaring at Cassian. There was a deep-seated rage there that had Ezekiel gripping the table instead of going for his sword. Nancy stormed out, and Zeke came back to himself. The anger drained from his face, and he felt pain and emptiness. Ezekiel remembered how much Nancy had struggled to open up to him. At this moment, he felt like she had been violated all over again. Ezekiel shifted, grabbed his bag and put his uneaten burger inside. He knew what it felt like to have control ripped from oneself and what it was like to spend every day fighting for some form of it. As he stood, Zeke kissed Demi's cheek. "I'll be back," he promised before heading after Nancy. Ezekiel looked at Kristin once they were outside. [color=#EEE8AA]”Maybe just…hang back,”[/color] he suggested. Ezekiel didn’t know how to handle this situation, but he didn’t think talking about it would magically help Nancy. There was no way he wanted her to be alone, but that was more for his comfort than hers. Being alone for most of his life, he didn’t want to feel that way anymore. He was confident that Nancy knew she had his support in all things, but he didn’t want her to go alone if she decided to stop this quest. He would walk from the quest with her, even if the gods punished them for it.
