Bray let himself be dragged upstairs, this wasn't going to be easy... but he had to go. How could he stay here, if only for a while he had to be away from this place

Bray watched her talking, the way the light played off of her eyes, the stretch of her smile on her face, he couldn't help but return a smile to her, his heart skipped a beat and he felt as if she was turning the darkness into light right in front of him. He groaned when she forbade him to go to the Gaian's, or to even walk around the city alone, and while he was normally prone to protesting about things like that, being fiercely independent on his own, he didn't want to upset her either. The last few times he'd gone out into the city alone had not been good adventures, he'd gotten abducted, beat up, he'd killed a man, though that wasn't the city.
Of course, he remembered the meeting with Moz when his head wasn't completely screwed on, though it played in his memories like a bad movie, he could clearly hear the conversation. How would he explain that to the City? The great Mall Rat leader, going to the enemy calling for their own downfall. Of course, at the time, he'd also been fighting it, intent on bringing Moz into a trap, her and her entire Tribe and turning the tables on them, make them guilty for things, to bring them down. These memories gave him a sharp pain in his head and his hand flew up to his forehead, pressing against his eyebrow, "Gah," but it passed quickly and he shook his head, refocusing his eyes.
"I know I've rested all week, but I think I'll need a nap later, I still feel somewhat tired," he confessed, avoiding making her the promise he wouldn't go out without her, or alone. He couldn't promise that, if it came down to protecting the Tribe or his own safety, he had to do what he had to do. Of course, he wasn't the leader of the Mall Rats right now, his girl and Salene were, but that was ok with him too. This thought reminded him that he needed to talk to Salene, alone, to apologize.
The chat yesterday had been so distant, how are you feeling, have you had enough to eat, does the baby keep you awake, are you getting enough rest, and when he asked her any questions or tried to bring up their time together, she so quickly changed the subject his head had spun. He had to talk to her today, to set things straight and apologize, they'd been through too much together in that place to turn on each other now.
