Dominic shoved his blank page of notes into his bag, having been too focused on other things to bother taking any, and rushed out the door. "Ealfric?" His voice called out as other students began filing out of their respective classes. He searched for his friend, almost missing him amongst his taller classmates. When he finally managed to spot him he dived into the crowd emerging on the other side only slightly worse for the wear. "Ealfric?" He stood a few feet behind the boy, “What happened?” Because something obviously happened, why else would he look so empty? “Are you hurt? Is Marius hurt?” His voice reached a higher pitch as he began to panic.

The blond didn't turn, simply stood there. He knew by now that there was no point in avoiding the boy. '..Marius.... Marius is fine....' His voice was flat and cold.
And as terrified as it had been before Halloween.

"But you're not. Ealfric..." He bit his bottom lip, eyes looking back at the few people still around. "Do you want to talk...?" He was pretty sure the answer would be no. Since Ealfric came to class that probably meant that the entire fate of the school wasn't in danger, but obviously Ealfric's world was not okay. "Or I could make us tea and we could sit and not talk." He tried to smile but it only came out as a frown, "I always go to your place, this could be a chance for you to visit my room." The only person he had over regularly was Rikia. "I have a table that looks like a mushroom..." He added rather lamely, as if it would help persuade Ealfric to come with him. He was worried about the boy and knowing his track record... didn't plan to leave him alone how he was.

The blond put a hand to his neck and rubbed it. As if feeling for something that wasn't there. '..Tea...... sounds good....' He let the boy lead him along, not even grumbling at the stairs.

Dominic glanced back nervously at him but continued on. When they got to his door he opened it right up since it wasn't locked. "Please come in." He tried to sound cheery and it came off pretty good. "My room looks rather simple but I like the calmness of it." Sam was asleep at the top of his bed and didn't stir at their entrance. "Um have a seat and I'll just be a minute." He disappeared into the closet where he gathered the ingredients of ginger, lemon, and honey. He glanced down at the honey jar and sighed. Ginger tea was supposed to be good for colds. He didn't think Ealfric was sick but he did want him to feel better. He began the tea which would take about 15 minutes. He was using some new equipment, the easy-bake oven in his closet had been tossed in the trash weeks before. He emerged out of the closet with a timid smile, "It'll be done shortly."

Ealfric limped over to the cat and held out a finger to him in greeting, then sat next to him. He looked up when Dominic spoke, having managed to get the cat to sit on his lap. 'Thank ye..' He was stroking Sam and for a fleeting moment his mood lightened.

Sam was purring like an engine, his claws lightly needing Ealfric's legs.

Dominic smiled at the two, "This has got to be a record for him." He considered sitting on a shroom seat but then decided to join the two of them, though the bed was large he plopped down next to Ealfric. "You know, I'm pretty good with animals too." He tried to take on a normal conversation. "All the neighbor's animals would follow me around on the island." He smiled, "It's because I was nice to them and would make sure to feed them if their owners forgot or couldn't. Kindness goes a long ways... but sometimes it's not enough." He reached over and pet Sam who seemed blissfully happy where he was. "I actually rescued Sam when he was a kitten. Or maybe he rescued me..." He glanced at Ealfric, "It's near impossible to do things on our own. Especially anything meaningful." Looking back down at Sam he seemed like he wanted to say more but opted not to.

"..."
"I..."
"...well..."

Dominic finally did what he'd been meaning to do since Ealfric walked into class, he gave the boy a hug. He pulled him close and held him tightly, lightly resting his head on the other's. He didn't know what to say, because he didn't know the problem...

"I..."
"...you..."

He was trying not to get upset himself but it was becoming hard. There was like a thick cloud hanging over Ealfric and it was suffocating. He needed to either free the boy from it or make it go away altogether.

He fixed his grip making sure it was as tight as it could possibly be without hurting.

"...I'm here."

He figured that obvious statement probably wasn't much comfort but it was all he had.

Ealfric twitched, and flinched away. A range of expressions, from fear to hatred and sadness, passed his face and he lifted his arms, wrapping them around around Dominic. His fingers clutched at the back of the boy's robe, tearing holes in it.

Dominic heard the ripping of fabric but he wasn't too concerned, yet. Ealfric was acting like someone hurt him, beyound hurt him, Dominic wondered who... There were only a handful of people the boy hung out with on a regular basis. It could have possibly been a stranger but... He tried not to jump to conclusions.

It would be another ten minutes before he had to check on the tea, if Ealfric would let him get away with it he planned to hold him until then.

"Humans are pretty selfish creatures. They are disgusting. They feed off each other and once they've had their share they'll keep taking. They take from others like them, from people who are different, from animals, from the environment. They take and take. Selfish..." He had found his voice but he could only ramble. It was something he was really good at. "But there are good humans too. Not perfect, but good. And these humans give even if they have nothing to give. They are selfless, asking for things only when they absolutely must." He moved his hands from Ealfric's arms to his shoulder. "I don't consider myself a good person at all, of course not, I'm a villain. Ironically just like those I hate most I also take things." He looked down at Ealfric, wishing he could take his pain away. "Here I am trying to take some of the burden that's weighing you down knowing full well I don't understand it." He briefly hugged him even tighter. "You don't have to tell me what happened... but if someone hurt you..." His voice got angry though it was laced with another emotion, "Just say the name and I'll have Vasilios go and pound them into the ground because- because even though it won't fix things it'll prevent them from hurting others and then maybe the healing process can begin though I would be lying if I said the baggage it leaves ever goes away..."

The blonde's shoulders shook with soundless sobs, but as Dominic offered to have the perpetrator beat up Ealfric let go and backed up, knocking Sam off his lap by accident. He pointed a finger at the boy and stared, face locked somewhere between anger and fear. 'Ye'll nawt hurt him.' He commanded with a shaking, broken voice.

Dominic looked confused, "I take it you weren't... I-" He looked apologetic though still confused, "I'm sorry. I don't... I... I think I misunderstood." He stood up, baking away from Ealfric, "The way you were acting there were some parallels I... I'm sorry." He looked like a fish out of water. "I- I'll go check on the tea." He escaped into the closet seven minutes before he needed to be there. He was berating himself for jumping to conclusions even after trying really hard not to. Ealfic was strong and Marius who was also strong was often with him so nothing like that would ever happen, right? But if Ealfric wasn't raped then what happened? He had said ‘him’... so... did it have something to do with Geir? Marius? Someone he didn't know? Dominic was done guessing. Until Ealfric told him, if he ever told him, then it was none of his business. He looked at the jar of honey, sighing. He would wait out the next few minutes in the closet and when the tea was done he would prepare two cups, though he wouldn't be surprised if he returned to just Sam.

Sam, upset by the movement, let out a yowl before climbing his way back to Ealfric. Using his head he nudged the boy's hand. He blinked up at him, letting out a small purr.

Ealfric didn't move as Dominic fled, only putting his hand down and drawing a shaky breath. He gathered the cat up in his shaking arms and buried his face in the soft fur. Animals, and other things of nature, had always been of great comfort to him. He shuffled back on the bed, resting his back against the wall and pulling his legs up.
Having spoken once, the blond now found he could talk again. Though admittedly not very well. 'H..He... A still feel it there.. chokin me...' He muttered through the fur in his face, lifting a hand to his throat.

Roughly nine minutes later Dominic stepped out of the closet with two steaming cups, one in each hand. He couldn’t bring himself to look up from the floor, ashamed for the fear and anger he had caused Ealfric to go through when he had already been upset. “It’s hot.” He stated the obvious. “It okay to drink it on the bed.” He held the cup out; unaware he was still a foot away from the other.

Dominic finally looked up. Seeing his friend so distraught made him nearly drop the cups. He quickly placed them down on the table, ignoring the fact that he spilled some of the liquid, and rushed over to the part of the bed where Ealfric resided. His hands hesitated just above him, not sure if he was allowed to touch him again. He finally decided the attempt would be worth any consequence and he enveloped the boy in another hug, “I’m sorry Ealfric!” He could hear the sobbing now that he was close and it brought tears to his own eyes.

'A di'... whit am A.. supposed tae feel..? A di' knaw... A..It's still there..' Ealfric buried his fingers in the front of Dominic's robe, then shoved him and the cat away to scrabble at his neck. Trying to take off something that wasn't there. There were tears on his face and as he put his hands around his own neck he gasped for breath, half strangling himself.

Dominic grabbed for the boy’s hands, struggling with him, trying to pull them away without much luck. “Please stop that! I- I don’t see anything there Ealfric. There’s nothing there!” He wasn’t very strong and so this was going no where, “Ealfric-“ Dominic was able to get one hand through, barely and not unscathed, and he placed it against the boy’s neck as best he could. “Can you feel that?” His fingers were cold, “That’s my hand. If something were there you wouldn’t be able to feel it right?”

I don't know what you're supposed to do now... Hell I don't even know what the problem is. But I'm sure if you keep a calm level head you'll figure it out... Dominic resisted the urge to ask questions, afraid they might set him off again. You're in a safe place... I would like to help but I am unsure how. If I can be of assistance at all please just say... or I could get someone better suited... Dominic was frozen there, trapped in uncertainty. There was a lot he could say, wanted to say, but he wasn't sure if he should right when Ealfric was kind of opening up. He finally reached out, grabbing at the boy's sleeve. I'm still here, but I don't know what to do.

Dominic tried not to wince at the sudden pressure, it was more surprising than painful. "Chained?" Dominic tried to squeeze back but his grip wasn't much, "Someone... someone tried to chain you up?" He sounded horrified at the thought. His eyes roamed to Ealfric's neck, trying to put pieces together.

Without letting go of Ealfric's hand Dominic stretched to grab one of the drinks. His fingers clasped the closest one and he was able to pull it back, offering it to Ealfric. "I used some of the honey you gave me. I really enjoy its sweetness..." He looked down at their joined hands, "This he..." He wanted to ask if it was Marius but he couldn't fathom why Marius would ever do something like that. But who else could effect Ealfric so... so devastatingly now that his mother was gone? It would also make sense if Marius was the cause of the problem because if he wasn't then wouldn't he be the one trying to comfort Ealfric now? But then why... Stop trying to guess!

It took a while, but the tune and the tea and Dominic's gentle nature eventually calmed the cripple enough that he would be able to give a reasonable answer. If Dominic was so inclined. Head still resting on the boy's shoulder, Ealfric's breathing slowed and he muttered an apology.
