[Those sobs aren't truly loud, but they are for someone like Silver, normally so composed. They're enough to shake his body. Lilia's shoulder is quickly soaked. The weight of the heavy jacket is a comfort, but this pain is too much to be smothered that easily. He hasn't bawled this hard since the day he discovered that he and Lilia weren't family by blood.
"I've got you." Lilia always has, in everything from the tiniest scrapes to the most potent nightmares. But the greatest pain Silver has ever felt... Lilia couldn't support his boy through it, being the cause himself. They both know what Malleus has done. Part of Silver is ashamed to wonder if, granted the power Malleus possesses, he would do the same. Would he be so selfish, or is his respect greater than his broken heart?
Father is here. This place is awful, but at least he is here with me. I'm glad, but that makes me just as awful. It pulls a throttled, sickened groan out of him. He's no knight, no loyal guard. He's so greedy, clutching at the people he loves with no care for their desires. First Idia and Cater, now Lilia... he's terrible. He presses the knuckles of one hand against his lips, fighting back an overwhelming flood of distress.]
