"She'd be proud of you too," Lucas murmured in response to her, mentally, never once saying the words aloud. To outsiders, it looked as if they were merely sitting there, holding onto one another and hugging it out, but in reality, they were also having their own mental conversation, as Lucas had reached out to her once more, reestablishing that bond, when he realized she could not speak aloud. When she spoke about her fear of him abandoning her, begging him not too, Lucas merely pulled her closer, tightening his grip upon her, though he was careful not to hurt or harm her, and rested his face against her shoulder and neck, leaning down so that it was almost as if he were cradling her with his body, responding, "Never. Alaska, I promise, I will never abandon you." The words were spoken with a gentle force behind them, not one of ill intent or malice, nor one of hatred or pain. Just a vow that he would, for ill or worse, always be there for her, so long as he lived, and so long as his chest still worked well enough to draw breath. It didn't matter what he himself had been through, or what hell their father had tortured them all with. Lucas would not abandon Alaska, just as he would not give up on Leah, or their mother. He would be strong, and he would remain steady. And he would always be there, like a rock to anchor themselves against in the most violent and forbidding of storms. Neither of them seemed to notice Leon or Shia, or the fact that Nick was up and moving around, so caught up they were in their own world, and the mental privacy of their own conversation.

Alaska closed her eyes and as if tryign to concentrate.. she spoke.. only 5 faint words.. and each one seeming to pain her.. but her voice never faultered or failed.. although he spoke slowly and with difficulty it sounded as if an angel had spoken "I love you... big brother...." She felt more tears leave her eyes in pain and in emotioions... she pressed into him even greater now as he held her firmly against him soothing away her pains and got her crying down to soft sniffles. Eventhough she calmed she still refused to move from his arm or his side and still held onto him not caring who was behidn her or watching.. she just.. didnt care anymore.. she had her big brother.. and if he kept his word to always be there... which she was beginning to realise his words were stronger then steel bars.. that wouldnt ever break she began to feel comforted even more knowing he wouldnt leave or run away from his family

Nick smiled gently and decided to just sit down and wait for them to calm down to join in and hug Alaska and him. though he really felt like he would like to help comfort them. Shia glanced at Lucas and smiled gently before looking back towards nick and then looked at Leon wondering about her question to his  question. 

Leon was looking at Shia not catching the smile "Well.. lots actualy.. most of it not important but Alaska met leah and she sorta refused to accept it was her sister.. and she sorta fled... and now here we are. Alex it at work and should be home soon.

Laska burried her face into his chest and tried her best to relax and just calm down. her whimpering was turned into soft and faint sniffles as she slowly got her composure back. She wanted to talk to lucas, about everything she could think of but she found herself unable to speak at the moment as the calmed down.. "D-did... He.. hurt you too?" She managed to ask through his mind
