Brayden had spent the week wondering on how he would be able to get through to Leo. Almost after he had brought the male back from the Alpha's cabin, his uncle attempted to take him out. Brayden had yet to repay the other man in kind for twice in the row, though he was certain once he got his hands on him, he would succeed. Needless to say, they had returned and upon their arrival were Leo's parents. With them confirming the other male was indeed in the same situation as Leo, albeit lesser, they agreed on coming to some small truce until they could fully determine what was to be done. As parents, of course it would be hard to turn their child loose, especially among enemies, but it was even more bizarre when their child and their ward, both male at that, were in the stages of apparent motherhood.

Brayden relaxed at the cafe, though that did not mean he was not on edge. With each passing day, Leo was getting bigger and changing. In doing so, that also meant he would become sicker and sicker with that barrier up. He could only hope that him and Trevor were attempting to talk to each other, but from what he had heard when Leo snuck out before, the male had simply gone silent and he was within his rights to have done so. A lot of things could be blamed, but in the end, it happened. At the same time, he could understand why it was hard for anyone to simply shrug such an ordeal off like it didn't happen, especially when you had to wear the marks. The thought overall was working his nerves. He needed to get them both out of those cabins. He hefted up his coat and immediately walked out the cafe, picking up his keys as he left the place to his pack's care, one of which was now in the same situation as Leo and Trevor, though she was the appropriate sex.

Trevor sat out on the patio from the second floor, merely staring out at the snow. He merely glanced a bit to see Leo had returned back to the floor as well. He sighed deeply as he wondered on how he could even muster a word to him. In the end, they would always be friends, but everything now was just so awkward between them, like some rift had opened up beneath them. It was partially his fault though if he could assume so, his fault in not being able to open up towards his friend after he told him the truth. A thought did reflect in his head however. It was simply saying to end the entire solution. He stared at the arm cast a bit, seeing a large knife rest under it. If he got rid of the problem, maybe the rift would close. No matter how hard he tried to shake the notion off, it was like some voice compelled him otherwise, a voice he heard every once in a while when a certain figure visited him.
