---------------------------------------------------------------
When asked if he's alright, Nathan doesn't look at Ventus.  Just sits on Swiftfire in silence.  Kirlia's very quick to get next to him and offer his support...

..because the dam breaks mere moments later.

Nathan is very much NOT okay...he's scared, confused, burdened, worried, irritated, somewhat lonely...

It's all just too much for the 16 year old to hold in any longer...2 weeks of stress and strife have finally gotten to him...

"...."

Ventus is left speechless as Nathan finally and inevitably broke down in front of him.

The empath had no comforting words to give the careworn boy in front of him, the distance and animosity he built up between himself and them making a normally easy task seem insurmountable to him.

He hadn't forgiven them for forcing Orthros onto him and Shiva, nor for the emotional distress he caused to the both of them in relatively recents times, and doubted he would anytime soon.

However, despite his reservation, despite his grudges, despite all the bullheaded, hurtful things the boy said in front of him....

"...."

Slowly, with great deliberation and utmost care, Ventus leans over and gave Nathan a hug, and stayed their with him as they cried their heart out, and emptied themselves of the vast, toxic quantities of feeling that lay deep within him.

....he could not leave this boy to suffer alone in his distraught state.

Nobody deserved that.

Especially not someone of his age.

History would not repeat before his eyes.
