Whylderholm Deposit Center

Aleks was laid out in an isolated room that he didn't recognize, arms crossed over his chest, gaze fixated on the ceiling above him. It had been an uncomfortable amount of time since his last interaction with any of the strange men at Whylderholm, though he didn't mind; it was less time spent considering the thought of romancing a beast. He wondered if he had been forgotten, or perhaps abandoned, or most likely placed on a long hold. Truth be told, the boy had no idea what the center was for, or why he'd been placed here. He knew it was a deposit center, but what that entailed was a mystery. He rolled onto his right side with a heavy exhale. 
*I miss Jax. Is he coming? He must've forgotten about me, I don't blame him. I just want to see him. I miss my study too. I wonder how the garden is? Dead, probably.*
With that, he closed his eyes, bundled his robes, and tried to catch a quick rest.

"It's fucking *Cold*!" The massive brute grumbled to himself, shifting the cloth package on his back, on of the straps around his shoulders dropping to hang loosely.

"I think you'll manage shortly." Jax retorted, pulling the scarf around his neck up over his nose. "I trust you two can handle yourselves? I don't want to have to make this two rescue missions." The Eclipse Captain didn't like the idea of pulling mercenaries out of jail in the first place, and Jax had been worried Erik was going to seek revenge, but whatever the sister had done to ease him seemed to have worked, so Jax wanted to keep the two on his good side for now.

The male twin only chuckled.

Jax could only hope they stuck to the plan, and that this worked. He looked to his left, at the other Skagerlly, another small framed human, making Jax wonder if the line had dwarf or gnome in it some generations go.

"What about you, Kels? Think you're ready?" Jax wasn't sure who he was asking more. They were going in blind, and this was Jax's first operation in years.

Kelsafyr shivered silently in agreement with the large man, her own body trembling in the weather that she was so rarely exposed to. She gently tucked her hands under her arms and for the millionth time questioned what had brought her outside the warmth of her home. The sudden sound of her name stirred her from her thoughts and she glanced over through thick lashes at the man next to her before smiling slightly to almost perfectly conceal her nerves. Her voice sounded even huskier than usual in the frigid breeze, 
"I believe so." Her head tilted, "Are you?"

Sophia couldn't help herself as her eyes rolled towards Jax's comment about needing rescue. She was sure he was speaking about her twin considering she wasn't the one who had been rotting in a prison cell for god knows how long. It was bloody luck that the one who imprisoned him needed his help and that she had been fortunate enough to reach her brother before they had left for this mission. 

Inching closer towards Erik, Sophia used her elbow and nudged it lightly into his side to catch his attention. "Who are we saving again? And why haven't we ditched them yet?" 

It was no secret that Sophia hated group activities and seeing how they were in a group about to do an activity which involved rescuing a person, she wasn't in the best of moods.

Aleks couldn't find rest, nor could he find simple peace; his mind was too occupied turning the prospect that the world had forgotten him into a reality. Was his new reality lived between cages and sculpted by the will of his captors? Aleks really wasn't sure if that's what he desired. The room housing him was comfortable, and it was minimalistic enough for his tastes, yet it made his skin crawl. Even as his frail body was pressed against the plush carpet floor, he felt thousands of bugs crawling across his skin like a plague. All the lordling could do was pull himself into a ball and lightly weep. 
Was he to be abandoned here? 
After all he had endured, was his story closing now? In the hands of avaricious brother-kings? Just as a regal light revealed itself to him, he was being cast into an impenetrable ocean.

"You haven't ditched because you haven't been paid yet." Jax said, bluntly. He didn't agree to pay them an upfront fee, not fully trusting these siblings.

Erik grunted pulling his hammer from the cloth on his back, and hefting the weapon onto his shoulder.

"You just be sure to come through on that money. I'd hate to bring you into a rematch so soon after your promotion." Erik looked to his sister and raised an eyebrow, "You sure you're good with this?"

"I wasn't asking you, now was I?" Sophia muttered through her teeth as she glared towards the back of Jax's head. She imagined how it would feel to impale his head onto a stick. She had never attempted such on a person before, especially while they were still breathing. Was it possible? Perhaps if she managed to strike him through the mouth and decapitate him before he passed from the impaling. Highly unlikely. The fantasy was still there though. 

When Erik's question tore Sophia from her thoughts, she shrugged her shoulders in response. "Considering I haven't planned any of this and we are walking in blindly? Do you really think I would be ok with any of this in the slightest??"

She didn't bother to keep her voice low enough for just the two of them to hear, she didn't care. It was no surprise that Sophia hated working with others besides her twin. Now she was forced to help some female who was a stranger to her and the man who held her brother captive. If she got fatally injured, she was going to be majorly pissed off.
