Eivind knew after what he'd done that they'd have to go, even without Alaric saying anything. Lofgren was going to be furious, and it was liable to get messy. At the very least Eivind needed to get Blue out of the middle of it. It would do not good for him to have to worry over him, as vulnerable as he currently was, and the other wolves that would certainly be seeking vengeance for their brother. Blue had backed all the way back up to the bed, out of the way, coming apart. Eivind was still focused on what had happened before the kill, still unsettled.<br/><br/>“You'll never crawl groveling to another werewolf like that again, do you understand me?” Eivind spoke, his tone serious, as if that was more important than Blue requesting a swift death. “I'm not going to kill you. No one is,” he added almost like an afterthought. “But we do have to go.”<br/><br/>Eivind was covered in blood, and he smeared Blue with it when he pulled him up off the floor. It bothered him that Blue was so upset, but he needed him to focus so that he could help him get out. He slid his arm to support Blue, holding him close along his undamaged side. It was going to be hell regardless, but they absolutely needed to put some distance between themselves and Lofgren's pack. They could come and surround them, and that would put them at the disadvantage.<br/><br/>“Stop crying, you're going to be alright,” Eivind tried to reassure, but the words didn't sound as soothing as he intended. Blue thought he was a liar, and it was unlikely he would believe him regardless. He just hoped his desire to leave would be stronger than his distrust of them now, because he did need Blue to cooperate with him just a little. Eivind could carry him short distances if he decided to throw a tantrum, but he could not carry him the entire way. He still got frustrated at the three meager steps down from the cabin, and he picked Blue up because they were not moving quickly enough. Synnove had went to Sieger, likely telling him what had happened and soon everyone was on the move with Eivind. They adjusted to the slowest pack members pace, which of course was Eivind. The instinct to stay together as a group was strong, especially with Sieger's reaction, and him not directing otherwise. He'd said nothing at all to Eivind, only stared hard at him before moving everyone along. Eivind knew that he was angry, even if the male's body language wasn't loud. Synnove stayed close to her mate, sensing his irritation, and Alaric kept his scathing remarks to himself.<br/><br/>When Eivind put Blue down, he shifted him back so that he could walk with his assistance, apologizing over putting him through the agony of moving him when he'd been trying to avoid exactly that. He'd had less than a day of rest and care, and Eivind knew that it wasn't enough, not for what he was asking him to do.<br/><br/>“If it comes down to a fight, you need to stay out of the way. Not far enough to separate from us, but out of any direct conflict,” Eivind told him. "I need to be able to see you." He didn't think Blue would be able to run, which was probably a good thing considering he imagined he might have tried just that. Separating from Eivind would be one of the worst things he could do because he was the only one who might come to his defense.<br/><br/>“This is ridiculous,” someone was saying, “this isn't what we came here for, and it's only going to get messier. We aught to just leave him. Let Lofgren go down for killing him.”<br/><br/>“That isn't how we do things,” Synnove reminded.<br/><br/>“He's<i>human</i>. Our rules don't apply to him. This is a fucking joke.”<br/><br/>“Hush,” Sieger said, not wanting to hear it. “There are no rules set in place because this hasn't ever happened. There is much to be given thought before jumping to any conclusion. Go with him, Alaric. The rest of us will hang back a little, to cut Lofgren off. He isn't going to take kindly to the loss of one of his own, not like he accepted our interference with the human.”<br/><br/>Alaric didn't argue, and went along with Eivind, even going so far as to try to offer assistance with Blue.<br/><br/>“Don't,” Eivind growled irritably, “And don't say a god damned word either. I don't want to hear it.”
