The room fell back into silence, as Lane ended the call. But, there was no time for it now, so Lane threw Damien a tentative glance. "You've heard everything, right?"
"Yes. You need to go now, then?"
"Mn. Unfortunately…" Lane looked into Damien's eyes, then at the man's reddened lips, and let out a sigh, dragging himself off the bed, albeit unwillingly.
"Should I go with you?" Damien offered, but Lane immediately shook his head.
"No, it would only make things worse at this point. I sneaked out using my abilities, you see, so from their point of view, I should still be inside the building… It would be hard to explain how I managed to get past the guards, and I don't want to raise any suspicions."
"…Alright then," Damien nodded his head. Although he still had a lot of questions, it wasn't the best time for that, so he only asked, "When… will I be able to see you again?"
