[It hurts, like Martin's being raked across every mistake he's ever made. It had been necessary, he tells himself. He'd needed to protect Jon. It had hurt, but it had protected him from Peter. It was... doing what Elias wanted, but sod Elias. So, he just needs to show Jon that he loves him again. That's- it's not difficult. If Jon will let him.]
We should. [It's a firm agreement as they head out. Martin looks to the signs, to the woods around, and then heads in the direction of what looks to be more buildings.] It's better we're together for this. Don't worry. I'm sure we can figure it out. [He looks at Jon and tries to remember waking up after their first night together, fled from the Institute, just them. He tries to let the warmth in that memory shine through with a small smile.]
So, you're the expert on being kidnapped. Any tips?
