He didn't know what to say or do.

He had just seen Wilbur take Dream.

Purpled let go of the back of Techno's shirt from when he'd grabbed it to stop the pink haired man from going down and trying to fight Wilbur on the spot. Techno knew the kid was doing the right thing by keeping him back, but it still didn't ease the helplessness he felt as he saw Dream being carried away in chains.

"We need to go back, Techno." Purpled spoke hesitantly behind him, the first things he'd said this whole time. "There's nothing we can do now."

But he felt like he needed to do something.

To jump down and comfort George when no one else was.

To run after his brother and get Dream back.

To not sit here helplessly as his friend was about to die.

"Okay, kid." Techno murmured, tearing his eyes from George's silently sobbing figure as the brown haired man knelt on the ground alone. "I just... don't know what to do."

"We're going to get him back, Techno, eventually." Purpled leaped silently down from the trees, landing lightly, the pink haired man close behind him. "But you're still healing, and we need to get more information before we do anything. We don't want to risk your secrecy."

"I hate being a secret." Techno growled as they walked back to the cabin, away from Wilbur and Dream. "Why can't I just go back out there, fight someone, let them know I'm alive!"

"Because Wilbur will come looking for you to finish the job he started!" Purpled argued, arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed as he glanced over at Techno. "You and Dream together can kill him, and he knows that! He would hunt you to the ends of the earth to put an end to you! I need you alive, Techno. You're the only person I've got..."

Techno didn't respond as the little cabin came into view, the small shelter almost feeling like home now. Somehow, no one had found it yet, and no one had gone looking for proof of Techno's death yet. Purpled was right about staying hidden and safe, but at the same time, he didn't want to be 'dead' at all. He wanted to get out and fight Wilbur, get Dream back, comfort George, save Tommy, do something.

"Hey, kid. What about a recon today at sundown." Techno looked over at Purpled as the kid pushed the door open. "We can go, scout out Wilbur's base and see where they might be holding Dream."

"We might even find Tommy or Tubbo!" Purpled pulled off his brown overcoat and slid on his purple hoodie with a grateful sigh. "Yeah, as long as I can go too."

"Sure, kid." Techno reached over and ruffled the kid's blond hair, making him squeak and bat the pink haired man's hands away. "Just be careful, and if you see Wilbur or Sapnap, don't fight them. Just get the hell out of there as fast as you can."

"Why did Sapnap betray his friends." Purpled sat down on the cot, curling his legs to his chest, and sighing as Techno lit a small flame in the fireplace. "They always seemed inseparable, like, they were the Dream Team and everything. That's why it's a good idea not to date inside friend groups."

"Yeah, like you've had any experience with that, kid." Techno snarked as Purpled pulled sticks and leaves from his long pink hair.

"Shut up, Techno." Purpled stuck his lip out into a mock-pout as Techno just let out a deep laugh. "What would you know about dating people."

"Aaand this conversation is over." Techno rolled his eyes as Purpled giggled slightly and started to braid his hair. "So, different topic... um, what do you think about the political alignments of our world? Thoughts on governments?"
