When the pogues got back to the Château they picked Leo up on the way. It was somewhat a struggle considering Louis had to enter through his window than walk the hallway to wake his brother, but in the end he thought it was worth it. He missed his brother. He needed him.

Louis would normally not sneak in but he didn't want to be yelled at and possibly hit for leaving without a word, and as much as Louis wanted to say Mr. Brooks wouldn't hit him, he wasn't for sure. Trust issues he guessed even if Mr. Brooks promised he wouldn't.

So Louis snuck in grabbed Leo than left a note for the Brooks, explaining he was sorry and would be back sometime tomorrow, also explaining that Leo was with him and they were safe.

Once they entered the Château, Pope and Kie were by John B, who immediately sat down at a table. JJ was in the kitchen, making a sandwich with bread that was moldy. Leo didn't want to see the older boy eat the sandwich with old bread, so he stood next to Pope and John B, resting a comforting hand on the Routledge boy.

"That bread had mold on it three days ago." John B says, looking over to JJ and Louis. Louis looks back at the sandwich and slaps JJ's hand when he was beginning to make another. There was no way Louis would eat that. He adored JJ for trying to brighten his mood, especially after the cemetery, but he wouldn't sacrifice his stomach for JJ, or his taste buds for that matter. Yeah, he wouldn't let JJ make him a sandwich. JJ could tell that Louis was down, he saw the gloom look and distant stare and looked down to Louis hand' to see him subconsciously mess with his ring, holding his breath here and then when he touched his injured knuckles.

"I'll just pull off the bad parts. Plus, mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism." JJ says trying to lighten the mood of Louis.

Leo looks at the boy and scrunches his nose before shaking his head in confusion. Pope saw this and didn't know why until Leo voiced his thoughts.

"How is bread like an orgasm?" Leo asks with a curious look, accidentally saying orgasm instead of organism. He was still learning how to translate words from France to English, so he was being a hundred percent serious with his response, he truly believe he asked with the right word.

Pope chokes on air at this, Kie slaps a hand over her mouth, JJ spits out the food he was eating and John B starts dying of laughter. Louis has a small smile form before it drops. He didn't have the strength in him to laugh, it felt to difficult.

Leo looks at them all questionably, giving a pout and crossing his arms when he realizes they are at laughing him.

"Leo...  Organisms. Organisms equals living thing. Orgasm... That's ..."

"We are not discussing this with my baby brother!" Louis says, cutting JJ off from his explanation.

Leo looks at his brother and pouts at that. He wasn't a baby, he just wanted to know what he did wrong so he won't do it in the future.
