''You'll miss your train if you linger any longer.'' Verde informed her, looking down at the watch encircling his wrist. It was an old thing, with visible scratches all over the golden metal and a worn leather strap. From what she knew, the boy had gotten it from his father for his sixteenth birthday.

''I-'' Hopelessness lingered within Anja's heart as she gazed around the train station, saw the way people rushed by them in a hurry, clearly trying to reach their transport in time, and realized how little time she truly had left with her brother. ''You can still come with me.''

''We both know that's impossible.'' His eyes softened around the edges. ''I'll be fine, Anja. You don't have to worry about me.''

A part of her was glad that Verde decided to part from her without any anger souring their goodbye. Another part just wanted to force him to come with her, no matter the consequences. ''You know that's not that easy.''

''I know.'' He agreed easily, his arms twitching almost hesitantly in her direction. Only their years of familiarity allowed Anja to perceive this gesture for what it truly was and thus react accordingly.

With one fluid move, the girl stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her brother's waist. ''We don't really have a choice, huh?''

In answer Verde chuckled bitterly. Not even the promise of a fully paid education managed to cloud his understanding of their situation; If there ever was such a thing as a deal with the devil, then that's exactly what they had been roped into a few hours ago.

Leaning slightly backwards, the Cloud gripped Verde's arms tightly. ''If you ever feel unsafe or if they try to pressure you into something you truly don't want, let me know.''

The Spaniard sighed loudly. ''Even if it were to come to this, what could you of all people do?''

Eyes flaring a deep violet in response, Anja met her brother's gaze with her own. ''Whatever is necessary.''
