For the first time during her stay at Manhattan, Ershey felt herself breaking down. She hugged Mush tightly in return, burying her head in his shoulder and keeping her eyes from watering. She grew up hating Alec but at the same time, he was her brother and there was nothing she could do about that.

He muttered, though he knew they might not even be able to escape Risk there. But still. He didn't want Ershey to burst out in tears on the sidewalk.

Mush kept his arm firmly around Ershey's shoulders, biting his lip as he thought about everything that had just happened.

Once they were safely inside, he pulled her into the empty parlor and shut the door behind them.

"So, that's why you were upset?"

Taking a seat, Ershey nodded as she fiddled with her fingers.

"I was on my way back home from Tibby's last night," she explained, her voice quiet. "And I ran into Macbeth and Risk who were trying to walk back home from Irving Hall. They were incredibly drunk... well, Race helped me get them back here. We dropped them off at the lobby and when I went to check on them, Al -- er, Risk told me that he's my brother before he passed out."

((Shower, brb!!))

He sat down next to her, not sure if she wanted him to comfort her or not. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. I just... I don't know how to feel about all of this."

But I'm also relieved that I don't have ta worry 'bout him stealin' you away from me." He laughed a bit, mainly at himself.

You were right." He mumbled. Mush might have been a bit more sensitive than most guys, but he was still a guy. He still hated being wrong.
