Ozzy: 8enters n sees Paul n smiled, signed8 How r u doing, sweetie?
Paul: Good, Momma. Almost done feeding the girls. Make urselves at home
Thrax; Hope you're eating well my boy
Paul: Don't worry, Mordred feeds me well, n Bertha makes pies to die for. So... Uh... How did it go?
Ozzy: 8took out the contract n passed it to Paul, n signed8 Here. Hope it helps. How's Mordred now?
Paul: In our room, trying to take this all in. I think he blames himself for all this, n I do too. His gut instincts was telling him something might happen, bt I ignored him... N now they're both dead... 8looked dwn sadly8
Thrax; 8bit his lip8
Ozzy: 8hugged Paul, signed8 Don't be. Sure, gut instincts may tell u things bt it can't tell u everything. U couldn't hv predicted this
Paul: But we should've stayed. We should've been with Rosalinda, we could've prevented her death... 8tears started rolling dwn his cheeks8
Thrax; 8knealt next to him8
Paul: 8sobs8
Ozzy: 8takes the twin girls n passed them to Bertha before hugging Paul fully, rubbing his bk, whisper8 Its OK... Its OK...

Ozzy: 8tried the door n it was unlocked, n entered, peeking in to see if Pendragon was there8
Pendragon; 8was sitting on the bed in the dark8
Ozzy: 8sat next to him, putting his hand on his shoulder to catch his attention8
Pendragon; 8jumped, falling off the bed8
Ozzy: 8held up his hands to calm him, then realized it was dark n didnt want to strain his eyes too much by turning on the light, used his phone instead to type the words8 It's OK, its OK, its just me, Ozzy
Pendragon; 8sat back on the bed8
Ozzy: 8typed8 R u alright?
Pendragon; 8shook his head8
Ozzy: 8typed8 I knw ur upset abt Rosalinda n ur half sister Penelope, bt none of this is ur fault. U didnt make them die. They chose this, n its not on u
Pendragon; I should've known, I could've helped
Ozzy: 8typed8 U couldn't hv known. Yes, I knw Paul said u had a bad feeling abt it, bt bad feelings don't usually turn out right, n it looked frm the note tht Rosalinda had made up her mind long before u came into the picture
Pendragon; 8held his face in his hands8
Ozzy: 8reached ovr n held him close, rubbing his bk, as if saying "There, there"8
Pendragon; 8shuddered8
Ozzy: 8typed8 Everything is gonna be OK. Just settle evrything with Grooves n try to make it thru. Ur family needs u. Paul needs u.
Pendragon; 8looked up8
Ozzy: 8typed8 Paul blames himself as well. He thinks its his fault tht Rosalinda is dead
Pendragon; 8shook his head8
Ozzy: 8typed8 Then be with him. Wat's done is done. U can't change the past by moping here. Go comfort him. Ur already like a husband to him, might as well be one
Pendragon; 8looks at him, sighs n nods8
Ozzy: 8smiled n patted his head a little, then typed8 Now, I've passed the contract to Paul, so its up to u guys wat to do with it. U two sort things out, OK? I'll be going now 8gets up n leaves the room, then gestured Thrax to leave as well8
Thrax; 8nuzzles his son n kisses his granddaughters on the forehead before following his mate8
Paul: 8sent them off, then sees Pendragon standing outside their room door8 Hey 8looked dwn sadly8
Pendragon; 8came up to him n held him8
Paul: 8was surprised at the hug at first, then hugged him bk, sobbing both in guilt n relief8
Pendragon; 8held him close8
Paul: I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Its all my fault...
Pendragon; 8nuzzled him8
Paul: Pls... Pls forgive him... 8held him tighter8
Pendragon; There's nothing to forgive
Paul: Bt I... I ignored ur gut instincts... I...
Pendragon; 8held him tight8
Paul: 8buried his face into Pendragon's chest, sniffling8
Pendragon; 8stroked his hair8
