Ellis shifted a little, debating on what to tell Lloyd. Whether to tell him or not. And…what would happen if he did? He shook his head a little, sitting up slightly to look down at the prince.

Lloyd stirred after a while and looked up at Ellis. "Mmm… you alright, El?" He asked softly, looking vaguely worried.

Ellis blinked at him. "I…" he shrugged a little bit, looking away for a moment. "i don't know."

"What's wrong?" Lloyd shifted so he could look up at Ellis more easily. "Is it something I did?"

"No, it's…it's not your fault. i'm just…I don't know."

"Can you tell me what's bothering you, then? I won't make fun of you or anything."

"It's…I was just thinking about Anton, and…"

Lloyd nodded, listening intently to Ellis. He kept quiet so he wouldn't make him nervous.

"Sorry. I…" he shook his head, letting out a shaky breath. "I don't know what to do."

"Maybe I can help you?" Lloyd offered softly. "I can't help if I don't know what's bothering you, though." He tilted his chin up and gently kissed Ellis's cheek.

Ellis blushed at the kiss. "I-I…" But what will you think of me?

"I apologize if that was an overstep on my part…" Lloyd looked away, his face flushed. "But I really do want to help you."

"I know. I jsut…I don't know." he replied softly.

Lloyd nodded a bit. "I really don't want to make you uncomfortable, but it's easiest for me to help if I know what he did…"

He nodded, looking down at his hands. "He…" his voice was quiet, subdued.

Lloyd looked up at Ellis quietly. He wanted to be patient with the other since this was clearly a sensitive topic.

He closed his eyes, not looking at Lloyd. "'He…"

"What did he do, Ellis?" Lloyd asked softly, still trying to be patient.

"I-I couldn't…" Ellis sniffled quietly, not wanting to start crying. "I c-couldn't tell him…I couldn't tell him no, he…he wouldn't let me, I…"

"What did he do to you, El?" Lloyd cupped Ellis's cheek in his hand.
