Rykah watched him leave, unsure if he should Follow and check on Will.

Finn opened the door, and found Will still attempting to speak to Jack, and Jack sobbing into his arms.
“Will.” Finn said angrily.
Will didn’t even look up. He continued talking, and finally, Jack looked up at him.
Will stopped speaking for a second, and Jack moved into Will’s arms. Will wrapped him in a hug and looked up at Finn pointedly.

Rykah sighed, staying there, "They're gonna be fine…. Right?"

“I don’t really know.” Anna sighed.

Jack shook in Will’s arms, crying silently now.
Finn just watched the brothers for a moment, before going back downstairs.

"Well?" asked Rykah, fairly certain he'd been right.

Finn frowned. “Your faith in Will was well-placed.”
“So they’re ok?” Anna asked.
“Define ok.” Finn replied.

"Ok as in not hurting each other" said Rykah carefully.

“Then yes, they’re ok.” Finn said.
“Are they ok as in not mentally screwed?” Anna asked.
“Will’s fine in that sense.” Finn replied.

Rykah turned back to studying the game board, trying not to think about Will.

Upstairs, Jack had curled up against Will, trying to catch his breath. Will was muttering comforting things to his brother, who just curled up more.

“Who’s turn was it?” Jesse asked quietly.

"Mine…" said Rykah, making his move.

The game continued on, Finn playing for Will. Jesse made a few attempts at conversation, but nothing really came of either.

Rykah played silently, his tail flicking anxiously.

Eventually, Will came back and whispered something to Anna, who nodded and let him take her place as she went upstairs.

Rykah studied Will for a bit, but didn't say much as he kept playing.

Eventually, Jesse won the game and headed upstairs to his and Anna’s room. Will looked at Rykah, and said, “You ready to go upstairs?”

Rykah nodded, "Sure" he said, getting up.

Will lead him upstairs, cringing when he picked up the sound of Anna talking to Jack down the hallway. He quickly entered his room and shut the door once Rykah was inside.

Rykah wandered over to the bed and flopped, his wings relaxing, "So whatcha wanna do?"

“Sleep.” Will smiled wryly. “Sleep so much.”

Rykah laughed, "It is pretty late" he yawned.

“I’m going to go check on him one more time, then we’ll go to bed.” Will said, leaving the room. He walked down the hall and opened his brother’s door, and saw Anna and Jack much in the same position Will had been in earlier.

Rykah nodded, watching as he left, absentmindedly, running fingers through feathers as he pulled his shirt off.
