"I'm here to apologize." Benedict said with a frown as he took a step closer to Cedric, who was seated on his bed.
Cedric watched as the guards tensed up at Benedict's actions. He knew these men were trained to consider everything to be a threat, and right now Benedict seemed dangerous to them.
"Relax." Cedric said to the guards, they however remained on alert.
"It's okay Cedric." Benedict said as he gave Cedric a sad look. "I know I am a threat right now. Both Camilla and I could be a danger."
"Are you?" Cedric asked Benedict. He trusted the man enough to expect him to speak the truth.
"I think I am not, but emotions are a dangerous thing." Benedict said, shaking his head. "I cannot deny that I am hurting."
"Benedict, your brother just died. It's normal." Cedric said with a nod. He understood what Benedict was going through, he recently lost his mother, and the pain of losing a loved one was just insurmountable.
