Charlotte could hardly believe what she was hearing, was Draco seriously suggesting some sort of medieval sounding trial? What the hell would this contain? Knowing Draco, nothing good could come of it. She slid her hand into Micah's, seeing the frustration growing on his face, "We don't know what it is yet! Maybe.. maybe it won't be as bad as you think?" but fear was quite evident on her face as she looked into his eyes. In a much quieter voice she said, "I wouldn't see any harm come to you anyway.." her voice trailed away as she watched him take another drink, downing her own one at the same time.
Nathan hadn't really thought of the trial in the same way Aphroditi clearly had, "he use to always put us up against each other. He loved watching us all fight for the spot as best kid, if it were a running race or who could bring home the best catch." his voice trailed off and looked over at his brother and then at his sister before back at Aphroditi, "I wouldn't do anything I disagree with, there is always the chance to walk away. My father might be evil but he would never see death come to one of his children, that I know." he looked down at her, his hand stroking her cheek and a smile crossing his lips, "are you worried about me dita?"
