[Evil Tink]

Solomon flinched as Holden spoke. As furious as he was, Holden had a point...sort of. "You live with her once..then tell me to drop it." He sighed, falling to his butt, running a hand through his hair, "You're wrong Holden...she...nevermind, it's not important." He hated how Holden could always settle him. It drove him nuts. "She's right...Maria looks like Hayden, not the other way around."

He let himself fall onto his back, looking up at the ceiling as his eyes returned to their traditional icy blue. "Hayden..come here." He held out his hand, moving it slightly to motion for her to come over.

Hayden squeaked, unsure if she should. After a moment of debating, she crawled over, whipping her face on her sleeve. She was mildly surprised when he wrapped his arms around her. She curled up on his chest, crying softly.

He gently ran his hand through Hayden's hair, "Ssshh, it's alright." He closed his eyes with a sigh, "I'm sorry..both of you..." He held Hayden close, wishing Holden was there as well. "It's not your fault Hayden...you can't help it.." He ran his hand through her hair again, "You're just...special." He sighed deeply, his breath shaking slightly as he tried to not cry.

Hayden shut her eyes tight, laying on top of him silently for a moment. "Don't..don't be sad Solo. L-like you said...I can't co-control myself sometimes." She sighed, scooting up by Solomon's chin, giving his cheek a quick kiss.
