Max smiled, looking over at Cassie. "Jay, you okay here while I show Cassie around? If you and Octavius head up to the house, I'll be there after I finish."

Octavius followed Jason, bowl in hand. He looked over at Cassie. He should tell her he was sorry. "Cassie? I'm sorry...and glad you're okay."

Cassie looked over to Octavius confused. "What are you sorry for? You've done nothing wrong..." What could he have been sorry about? Was it the water? "If you're talking about the whole water thing, you were just trying to help..."

Jason nodded. "We'll be all good, meet you at the house!" He waited until Octavius' attention was on the bowl before he ladled in as much as he wanted.

Max waited, watching them talk.

Octavius nodded, holding the bowl tightly like it held the answers he saught. "Yeah...and what they did. I just wanted to help. I'm glad you're safe. I hope you get to be happy."

Cassie shook her head and smiled. "You didn't help them, and you tried to help me. Thank you, Octavius, I'm sorry for snarling at you..."

Jason glanced to Max happy that the two were getting along. Perhaps if he could convince his cousin they could all go camping and or boating together.

"Don't be. I expected it. Not to say you are mean," Octavius added in a rush. "Just that when I helped others, they snapped at me too. So did a lot of people. I just...I could help and...I'm not good with actual interaction..."

Max smiled patting Octavius' back. "You'll get there, wherever you want to be at. Trust me. Jason is a good guy. He'll help you." Offering his arm to Cassie, Max took a deep breath. Things would be okay. He'd make it so.

Cassie chuckled softly and blushed a little. "It's okay, I'm not really good at it either... I'm more likely to snap at someone like I did you... It's how I kept myself safe for so long... Just snapping at everyone even if they were trying to help me, so again, I'm sorry." She looked up at Max before down at his arm confused as to what he was offering until she remembered seeing some men do that for women as they walked through the cell area, and she placed her hand on his arm. "See you later Octavius," She cast him a smile before leaving with Max.

"I most definitely will help you as much as I can." Jason said filling his bowl.

Max smiled, leading her out with a wave to the others. Octavius called back a goodbye as they left. Once outside, Max led Cassie through the rows of trees, worried. "...Cassie...you need to know something about this land. More people live here then just you. More powered people. Not slaves. No longer. They will be warned about you when they get here from now on...but you are kind of the first line of defense. Anyone not powered is okay to execute. I don't keep slaves. I have a notorious rep for being hard enough to send them running and the people I send after them, for appeance sake are my men. They swear the person is killed. In reality, we are getting the free and safety away from those who would use them," he admitted.

Octavius smiled, feeling better. "Thank you."

Cassie froze and stared at him in silence for a few moments as everything he just said was processed. "You're... You're part of the rebellion... I had heard rumors and stories muttered behind the slavers' backs about it... About people like you..." She took a breath and shook her head. "I understand why you said this place was special now." She smiled softly, her blue and green eyes reflecting her happiness, but the smile was short-lived. "I swear to you that I will protect you and this place with my life. I'll need to meet the other people who live here so I can get their scent, that way I'll know who belongs and who doesn't."

"It's my pleasure," Jason grinned. "Eat up and I'll show you the house."

"That is why we're walking over to the hidden bunker. You don't have to stay. Your mate probably misses you. You can go be free after you're at full health," Max said, honestly.

Octavius nodded, sitting back down before eating. He was stuffed by the time he finished.

Cassie's pace stuttered for a moment but she remained by Max's side. "My mate was killed when the slavers found us..." Her voice cracked, though she kept the tears from falling. "The rest of my tribe was wiped out or taken only the gods know where..." She growled and her grip on his arm tightened. "The only place I'd go back to would be to the slavers to rip them apart..."

Jason waited patiently helping with the dishes.

Max nearly fell over. Cursing under his breath, Max turned his attention to her. "I'm so sorry. I thought...I swear those are dead men walking. I'm so sorry. You should never have had to deal with that...you have a home here. Forever, if you wish. You don't have to leave and if people give you funny looks, I am going to help take them out. You are free. I want you to know that. The moment I bought your enslavement, you were free. I do not keep slaves. I have friends."

Vera smiled, shaking her head. "I can get those, Jason. You and Octavius go explore."

"But you made dinner. I want to help," Octavius murmured, not about to back down.

Cassie looked up at Max for a moment in silence before her tears fell and she stepped forwards and hugged him tightly. "Thank you..." She whispered tucking her head against his chest and crying both tears of joy and some of pain, but she was free and would get to taste her revenge, quite literally.

"Vera," Jason said after hearing the tone in Octavius' voice. "In this I don't think you have a choice..." Since he had his hands on the dishes, and Octavius was determined to help, he figured that they had a pretty good chance of winning this fight.

He hugged her back, just as tightly. "You shouldn't thank me...my people have hunted down and hurt innocent people. Kiddnapped and stolen lives. The least I can do is get as many free as I can. Whatever you need, just say the word and it's yours. Obviously we can't tell people. That's why I made sure Octavius was loyal. This?" He murmured, yanking at the cape. "This is only valuable to keep things secret. Give me power enough to save people. My father...doesn't entirely understand. But I am his only son so...he turns a blind eye. I'm sure he'll see me wed in an attempt to get me to stop. But with my career, I get a slight pass...I'm just rambling now, aren't I?"

Vera threw up her hands with a sigh. "Outnumbered," she said with a smile. "I'll get them next time."

Octavius cracked a smile and shook his head. Let her think that. If he was around, he was getting it.

"They're not your people then, if you don't truly side with them, then they're not your people." She looked up at him, trails of wet running down her cheeks. "You're different, you're better than them. You're trying to stop them," She tilted her head a little. "You don't get to pick your mate?" She sniffled and stepped back wiping the trails off with her hands.

Jason chuckled and made room at the sink for Octavius. "That is if we don't get them next time,"

Max smiled sadly. "I do. But odds are she needs to be a political match. Not for love. Love is harder to find. I should not ever even begin to sound complainy to you though. It'll work out, I'm sure."

Octavius nudged Jason, grinning. "Yes."

"I hope so," Cassie matched his smile and looked off in the direction they'd been walking. "I think if you went in first to let them know about me that'd be good, then I'll come in to let them see me, and then fully change so they can see my power and then that shape will give me the best sense of smell."

Jason laughed and nudged him back. "I'm glad you're on my side."

Max nodded. "I will. Stay here just a moment. I will be right back," he told her, feeling incredibly protective of her. If anything happened to her, he was going to be personally responsible. But then, he was being silly. She would be fine.

"Oh, sure, gang up on the beautiful woman in the room, why don't you," Vera teased, grinning at them fondly. "But then, who wouldn't take Jason's side? I can't blame you, Octavius. He is a fine specimen."

Octavius went beat red at that, he knew what she could be implying. She hadn't meant it like that, he was sure but that didn't stop his cheeks from flaming.

Cassie waited where he left her thankfully keeping her balance. It was like riding a bike, but what wouldn't be like riding a bike would be meeting these other ex-slaves. What would they be like? What would they think of her? How would they react to having her guard them?

Jason turned and posed with a hand behind his head and the other on his hip. "Just fine? Oh sweet lady, I'm the specimen," He lost it and burst into laughter, though he did notice Octavius' blush, but didn't want to draw attention to it right now. He'd ask about it later.

Max didn't have many people there. But he prepared them before returning to get Cassie. I don't have too many people in any one place just in case. But for now, we are hosting five people," Max explained.

Octavius lost his blush as he watched Jason. He couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Okay," Cassie took a breath and entered the secret bunker hoping they wouldn't hate her.

Jason chuckled and grinned hearing Octavius laugh. "That is a wonderful sound there, I hope you'll make that sound and smile a lot more now," He turned and got back to finish the dishes.
