There's a knock on Silas' door the day after he's rescued Freya!

Freya's finally awake, though she looks like she has a wicked hangover.

She tries to use this moment to read who's on the other side of the door.

"Get out here."

It's a voice that should be very familiar to both siblings.

Freya gets an intense feeling of barely restrained anger!

"!!"

Silas involuntarily pops up to his feet, taking a moment before going to open the door.

"...father."

Freya pales at that feeling, immediately getting out of her father's mind for now.

She's not sure she's ever experienced that from her father before, and she quickly scrambles to her feet, trying to stand straight.

"Father." she acknowledges too once the door is open.

Seth looks at them both for a moment, then turns on the spot.

"Follow me. Both of you."

He starts walking quickly out of the pod, heading for the basement without saying another word.

Silas glances back at Freya but does as he's told!

Freya follows obediently, glancing at Silas as well.

'Be careful. I could read him...he's one step away from losing his composure.' she'd say in his mind, still looking shaken up.

Seth continues to say nothing, leading them to the basement doors and down the stairs.

Once there, they'll find Mae in the basement already, as well as a sheet covering a body.

One of the boxes has tipped over, and there's part of a rope still wrapped around one of the rafters.

'Don't say anything about last night.'

Silas glances back at his sister again before following Seth downstairs.

When he does, Silas fights the urge to drop his jaw by clenching it. He looks away and towards the wall.

Freya seems mostly stone-faced as she stares at the scene, but it's clear she's still having a difficult time.

Mae on the other hand just stares at her children, arms crossed. She hadn't known why she was here until a few minutes ago so she's leaving it up to Seth for now.

Seth doesn't look at his children, he just stares at the body on the floor.

"You both are going to tell me every single event that led to this happening."

Freya can't help but look back at her mother. It's surprisingly the least awkward place to look since Mae always has a sour look on her face.

"There was a case of some annoying girl showing up and she started talking about her affections for you. Maybe she couldn't take it anymore..."

Mae's eyes narrow.

Both siblings find their weight suddenly double, then double again, pushing them to the floor.

Seth slowly turns to face them.

"Don't. Lie. To. Me."

He carefully punctuates each word.

"Your mother and I have just spent hours traveling here, due mostly to Tamara deciding she wanted to speak with me one last time before she ended her life. This is your chance to tell me what happened from your side, I suggest you don't squander it."

Then, almost as an afterthought, the gravity returns to normal.

Silas drops to one knee, trying to fight it so he doesn't at least get forced into a position closer resembling a bow.

'He doesn't know anything.'

Silas stays silent, holding strong as he urges his sister to do the same. As soon as the gravity is lifted he stands and straightens his lapels.

Freya gives a soft cry as she falls to her hands and knees, really in no condition to be fighting anything. Once the gravity is lifted, she feels less and less confident about lying to him.

'Without Tamara guarding his mind, I can probably read it...let me at least make sure...'

Freya wouldn't get up immediately, instead she'd try to...filter through his anger to look for evidence that this conversation happened.

Seth continues watching, the smile that usually covers his expression having disappeared long ago.

Freya can read the surface thoughts, most of them revolving around how stupid his children have grown to be, as well as a combination of both regret and disgust in terms of Tamara.

He needs to give him something, his father won't let the silence stand for long.

"I forced her to let Freya explore the city on her own. I wanted her to experience some of the freedoms I have enjoyed for myself." He holds his chin high, indignantly.

Well. His remark on stupidity hurt, but, she didn't have time to be upset about it.

'I can't tell what he knows...but isn't it safe to assume he knows enough if he's angry with us?'

Freya doesn't add to Silas' explanation. She doesn't want to risk another hit of gravity.

"You did, did you?"

Seth steps right up to Silas, looking down at him.

"Because as I understand it, you enjoyed 'playing with my toy'."

He narrows his eyes, all but glaring at his son.

'He's bluffing. He's upset over the loss of an asset that he's trying to-'

Well, never mind on that, Freya.

Silas finally looks up to him, snorting.

"That's what she told you? That's absurd, father."

'This is bad.'

With the statement, Freya wasn't about to try to lie her way through anything. Sure, she held a united front with her brother at first so as to not screw him over.

But...she wasn't going to mess with her father. Not with the anger she felt. She almost wished Silas felt it too so he would know better...

"You still insist on lying to me."

Seth sighs heavily through his nose, enough that Silas can feel his breath.

"Silas, you are my one and only son, and as such, I will always love you. You were the one who would carry on my name eventually, and I prepared you with every skill I could develop for you."

He steps back away from him.

"You are my greatest disappointment."

For once, he lets a frown touch his lips, not bothering to hide his emotions behind a pleasant or neutral mask.

"You were born without a power, but I ensured you would be able to defend yourself. I gave you every advantage in life that I could. But now, not only have you deprived me of my 'eyes' in some childish attempt of competing with me, but you endangered your sister by allowing her to leave the Academy's grounds on her own where she could be attacked."
