Rex smiled slightly curling into a ball, clutching the soft blanket and enjoying the soft, warm bed for a moment. Then that moment ended and he realized that his bed was hard and generally cold. Rex was on his feet in seconds, unfortunately, he probably had a concussion, and things like that tend to interfere with your balance.

Rex stumbled knocking something off a shelf, creating a loud clatter. The boy stumbled across the room almost walking into a wall, a door next to him hissed open and Rex covered his face with his arms, "I'msorryIdidn'tmeantobreakitpleasedon'thurtme" the words tumbled out of the boys mouth, Rex didn't even know why he said things like that, if the guy was going to beat him over whatever he broke he wouldn't take into account that it was an accident. Whoever had just come through the door put a hand on his shoulder, the one that had been kicked earlier, Rex pulled away pain still radiating from his shoulder "Rex" the voice and tone where familiar, "Six?" Rex lowered his arms hesitantly, as if he expected someone to punch him in the face the moment he let his guard down, maybe he was.

Six stood, one hand extended in the air, reaching towards Rex, he didn't move to touch the boy, worried that he might hurt him again. Rex's world lurched again, causing him to lose his balance and stumble into Six. Six caught the boy, and lead him back to the bed, letting the boy lean on him.

Rex settled back into the still warm bed while Six picked up the stuff Rex had knocked down. "Did I break it?" Six glanced back at the boy, he looked sacred and tired. Six inspected the sword the had once been on display on his dresser, Six sighed in relief placing the it back on its stand "no, it's fine," Six looked back at Rex, the boy seemed confused "what happened?" he asked, the last thing he remembered was a group of soldiers surrounding him, "I found you being beaten by some lower level soldiers, I think one of them kicked you in the head" Six never used words like grunts or foot soldiers.

Rex's brow furrowed slightly, if Six found him why did he take him to his room? Why not the lab or the med bay? "after I found you, you told me not to tell Holiday, and as long as you answer my questions truthfully, and I feel that your life isn't on the line, I won't" shit! Of course Six would want to know what happened and now he would never believe that this was the first time. Six was now sitting at the foot of the bed, watching Rex intently, the only thing the young EVO could do now was play down the situation and hope Six didn't label it as 'life threatening' "so?" Rex asked, the sooner they started the sooner the finished, the sooner they finished the sooner Rex could get to his cave to rest. "when did it start?"

"just a couple years ago" Rex replied, studying his fingers Six raised an eyebrow "do you want me to call Dr. Holiday?" he asked Rex shook his head quickly, the less people knew, the better. "If you lie to me again, I will call her" Rex didn't look up from his fingers when he spoke "pretty much forever"

"how often?" Rex shrugged "I donno, like every couple days, but it's not the same people every time"

"who?" Rex turned his head studying the wall "Rex, who dose this?" Six's voice was almost angry, betraying how angry he must have been, "I don't know, everyone wares masks" Six rubbed his temples, he had never wanted to kill anyone more than he wanted to kill those soldiers. "can I uh… can I leave now?" the boy was pointing at the door, poised to bolt. Six huffed softly, he would have preferred to keep the boy in his sight, but if Rex wasn't going to rest, keeping him here wouldn't help "go get some rest" the boy was out the door before Six could finish his sentence.

Rex finally felt like he could breath as he landed in his cave, tuning on the (stolen) lanterns hanging from the roof, Rex grabbed a (stolen) bottle of painkillers and sat at his (not stolen) desk. Rex loved his cave, it was his safe place, full of things that he had stolen and found (it was surprisingly easy to find furniture on the curb if you knew where to look) for Rex this was home, just him, no one else messing with his stuff or asking questions (Rex didn't want anyone to know that he was not only a thief but a bit of a dumpster diver) and no one bugging him about Providence. Which brought him to Six, Rex washed down the pills with a water bottle, one of the four left (note to self: steal more water bottles), Rex knew that he meant well but he couldn't do anything, knowing about the abuse would only make him beat himself up over not being able to help. Things like this where better to deal with on you own.
