[EDMUND.]

Ah, of course Eddie should have expected another Van Doren to appear soon afterwards. The family were attached by the hip most of the time, despite frequent bickers and squabbles. They reminded Eddie of him and his brothers when there were still five of them. Nowadays, rooms almost seemed vacant (not quite quiet with both Alfie and Tommy of all of the brothers to live with) with the absence of Dominik and Frank. Whilst perhaps Frank could visit from time to time, maybe even come out of whatever ❛ early retirement ❜ malarkey he’d settled down into in Bluestem Prairie, Dominik was not as lucky.

At least Eddie got to see Dominik at least once daily. His resting place was marked with nothing but a nearby conifer and boulder, the snow quick to hide the evidence of a shallow grave.

From the hurt that Eddie felt every day when he’d visit his brother’s grave, he couldn’t wish the grief upon anybody, especially the Van Doren family. And so, he would refuse to allow Seb to die. Seb was not going to be buried upon this mountain today, or tomorrow, or any day in the foreseeable future. Eyes darted around as Cassian arrived, Maxine making a sly comment as Eddie’s eyes followed Cassian’s gaze down to the leader's hand on his sister’s back. Ed almost felt obliged to pull his hand away quickly, instead removing the light pressure of his touch and instead hovering his hand nearby as he walked with the others back towards the Lodge.

❝ Is Dickie gonna be okay? ❞

❝ I hope so. ❞

❝ My medics will do anything in their power to save him… but I can’t make any promises. ❞ Eddie admitted, and perhaps he should’ve come across a little more sympathetic. At least he attempted to come across as soothing.

Eventually, the group stepped into the lodge and only then did Eddie move away, slowly removing his gloves as eyes darted over towards Freddie with Seb. ❝ Let’s get him to the infirmary. ❞ And then he raised his walkie-talkie from his belt up to his lips. ❝ I need medics at the front entrance now. ❞ He uttered before soft blues shifted back towards Max as she explained the family’s situation.

❝ It’s fine. ❞ He dismissed in a soft breath, brows bunching together before glancing towards Cassian. ❝ Do you know whether your other siblings made it? ❞ He questioned; although words were blunt, they were also considerate. After all, if they did make it, then Eddie could be sure to look out for them. If not, then he would be desperate to know more about this group that attacked the Van Dorens - he’d be interested in paying them a little visit on the Van Dorens' behalf.
