They're both bleeding and they're both crying, both trying to be strong, and Davin squeezes his eyes tight. Spencer's arms around him take him by surprise and he lets out a rough sob, wrapping his arms back around Spencer in kind and holding him tightly. He slips in the water and falls onto his backside, keeping his arms around Spencer as he leans back against the wall.
He doesn't judge Spencer one bit for crying, especially not when tears are still streaming down his own cheeks. The salt stings the open wounds on his face and he sniffs, tightening his fingers around Spencer's shoulder and squeezing his eyes shut as he nods.
"They will," Davin replies, voice low and raw. "We have some awesome people out there. James will have the whole police force out lookin' an' ya know he's stubborn as hell. Him an' Joel will be an unstoppable force. They'll find us."
He has to believe that. Somewhere out there, as scared as they are, people will be looking for them. Davin and Spencer know a lot of powerful people, and for that they're lucky. That gives Davin so much hope, and he takes a deep breath as he rests his head against the brick.
"The spell he wants... I won't do it, no matter what. I can't do that t'Joel, an' it would darken my own magic, twist me into something new." He lets out another shuddering breath and pulls Spencer closer, resting his forehead against the top of Spencer's head. "But I don't want him t'hurt ya either. I don't know what t'do."
