Float away with the sea
Tears full of regret

Even as Joshua heard his sister's question, he could feel his lips curl into a more pensive smile as his eyes fell closed in contemplation. She was actually asking him if he was alright and that if he was plan on getting her out of here, that he was going with her? It was just like Caroline to worry about others above herself even when the said opposite person in no way deserved it. The Carolinian knew that he didn't deserve his sister's worry, not after what had happened. He was the one who had brought about the war, leading to the inevitable draw for his own sister to be brought into the war. She couldn't fight against him, he couldn't forgive that bastard for even thinking to ask her to join in the fighting. Then again, as much as he didn't like that she had joined the war, it would have hurt much worse if they had been fighting on opposite sides.
Now though they were here. In dank prison cells awaiting whatever punishment that would be handed down to them. Why he hoped that he would be able to get her released somehow, help her escape. He didn't care if he wouldn't join her, he knew that he wouldn't when the time came. He would make sure she was safe, he couldn't allow the punishment to come to her.
"'M fine sis...Really, 'm fine." He was skirting around the issue of him going with her, he couldn't tell her the truth of his plan. He knew but she couldn't. Not until the time came when he put it into action, it was the only thing he could do for her right now, and he fully intended to do it.
Even among the gloom, an old memory began to return to his mind. A story that they had been told when they were both young, the story of the wish in a bottle. That if they sent the wish in a bottle out to sea, that their wish would come true. With it...His wish would come true if his plan did work. "Caroline...Ya 'member th' story 'bout th' bottle in th' sea?"
Looking down I only see my own silhouette
Why do we only realize our sins when everything has come to an end?
