Skylar wanted to turn back and retort to Pip, but he knew better - he needed to find Ethel, and more than that, he knew Pip was angry. A lot of people were, but they were angry with reason, and he couldn't fault that. He could hear the rows beginning as he chased down the hill towards the centre of the village, Ethel just within sight.
Eventually, he caught up to her and she turned, tripping as she did. As she threw her arms out, Skylar darted forward and caught her a little, slowing her descent to the tree, but still sitting her down. Then he took a seat on the roots next to her and sighed.
"I know you didn't, Ethel. It's okay..."
He reached his arm around her and pulled her closer to him, staring out over the village - it was quiet, everybody was still up in the farmhouse. He needed to make sure that she was okay first and foremost. He leaned in and gently kissed her forehead and furrowed his eyebrows - it was a frustrating situation. A very frustrating situation.
"We should ah... probably talk about this entire... fiasco, though." He continued, smiling a little, "Especially what with the Princess of Sumar dating a... well, a peasant. The scandal!"
He was trying to make light of the situation for her, if only to distract her from the return of what must be a horrible burden. He squeezed her arm a little and chuckled, although it was a little hollow.
