"Yeah- yeah it's me," he tries to keep his tone steady- keep the fear out of it. "I'm not gonna hurt you and...and I don't think either of you want to hurt me."

He casts a worried glance at Luca - noting the change and hoping this is a good thing and not the calm before the storm.

"So just- just focus on coming back, okay? Neither of you deserves this, you deserve to be back home, where it's safe."
