James smiled. "You will be able to, I promise you that. We'll get you both out and you'll be safe." He clutched her tightly to his chest, stroking her hair gently.  "You and Thomas will be safe from him, I promise." And he couldn't do anything less than promise. He had to. He had to get her and Thomas out, and keep them safe, and make sure he would never be able to hurt them again.

James sat, tense and nervous, until Amanda came back. He didn't relax until she came back in and even then he relaxed only a fraction. He nodded slowly, knowing that he wouldn't be allowed to go to the restaurant or even buy food from the trolley. That was still a service only given to humans. Until they left the train in Germany, he was still a pet, still under Amanda. "I'm going to try to sleep," he said and started moving bags to the floor. He laid down, curling up with his back to Amanda, and closed his eyes, hoping for sleep to come.

It didn't, and he laid awake for a long, long time.

Amanda didn’t say anything, he couldn’t get anything but she could and that was what mattered at the moment she supposed. She continued to make sure Thomas ate and had something to drink, not minding when Becky made her way to the free spot at her side to leave James alone. This was probably going to be quite a long trip. They sat in silence for a bit, before Thomas got bored with the sights and pressed to her side, with a small smile she wrapped her arms around them both.

“When I was a young girl, I used to dream of a lover. He’ll be my shinning knight of strength one day. He carried me to castle in the heavens and battle all my dragons on the way…” Her hands carefully forming and creating the familiar signs for Thomas, she knew he couldn’t hear but she still had the habit of singing along anyway, and Becky could hear her anyway. “…he’ll bring me love, I was longing for. He’ll bring me joy and lasting peace…”

And really, Becky and Thomas had probably more success at falling asleep, considering that it didn’t took her long to lull them into that state, with their heads resting against her lap and still keeping a secure hold on them while she stared out of the window. “I guess there were no castles for me; I do hope it’s different for you two.”
