Ah well, that's up for debate, really. Because the problem with a lucid moment is the crushing reality of their situation is going to come crashing in and force a rather ugly discussion. For whatever reason, his captors were hellbent on getting the whereabouts of 'the last Hawke'. Somehow she poses some threat to the mastermind of all this chaos. It hadn't taken long in the early days to realize he was being tortured to try to lure her out.

And instead, he'd been walked right to her doorstep. Well, shit.

Suddenly the ease of getting out makes a little too much sense. The open cell door, taken out without bonds. This was the plan all along. If Bethany wouldn't rise to the bait, wait for her now insane spouse lead the way to her. He stayed silent and suffered greatly for her sake... and now? What was it for?

Whatever traces of his calm composure and stoicism vanished alongside his mental stability ages ago. His eyes widen in fear and panic and he pushes Bethany back (not too roughly) with a a firm shake of the head. "I cannot stay. I have to go." Wait. That won't help. He probably sounds as if he's slipped again, since his thoughts are coming out one over another. For once, he's half-way sane; the paranoia is vicious, however. "No. If we were followed, it won't matter if I leave. You'll be here. Forgive me. I've led them here. You have to flee."

Putting aside for a moment that Aleron is in absolutely no condition to be traveling anywhere, he makes to stand as if intending to be the one to leave after all. Except he's not able to actually get up and flops down rather uselessly. His mind continues to race and it's all to find some sort of way to convince her how much danger he's put her in unintentionally. As his distress mounts, he begins to shake, which is terribly uncharacteristic for him. Or it used to be. Sadly the building panic is doing a number on his concentration and making it impossible to stave off the madness.
