Dropping back in his seat as the guide gave the change of directions, he leans into Piper trying to calm himself down. He's angry and he's seeing red and he has no idea what to do but he knows he's positively certain that if his brother was here, he'd find himself in a box again.

Good thing he'd run away from that.

"Plan? You think I have a plan?"

He makes a face, considering that.

"Actually, I'm just going to check things out. The truth? Sadly? Marcel wouldn't know me. I was locked in a coffin for most of that time and only released in time to be locked back up so we could run. When my brother took Marcel in, and the bloody upstart thought he had rights he didn't, I was staked for saying so."

Which isn't the only thing he'd done but enough of the truth that it wasn't lying to her. Not outright.

"Are you going to be okay?"
