Hola everyone.

I just wanted to say, if anyone wants to hide out together, I'm a pretty skilled swordsman. This...seems like a good event to stay out of.

[Miguel's nervous. There's too much metal here, and while he can probably protect himself, he can't protect his loved ones if they're too far away

[Evelyn has her baseball bat, but there's really no telling how much good it will do with madmen running about the mansion halls. She left her room immediately, because staying in just isn't her style, and now that she's found trousers that she likes to wear, this seems the perfect occasion to don them.

It's dangerous out there, you know.

Warily, steeling herself not to jump at every stray echo, she makes her way down to the tea room and opens the door.]

...Miguel?

[libraritology]

That's not...Miguel, that isn't like him.

[Suffering from something akin to shock, she lets him steer her away from the room.]

I have to find him, I have to- have to at least know.

[kch_kch]

We can send out a message asking after him. Or just...wait until things die down.

[He keeps a hand on her shoulder, half to comfort her and half to make sure she doesn't run off on him.]

It's just too dangerous to do anything but hide out, I'm afraid.

[libraritology]

[She wrings her hands, hating being idle and hating that it's the only thing she can really do.]

What if he's hurt? Somewhere. Alone?

[The walk down the hallway continues. She doesn't even know where they're going.]

[kch_kch]

[Miguel hesitates. Yes, it'd be right to help the man if they can. But the risk in this case seems, well...

What if they're the only two who aren't wolves?]

Do you think he can handle himself?

[libraritology]

I don't know.

[Sure, Philip was in Greenland and had to fight off horrible monsters, but how has he fared here? For God's sake, he lost an eye a few events back!]

Miguel, I just don't want to hide. I'm tired of not being able to do anything.

[She turns to look at him seriously.]

Aren't you?

[kch_kch]

[The little voice says no.]

Yes. But in my experience doing things hasn't been working out all that well.

[Sigh.]

I just don't want you to get hurt, bella.

[libraritology]

At this point, I think that's a little too much to hope for.

[She smiles sadly, taking one of his hands and squeezing it.]

We'll be all right.

[kch_kch]

[He squeezes back.]

I hope so, bella.
