Wincing, he pushes himself back up to his knees, clutching at his head. Getting up to his feet is an effort - his leg screams in pain at him, the teeth and claw marks scoring the skin still very much livid despite Helios' best efforts. His shoulders ache from where one of the sea monsters...one of the sea monsters...got in a lucky shot before he managed to get out of the water. Probably about the time he was trying to rescue Katie. He's missing a bit of time around then, come to think of it ( ... )

It's a few minutes later when she gets the urge to check her notebook, maybe see who else has come in and check up on a few more people.
That's when she sees the recording.
No. No, no, no. Not so soon, not right after a draft. Ginia's out the door, flying down the stairs even as Giles' words ring in her mind.
'When I hear someone being taken? I try to run to them. I always try and run. I never find them in time, and I couldn't do anything to stop them if I did. But I look. And she'll try. Dammit, she'll try, even if he's well gone by the time she gets to the woods. She searches, tries to track them down, but there's nothing ( ... )

It was too soon. Why did they always come when it was too soon? Granted everything was in the end no one was ever prepared for it. Much like everything in this place. But with his journal in tow he rushes down part of the way eyes widening as he realizes it's Giles. Of course. He too runs knowing it'll never be enough. It's not so much as panic but sheer disbelief. Right after the draft? He has a spell in mind as he reaches the bottom floor, shortly after Ginia and the droids have left. But there is no one there. He couldn't even fight them and at least try to stop them. Not that it would matter.
When Ginia returns she might find Helios sitting outside the apartment. He looks tired, ever to tired, and he can only stagger to his feet when she goes to drop off his things. ] Ginia...
((ooc; I hope this is okay too! :I))

[Ginia's surprised to see Helios sitting outside the apartment and there's a brief flicker of surprise before a tired smile takes over. Wordlessly, she holds out Giles' belongings for him to take, trying to find words to sign once her hands are free.
What's there to say? After almost a week of fighting, just when things look peaceful again, it all has to be taken away.]
/It's not fair, is it./

[ Helios is just as surprised to see Ginia as she is to see him. There's a tense moment of being able not to smile and smile. But he manages one despite everything. Perhaps it's to comfort Ginia or himself. He takes Giles' things from Ginia looking at them for a few brief moments. ]
He'll be back. But no, it's not.

(God, how she hates that. Hates being useless.)]
/We'll keep an eye out for him. I'll keep an eye out for him.
Let's go inside, I'll make you some tea. We'll have to tell Frederic if he doesn't see first./

We will. And when he returns we'll have to definately make him a good dinner. Tea... [ He shouldn't be so eager to have some. But really it's the only thing that gets him to turn towards his apartment door. ]
Ah. That sounds good, and Frederic. Gods he doesn't know yet.
[ One thing he'll never get over is telling people when this happens. ]

[Ginia hates being the bearer of bad news and there's no easy way to say it, but better to be the one delivering the news than to find out through a shocking video?
Before heading in the building, Ginia can't help but glance back at the edge of the woods.]

Oh hello to both of you, I...assume you both saw what happened.

[ He had been worrying the entire time, not sure where the Malnosso had deposited either of his friends. And then with Giles being kidnapped he...he didn't know what to think. He was going to contact the both of them when Giles... ] Y-Yes. They, they took him.
[ A tired sigh. ] We were just...going to go back inside and make some tea.

Care to join us for tea?/
Reply
Yes. Though please, let me make the tea.

I don't think we have any sweets left in the kitchen. [ Oh dear. ]
