I think this place really does hate me..
[The fact that he's laying outside, on the ground, in the rain, in plain sight of anybody strange enough to be walking around in the rain. Nothing too weird right? Besides the laying in the rain...and the obvious lack of shoes.
Come closer though and you might see that he looks like he just lost the worst one-

Niko!
[ He rises from his seat within the apartment. Time to leave. ]
Hold on, I'm coming -- where are you?

Uh...close to the community building.

I'll be there.
[ The journal closes. Forget the rain and an umbrella, he heads out in hopes of finding his friend quickly. ]

Okay.
[Good man Alf, Niko won't be moving at all 'till he's found.]

Alf nearly slips in his haste when he exits the community building. He catches himself from falling, and once he straightens he plunges straight into the rainy weather.
Please hold . . .
A few minutes later, he spots red, though with some difficulty thanks to all that water. But it's enough for him to come sprinting over. ]
Niko!

Niko will just wave a little when he hears him. Hello!]

It is Niko. He closes the last bit of distance between them, and wipes his face with a hand to clear away some water. He crouches down. ]
Are you all right? [ A pause. That's a stupid question. ] No, never mind that for now. We need to get you back inside.

But Niko will just smile when he sees Alf.]
I'm gonna need some help with that. [He's tried...and it didn't end well by himself.]

Alf takes the moment to take in Niko's full condition, which is when he notices the lack of shoes. He offers a shoulder. ]
Here. You can lean on me.

And well, that's not going to work very well. He's lacking any coordination at all right now.]

Noticing the lack of much movement, he straightens again. ]
Is it not going to work?

A headshake and a wince. It's really just his head.]

He offers the shoulder again. If L'Arc can do it, Alf can do it, too. He hopes. ]
Then let's give it a try. The sooner you're out of this rain, the better.
Reply
That barely even worked for L'arc, but Niko will be trying his best to grab on at least.]
...I know. [Watch him catch a cold either way though, because this place hates him.]
Reply
To make sure Niko doesn't slip off, Alf grips the arm around his shoulder tightly. He can do this. Rain doesn't bother him. ]
Our place isn't too far from here. The rain will hinder us, but we should be able to make it back before long.

Well it's bothering Niko. Rain makes it twice as hard to told on to things. He'll just nod though. He just wants to lay back down.]
