[What appears to be a man sleeping peacefully, his back against a tree at the forest's edge is recorded on the journal's video.  It's hard to tell at first, the angle is strange, as though looking up at him from the ground.  And what seems peaceful repose is cast suddenly into suspicious light by the blood dotting his clothing and skin.

[Knowing that Oz had gone out to try and retrieve Break, a certain Nightray and his servant have decided to wait up for either one's return to the house. Elliot doesn't have much of a choice given the state he came back in, meaning that Leo likely wouldn't let him leave, but waiting for Break was the least he could do.

...hopefully it doesn't take too long, though. Elliot has found that trying to read to pass the time is just a real pain in the ass right now.]

[Where Elliot is Leo won't be far away-- and he's probably seated somewhere across his master though as much as he's reading, he's probably watching Elliot as well.

...come back, Break, before this Nightray gets too stir-crazy.]

[It's a while before he returns, rumpled and bloodstained and certainly not in the best shape, but alive and well enough. His eyesight (or lack thereof) makes it difficult to tell who is home, if there's anyone at all. He leans heavily on the door though, ears tuned to the sounds of life; breathing, a rustling of pages, the movement of fabrics...]

Back to the old homestead. Did anyone miss me?

[He calls out to the open air, a chord of sarcasm in his tone.]

[Elliot stands up when the front door opens, almost eager to toss the book aside in favor of something, well, different. He doesn't acknowledge the sarcasm or anything like that-the man's condition warrants some concern instead.]

Are you all right?
