ϡ - Chapter TwentySix; And now for something not so different [voice/action]
[ There's a loud splash as someone gets dropped off by the droids...in the river by House 35. The figure that steps out from the embankment is not a familiar face. Most people might not recognize him or perhaps you saw him like this once before. But that's neither here, nor there. Yes, her. The voice over the transmission is completely feminine and

Is everything all right there?

Ah. I-I'm sorry. I can't exactly read that the moment. [ Wait...this is familiar. One person who writes all the time...not sure though. ]

...Dear god.
Ginia quickly angles her journal and turns on the video feed so she can sign at... well, taking a stab there, but.]
/Helios? Is that you?/
Reply
Are you...doing better? [ Best way to not make a situation more awkward is to deflect. And deflect Helios does. ]

/I am. Been back a few days now. Thanks for helping Alice out, I know she can be a handful. I wanted to repay you guys with dinner./
Reply
Ah thank goodness! I'm so glad to hear that. [ Mentioning of Alice just reminds me of that kiss. Cue a subtle not so prominent blush. ]
Y-You don't have to do that, Ginia. You know anyone of us would do so, regardless. Repayment really isn't needed for helping out a friend.

[A thought occurs to Ginia and she gives a slightly awkward smile.]
/Do you need clothes?/

[ But such is Lucetian life. He blinks smiling sheepishly at Ginia's next sign. ]
Oh, y-yes. I, um, they dropped me in the river. I can just go to the store and pick a few things up... [ He sounds so unsure about this. He is trying to hide this fact though! ]

Ginia's smile takes on a softer and more understand tone.]
/Friends help each out, right? Swing by my apartment, you can help yourself to my wardrobe. I can also be a shopping buddy if you need one./
Reply
Ah. I-I might take you up on that offer. F-for shopping. [ Just a nervous laugh. ] I'm not the most competent when it comes to such things.
Reply
Though I don't mind helping you with shopping. Probably tomorrow? I think most places are closer now?/
[There's a musing quality to her words and a secretive smile. Dressing up fem!Helios? This cannot be passed up. She's not planning anything horrible, but the situation is too hilarious to not have some fun with.]
/By the way, it's good to have you back. You've been missed./
Reply
Yes they are closed. They could have at least dropped me off earlier. [ Sigh! Oh well he'll have to make do then...somehow. ] Ah! Th-thank you, Ginia. How long was I gone for?
[ It didn't seem like that long at least. ]
Reply
/I'll get a pot of tea started. And not along at all, three days. I checked up on Frederic and Giles. Dragged Giles off to the fair for some fun./
Reply
Only three? Ah it always feels like longer when you're...in there I suppose. Ah, yes, the amusement park correct? Thank you for that. They both get, um, a bit worried. Which is n-normal.
[ Of course it is. Not that Helios has ever experienced it, well not to the degree that it is here. ]
Reply
/Yes, I noticed. I met Frederic there, we had sweets in your name. I probably still have lots of candy left if you'd like some.
But it's good to see you back and relatively unharmed.
Reply
[ Helios smiles on his end. ] That was very kind of the both of you.
Ah... [ sweets. There's a conflicted look on his face, first a pout then a thoughtful look and then the standard biting of the lip. ] I-I can never say no to those. If, if you wouldn't mind.
Yes I'm glad to be back. I'm grateful they didn't leave me off like they did last time.
[ Half blind, bleeding badly. Was not very fun, neither is this but hurt pride is a bit different than physical pain. ]
