[takion]

Takion had been rather docile the whole way to Mui. Mostly he was too busy being intrigued by the novelty of floating. However Saetan had done it, it was a neat trick that made traveling while injured much easier.

Relief flooded through Takion as he saw that his rooms mostly intact. He stumbled slightly in his hurry to get to his room, but caught himself on the doorframe. Inside, he could see his books. The stacks had fallen haphazardly all over the place, but they were still in one piece.

Except... Takion had loaned out his Alice books. They wouldn't be here with the rest. What if Alice's dorm hadn't weathered the storm nearly as well?

Saetan was at Takion's side the instant he stumbled, one hand reaching out to steady him as he surveyed the damage. Aside from the topple furniture, the room looked mostly undamaged, much to his relief. Still, Takion looked worried nonetheless.

"What is it?" He asked curiously. As far as he could see, all the books were safe.

"My Alice books," Takion sighed. "I'd forgotten that I'd loaned them out. They won't be here." He leaned against Saetan, burying his face against his shoulder. Takion hated thinking that maybe he'd lost those two particular books. Even knowing that he could request new copies didn't cheer him up, because there wouldn't be any requisitions granted until the Indigeo came back online. And there was no telling how long that might be.

Saetan did not know what these Alice books were, but any fool could see they were important to Takion. He pulled him closer, hand tightening sympathetically on his shoulder. "They might still be safe," He suggested hopefully. "None of the other buildings have been completely destroyed."
