Look, I'm sure people have already told you, but it's not your fault. It's ... it's not even anything you can do anything about. It sucks; it really sucks when it's someone you care about.
I know how you feel; I really do. They took my brother, from the room right beside me, and I spent a long time feeling like it was somehow my fault, or like I could have stopped it had I just done something differently. Of course, he mocked me and told me I was thinking far too highly of myself, but....
We can't stop them, yet, as much as we'd like to -- all we can do right now is wait for their return, and then pick up the pieces as best we can.
No, not particularly, but tell me: what are you expecting to be able to do? Chase after him? Sure, go ahead, you'll definitely make it where the others failed, won't you? Do you know where to go? Do you expect that they'll simply let you waltz in and run off with him? Think about it. At best, you get nowhere and return here unharmed, and at -- sweet runes, not even at worst -- they take you, too, and when he comes back you're equally useless, if not still in their tender care.
Think about it a moment. As much as you -- and anyone else who has someone important to them taken -- want to, you can't help him right this moment. Yeah, I know it's hard. I do. I really do. But right now, he's somewhere else, and you can't touch him, no matter how you try.
So stay here. He's been there before, so you know what to expect, as much as you can. Prepare. Stock up on warm blankets and gentle food; prepare him a place to recover as comfortably as he can. This is what you can do, so do it, and do it well.
Don't apologize. There was nothing we could've done to prevent this.
You and Sheena can help. Gather up materials for his return. Warm blankets, a soft bed, perhaps the best pillow you can find. Have gentle foods made for him, for it's likely that he won't be able to stomach anything else. Medicines will be required as well. Pain killers, healing medicines... Most of all, be prepared for whatever may happen. Considering the state of others who have returned...

We-- *he ended up writing that rigidly, so he loosens himself up a bit before trying again* We need to prepare for his return.
