Gwen didn't know how many people were holding down the Western District, so she wasn't sure howmuch of a problem it might be. Better to scout it out and see for herself, right? Right!

Unlike Michael, she wasn't having any difficulty with her powers - but then, she'd only just gotten them back again. Encountering the same spider that had tried to make a meal out of the man, Gwen made short work of it - a shine of pink energy, a fierce throw, and the ball of mana slammed into the spider, sending it careening backwards. The arachnid, once its backward momentum stopped, slumped to the ground. Gwen paid it no further mind, sensing no further threat from it.

Moreover, she heard someone call out. "You shouldn't be here," she called back, already sprinting over towards the voice, "Kalliste is --" She stopped. "Oh no. Not you."

Hi Michael.

He should be happy to see someone he knows in this strange place, but then again, she and the troglodyte did just spoil his plans...didn't they?

He straightens himself up and crosses his arms. Gwendolyn doesn't need to know he's powerless...not yet, anyway.

He saw the pink glow of her mana, so she clearly is not suffering from whatever ailment he's picked up.

"Nice to see you, too, Lovely Gwen. Am I take it you are here to deal with me? I feel so special,"

She bristles, as per usual. If he just arrived, then he wasn't much of a threat - but he could have just been laying low. As unlikely as that was given his nature.

She needed to tell Ben. "Don't feel too special, I'd do the same for anyone else stuck out here in this situation."

What was the last thing he remembered? "It isn't safe here." But at the same time, she was loathe to bring him to the Welcome House. The closest one was in the Western District - but it was safer in Kalliste. No, better bring him to the Welcome House and make arrangements for him to go to Kalliste from there.

Why did she have to be the one to find him?

"Come on, I can at least take you to a safer place than this."

He'd like to snap at her. He would like to say he doesn't need her help or anyone else's, but he knows that isn't true today, so he bites it back and instead decides to go with one of his usual sarcastic retorts.

"Oh, Lovely, you do care."

Still, he moves to follow her, arms still wrapped around himself as if that hides the fact that he can't use his powers.
