audio | unseelie locked | february 7th, post-destruction of caer scima.

[boutant]

[ She would use the video function but there's blood everywhere -- on her hands, her mouth, her chin. There will be more, if she has her way. Her voice is tight with barely concealed emotion -- rage, worry. Next to her comes the low sounds of a wolf who seems to be in pain; poor Brennan had felt it when Caer Scima was attacked, his howl having split across the battlefield like a clap of thunder. ]

If you can be spared or have the capacity, go put out the fires in La Llorona. Caer Scima's destroyed, if you haven't already heard the news. Any refugees can head for the third spire, if they need a place to go. I'd offer my manor as well, but you'll have to get through the burning forest to get there. Still, if you can, it's open to you.

[ A hissed breath. ]

Let me know if you're out of there. And- if anyone knows if a vampire named Aindrea got out of Caer Scima, please tell me.

Oh, and if you still think this war doesn't involve you, is something you can avoid? You're an idiot.

Nothing's completely secure. But we don't have a lot of options -- going south is out. The spires are what we have; they'll have to work.

[ Or else they'll all die. ]

I got out before everything went up in flames. [Thankfully.] But I'll be back as soon as I can. Do you need anything? What can I bring back?

[It's a better question than "are you okay" but it's pretty much the same thing in Hiro's book.]

[boutant]

Thank god. [ She didn't mean to say that so loudly. Oops. ]

Medical supplies. Food, clothing. Um... tents?

[...oh. Well. Thank you for that, Ariadne, that actually makes him stop for a minute. People latched on fast around here but he's not going to say anything about it. (And at least she's okay.)]

Tents, huh? [Well that's just given him an idea of how to transport everything.] I'll drop everything off at your spire as soon as I can. [There's a short pause.] Just...be careful until then, okay?

[Even if he can't see her and he can hear her, he's going to be worried about everybody he's met so far until proven otherwise.]

People will need places to sleep, after all. Blankets, too. Look for a soldier called Kees, when you get there -- horns and eyes like a goat, you can't miss him. He can tell you where they should go.

[ You're very welcome, Hiro. ]

I will be. You too.

Why does he--[You know, maybe it's better just not to ask. She can't see him, but he's nodding instead. Much like Saber, Ariadne's quickly become one of the people in this world that he listens to without a whole lot of argument.]

Okay. I think I have an idea how to transport everything out there. I'll be there and find Kees in a few days.

[Hopefully.]

Okay. Good luck.
