This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Helios anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
[Written, June 10th]

He had... suggested I come live with him and his family. [As awkward as that still seems.] ... I did not want to make his family a target, but...

[... well, he's been paranoid ever since, and that's not the healthiest way to live.]

[folklorist]

I see. [ Helios pauses looking at the other with some concern. ] Perhaps you should...take him up on his offer, Robert. At-at least until things calm down.

[semper_cogitans]

... I...

I might consider it.

[Just... just. His brothers... Robert will feel great shame for kind of wishing they wouldn't interfere, later on.]

[folklorist]

As you should. It's imperative that you stay safe as well, Robert.

[ Please do not go and get yourself killed. Helios cannot take another person close to him dying. ] In the meantime I could stop by one day and put up a barrier around your apartment, if you'd like. I'm not just going to let you standby like a sitting duck. Not if, not if I can do something about it.

[semper_cogitans]

[Unfortunately for Helios, Robert is also the most likely person to get killed out of all the people Helios knows.]

I... I would like that. But... is it possible to dispell such a barrier later, if it becomes necessary that I move out?

[... The barrier won't be a totally reassuring thing either. Just because Robert's paranoid. And stuff will still end up spawning inside his apartment.]

[folklorist]

[ Helios knows this and that's why he offered to do so. Even if it puts him in danger...he can't just leave it like this.

Helios nods thinking before continuing. ]

Yes of course. It's designed in that you can put it up or down whenever you want. Also to fit the dimensions of a house or building it needs flexibility.

[semper_cogitans]

It seems a... very useful spell...

[Robert looks seriously over at Helios.] ... I would... wish to learn more about your magic, if you did not mind. Even if I cannot utilize it, it... is still interesting.

... But in the meantime... I think you ought to p-protect yourself...

[folklorist]

Oh it certainly is! It's helped multiple times in the past. A-And I'm sure it gives people at least some peace of mind.

[ Helios blinks and then nods. ] Certainly, Robert. I-I wouldn't be opposed to teaching you more. And I will, no need to worry about me!

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert smiles gently at Helios. Even with everything that goes wrong, Helios always knows how to make him feel better.]

Thank you for... everything.

[Including not hating him.]
