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]

Precisely.

Give me your hand, Helios. [Don't you dare argue with him.]

[folklorist]

[ He's really not going to get out of this, is he? Just a shaky sigh as he holds out his hand, shaking? He's not shaking. Okay maybe he is a little but this is just making him so nervous. He shouldn't be he knows it but he is. He will stop a few feet feet from the bed. ] Then-then it shouldn't be a problem.

[consultmybooks]

[No, no he's not. Giles was rendered completely useless to Buffy by being bitten, and Helios has gone above and beyond tonight. He's going to reciprocate if it kills him.

By now, Giles is well adjusted to the fact that Helios is just colder than normal. Maybe one day he'll find a good opportunity to ask, but considering all of the points where it's come up in the past, there hasn't been one yet. Especially not now.

He takes Helios' injured hand in both of his. Then he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and calls on the Filial healing spirit.

She answers that call more readily than she has since his return, taking most of the strain off of Giles in his efforts to close the cut. And close it does, after a couple of minutes. Without even a scar. The effort leaves Giles breathing more heavily and teetering on the edge of unconsciousness, but it's actually the most successful healing he's ever managed.]

I-I told you didn't have to. [ Helios sounds annoyed he honestly could have done it himself. It really wasn't any trouble but he appreciates what Giles did. He just lets out a sigh looking at his hand and then Giles with a frown. It turns into a thin line as Giles' breathing gets heavier. ] You need to rest.

[consultmybooks]

[Yes, he does. He needs to rest badly. Nala did a lot of the work, but even opening his eyes is too much work right now.]

Th-The bandage will need changing in a f-few hours.

...can you check back then? [And rest until then?]

[folklorist]

[ He'll be looking down at Giles for a few brief moments before replying. ] Of course. I'll be back in a few hours. [ He will definately be trying to rest himself. Though he's still a bit worried but he is certainly going to try. ]

[consultmybooks]

Thank you, Helios.

[He makes a few token efforts to actually make himself comfortable on the bed, and those token efforts are enough to sap the rest of the energy from his body and make him fall into a heavy, hopefully healing sleep.]
