"Nothing to be sorry for. Sometimes people are assholes. My point is, I don't think you're one of them.

If you want time alone to heal, if you want to work out the frustration or the anger or the pain, whatever you want to do, that's fine. But don't expect me or anybody else in this village to hate you."

[ Another shaky sigh as he looks away and nods. He'll wipe at his eyes there and then to try and catch those few brief tears as they fall. ] I-I don't know what to say...

[ He swallows thickly. ] Th-thank you doesn't s-seem good enough. [ It really isn't, he knows, but what else can he possibly do? ]

"You don't have to say anything, man. Just promise me that if you need anything, even just to talk, you'll let me know. Or let somebody know, if you don't want to ask me."

[ Helios lets out a small shaky sigh. Talking. Was never his best point or his most easiest to fall into. But he knows he can't do this alone. He just can't do it and he realizes that now. It hurts to admit and he hates himself for not being stronger and able to handle something like this by himself. But he knows that he has people here who care and who want to help him, for whatever reasons, and he's not sure he can push them away. ] I-I don't want t-to, to b-bother you with th-this though. N-Not anymore than I-I already have.

[ There's a small stifled sob as he shakes his head. He doesn't want to bother anyone at the moment, not after what he's done. ] I-I can't...I can't do it-

[ the admission is outright painful to admit and it clearly shows in his voice and hunched, defeated, posture. ] -I can't do it a-alone.

"Isn't it lucky for you you don't have to."

I tried to smile a bit, just to lighten the mood.

"Now, you sure I can't interest you in a drink?"

I'm a-anything but lucky, really. [ A small choked back laugh at that. Lucky isn't the best word to use. Perhaps blessed and honored to have such caring people around him. But, no, this isn't like back home he knows that. Back home he would have had to but here? Helios shakes his head. ]

I-I don't...I don't drink v-very often. [ Maybe a glass of wine once in awhile but never anything strong. He turns a little to regard Harry then for the first time they've spoken. ] I-I don't...r-really know if I-I'd be the best of c-company for that s-sort of thing. [ He can't drink tea, can he? ]

"Yeah, usually luck isn't something that happens to me, and yet I seem to have gotten off light this time. We all have at least a hint of good luck sometimes. I'm just hoping to be one of yours, yeah?"

I grinned and went to clap him on the shoulder, but remembered, roughly mid-swing, what his reaction to that had been earlier. I awkwardly stopped and let my hand fall again.

"And you don't have to drink alcohol, man, we can just grab coffee or something. Tea, if that's what you're into. Just... to relax. Unwind. Chill. Be zen, or whatever."

[ Another choked up little laugh at that. He supposes Harry is then. He doesn't notice the other moving his hand to clap him on the shoulder but he'd probably apologize for making it hard to offer some semblance of comfort. Helios just sighs and closes his eyes briefly, nodding. ] O-Oh. I-I suppose if, if you really w-want to.

[ He'll look at his things and then back at the house. ] I-I should just...finish up here though.

"Sure. I'll lend a hand."

... Okay, this was gonna suck, given how bad I ached, but fuck it, Helios was worth it.

N-No! No you, you d-don't have to do that. [ He might sound a bit hard in his conviction, whoops. He did not mean for that. ] Y-You're still...r-recovering. I, I can do it later.

[ He doesn't want you to push yourself bro, not on his behalf, especially not on his behalf. ]

"Sure I do. When a guy moves, his guy friends are obligated to help lift furniture and move boxes. It's the Code."

[ A wince and some more hunching from Helios. He's not...going to stop you is he? A small laugh. ] I-I never, um, h-heard of it.

[ He shakes his head and just...resigns himself to getting help. It's not much to carry at least for now. Just a lot of books and some ingredients for potions and things. Helios frowns and looks over back at Harry. ] Y-You don't have to. It's...really not a lot of th-things.

"Good, then it shouldn't take too long."

I went ahead and walked on past him toward the house, not letting the limp show. It was cool. I'd stomached worse pain than this.

[ Helios looks worriedly at Harry as he continues to walk off towards the house. He bites his lip as he follows slowly behind looking for signs of any pain or hurt that the other might be in. ] I-I can heal you. If-if you want. F-For...helping me.

[ But only if the other wanted of course. ]

"Ah, don't worry about me, it's just a couple bangs and scrapes is all."

On the other hand...

"Tell you what. After we finish here I'll let you take a crack with the healing whatsit."

Maybe doing some good would help him feel better.

[ There's a very big frown on his features as Helios continues to follow Harry inside. He looks...uncomfortable and slightly anxious as he moves about the house. It's not as if Adele didn't tell him to stay but...he isn't sure if it would good for him right now.

Looking down at the floor he'll respond with a half-hearted reply. The usual energy lacking. ] Alright. Th-thank you.

[ It's the least he could do after all. ]
