[As promised to Papika, Percy figured things out. As also promised to Papika, he finds himself heading to the room she and Damian share, Mrs. O'Leary trotting along at his feet and a box in his arms. It's enough time for her to at least get the corpse water off and for Damian to recover, if there's really such a thing as that much time.

He has no idea what to do. He has things to tell them, but his priority is to make sure their minds don't break after everything. So, once he's at the door he pauses and shifts the box under his arm, knocking softly with his knuckles.]


Guys, it's me.

[It's some time after the investigation that Percy finds himself making rounds and checking on those he hasn't yet. He knows Yuna's in good hands, as is Xion, and that takes some weight off of him. He finds that he's restless though, frustrated that somehow something like this happened again under their noses.

It's why he finds Barnham in the hall holding a towel, and he tilts his head carefully. There's a box in his arms and Mrs. O'Leary's at his feet, barking cheerfully at the man who helped save her.

Percy, on the other hand, seems a little bummed to see Barnham's demeanor.]


Mr. Barnham? [Just a tentative address, just to see how Barnham's really holding up.]
