...There was a similar guide in my own trip to the catacombs, and she gave me a gift, that I later returned to its rightful owner - one of the Watchers.
Her form was also changing quite often. If... I had to guess, then... that guide of yours very well could be one of them.
[There's no uncertainty in her voice, but Xie Lian will absolutely notice the horror dawning on her face.]
He--oh, gods.
I can only pray that Akira or Rin recovered something from him, for I know that neither van Zieks nor I did. We were separated from them when the Kiln opened.
I - are you sure? [ he's not sure what the importance of the item he gave to suriel was - her guess was correct - but, it clearly mattered to her, and the idea of...
san lang makes a low, unhappy noise; he shivers, full body, and suddenly presses closer to xie lian's leg. ]
I can ask - don't lose hope, Miss Alisaie. I can ask that Watcher of it, as well. Surely...
[ surely it will be fine, right? it must be. ] They are quite dear to me; if they are missing something and know of it, then perhaps they will know and tell me of it. I'll find out what I can.
[ he nods…. Honestly also distraught but trying hard not to show it. ]
…yes. It is. [ and then a moment later - ] For his safety, Miss Alisae - please, please do not tell anyone that he and I are from the same realm. If the Watchers reveal too much information about themselves, they are punished for it - and I worry over him always.
[ he reaches over because it is affection week, and finds alisaie's hand, giving it a squeeze. the gesture matches his sincere tone. ]
Thank you, Miss Alisaie. Truly. It means the world to me.
Baraqiel is very - I don't think I can say much, but he is very, very dear to me. If there is any way that I can help those of you that went to a world that may have been my own, whether it is to answer questions, or, to help with Baraqiel-gege at all - I am more than happy to do so.
[It's surprising, but not unwelcome! Alisaie squeezes his hand back.]
I would like to know more, but not this day. [Taf, already understanding, is climbing to his usual perch on her shoulders, where he's been most of the week.] Right now, I think it best I find the others and ask if Baraqiel gave them anything. If not... we will have to find a way back. We cannot simply abandon him.

Was it Baraqiel we met? Please. I need to know.

I promise, I shan't tell a soul. Not even my brother. I understand well having someone you want to protect.
