[guriel]

[Guriel's been a nervous wreck for days, pacing the house on the rare occasions he's in it, scouring the city top to bottom looking desperately and fruitlessly for Ben. He's a mess right now, disheveled and strung-out on adrenaline and guilt.

It's been a bad couple days.]

[Guriel's not the only one who's had a bad couple of days. Ben barely gets the front door open and then shut behind him before he hits his knees in the entryway. The pizza at Elle's didn't really last long.] Guriel...?

[guriel]

[Guriel's in the kitchen, pacing as usual, but he stops and his head snaps up and the next moment he's wrapped around Ben, clinging for dear life and babbling.] Ben, oh my God Ben what happened where were you they took you andIcouldn'tfindyouIlookedIsweartoGodIlookedeverywheretheytookyou . . .

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Ben clings back, as much as he's able, anyway. He's still dangerously weak, and he shakes his head.] I don't know. It was dark and they didn't feed me and the cage was small and I was handcuffed and there were so many panic attacks...

Next thing I knew I was on the street. Closer to Elle's than here, made it up to her place, somehow, I don't even know. Tried to call you, but it was her phone and you rejected the call...

[guriel]

[Guriel shudders. Now is not the time to talk about his enormous hatred of Elle.] Didn't know, I didn't know how could I know, I'm sorry so sorry I was so scared I thought I thought . . .

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

Easy, I gotcha now, I'm home. [For certain values of "gotcha." He's still alarmingly weak.] And I know you never stopped looking, Guriel.

[guriel]

Never, would never ever stop, not ever, so sorry I never stopped but I couldn't find you . . .

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

Had me in a pocket that was runed tight. Dark and cold and a little tiny cage and I just... [He shakes his head. His whole body is shaking, really.] After awhile I didn't know where I was and I kept waiting for them to toss a kid in the cage with me. [Which is not something he could've told Elle.]

[guriel]

[Guriel makes a broken noise and curls himself closer around Ben, if that's possible.] Should have been there should have found you so sorry sorrysorrysorry . . .

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

Hsh, shshshh, not your fault. [Ben holds him fiercely.] I knew you were looking for me. Was the only thing that kept me going, after awhile.

How long...?

[guriel]

Three days. [Guriel chokes and buries his face in Ben's hair.] I tried, I tried . . .

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

[It felt far longer. Ben cradles his Packmate's head.] Of course you did. But I'm home now, and okay -- or will be when I've had some food and a shower. And actual sleep.

[guriel]

[Guriel shivers and his head comes up.] Look at you, you're . . . oh, those bastards, those motherfuckers I'll kill them . . .

C'mon, I'll make you something to eat, can you . . . I'll carry you, c'mon. Easy, now.
