[Knowing dragging Rey home by himself after this mess is more than he can reasonably handle, Nick gives Firo a call. What he also needs is someone to keep an eye on Rey until she wakes up -- he wants to see if he can catch up with the other girl, keep a watch on her until this whole thing blows over. Better that than letting her come back for round two while Rey is out like a light.

And while he and Firo might not always get along, he knows there's one thing they can agree on: Rey's safety. She's family.]

If you've got a minute, I need a hand with something.

[foundafamily]

[A call from Nick? Firo's first thought is that something horrible has happened to Rey, so it's almost a relief when he hears Nick simply saying that he needs help.

Of course Firo's going to be suspicious, but it's better than hearing that she got herself in trouble, right?

His response is slow and guarded.]

For what?

[synthedick]

It's Rey.

[Spoiler: she got herself in trouble.]

She's knocked out at the moment. I need help dragging her home. I'll explain when you get here.

[foundafamily]

Knocked out?

[Jesus, Rey, what the hell. At least she's not dead.

Firo's speech speeds up, and the sounds of him rushing for the door may be picked up by the phone.]

Uh, yeah, I'll be right there. Where're you?

[synthedick]

[A second later, there's a blip from Firo's phone with the location.]

And if happen to pass by a woman with a stab wound in her shoulder on your way over, let me know.

[foundafamily]

Sounds like you guys've been having a hell of a time.

Is that the person who knocked her out?

[Should he be asking that question at a time like this, when his breathing is already taxed from running over? Well, it does affect how likely he is to actually care about this wounded person.]

[synthedick]

[A hell of a time is one way to describe it.]

No, that'd be me. The two of them were fighting, and the fact that she was holding her own against a furious Rey by the time I got here says she's not just some regular human.

[As most aren't in the city, it seems. There were other clues, but that's good enough for this explanation.]

Rey was the one I could reach at the time, and the other woman took off before I could get to her. Rey had her reasons for this brawl, but I wasn't about to stand by and let her become some tool for Rage because some self-serving brat goaded her into a fight.

[Especially when said brat clearly wanted to make things easier for the gods to 'help them out.' He might be just a hair mad at all parties involved, but especially Rosie.]

[foundafamily]

You?

[That's about the exact opposite of what he expected to hear. With his kneejerk reaction being getting kind of ticked off, he only half-hears Nick's explanation. He knows he's getting one, but registering its details is another thing entirely--and sometimes Firo's brain just isn't up to that. He has to worry about the practical first.

At least he now knows that he's sure as hell not stopping to help that stabbed person.]

Whatever. I'll be there in a few minutes. That all?

[synthedick]

[Nick hears the shift in tone, but he doesn't have the patience to argue right now. Hell, even if he'd been 100% in the right, Firo would probably have umbrage.]

For now. Thanks.
