[div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]Gilbert felt a smile on his face upon seeing Andor, relief washing over him. Finally, someone was here! The question reached his head, and he thought for a moment. Okay? He didn't hesitate to give the answer the other wanted to hear. "Yes, I'm fine." The words were spoken bluntly, though there was an undeniable pain throughout his entire body contradicting what he showed or said. His legs, his hand, his head, they all hurt. He lifted his head as Andor spoke once more.

What happened? The idea of answering made him anxious, and the answer was uncomfortable. Thankfully, the other had yet to force an answer from him. He didn't exactly want to talk about these past experiences. His brows furrowed a little as he followed behind, the smile he had cut off by concern and fear. A... What? He looked up, quizzical in looks. "What's a piggyback ride?" Gilbert inquired. He'd had one a few times, but Gilbert had never actually known what they were called, and therefore stared in confusion as the man bent a little. What the hell? Gilbert somewhat recognized the gesture, but not nearly enough.

He instead stood near, warm coat feeling like it wasn't warm enough as he finally spoke up his concerns. "Is Johannes and Greer alive? Has there been a really weird man around at all, he has a beard, Scottish-Irish accent - has there been fires? Has The Badlands been around at all? I want to - I need to see Johannes and Greer." Gilbert began to spill his mind out, and he shook a little at a thought. Not just with fear, but also anger. "Nobody's died, have they?" Gilbert asked, tone bitter and suggesting an anger if they had. "I want to see Greer and Joh right now." His words became a demand, instantaneously forgetting his hunger as he only worried about those close to him instead.

[div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]tw for injuries (particularly to that of a child), thoughts about people dying

The traveling had been exhausting. His feet felt pain with each step, and he couldn't shake the nagging fear he hadn't done enough to prevent his bullet wound from infection. His lips were cracked open with dehydration, and he had eaten most the food on his journey here. Yet, he found himself blocking it all out. He found himself thrilled to get home. There'd be food. Fresh food. Fresh, and food in general, had become a treat in The Badlands. He usually had to dig in dumpsters, and when Kit got captured, he was left with the moldy bread people threw out to the rats.

Only once had Gilbert prepared food, a goose that attacked him and died in result. He had been somewhat confused, but he still had the head as a trophy. The rest of it was cooked over a bonfire, probably a bit burnt, but it tasted far better than peaches covered in garbage. But the mere idea of eating Greer's food again, or even Johannes, the ache in his stomach seemed more powerful than ever. But what if Sheogorath hurt them? His uninjured fingers balled tighter around his baseball bat.

In the snow, the nipping cold was harsher than usual against his freshly bashed up face, though it looked like he hadn't left haphazardly with bleeding or dirty wounds. Gilbert was acquiring new skills, but he always knew the basics thanks to his sister. As he stepped forward, his gentle brown eyes when he caught sight of trees. Snow already was clumped around his tennis shoes, quite cold actually, but he made a dash to it, just as speedy as ever, maybe even more with him having to be on the run constantly again, and his feet were traveling towards where he was confident the porch was.

His home! His home. It wasn't burned to the ground like Sheogorath suggested. He could only bring himself to tear up though, as other thoughts came in. What if he wasn't welcome back? What if Greer and Johannes died? His breath felt heavy, his entire body did really, and he could only hope he would be home in time before The Badlands had any bright ideas.

Everything seemed to be more or less in order and he was going for his daily snow jog (something to keep him in shape even if he hated it with a burning passion). Grey eyes surveyed the white landscape as he returned to the lodge, his eyes lighting on the small figure of a familiar child in front of him. It was, in fact a figure he had thought never to see again. Breaking into a quick run he the boy in just a few moments, though it seemed like forever. "Gilbert?" His voice was almost breathless as he looked at the figure, not sure if it was Gilbert, but it had to be. It looked like him... oh god, the kid was okay. He would never have forgiven himself for not finding the boy had something terrible happened to him. Though, for all he knew something terrible could have happened to the kid and he wouldn't know.

He licked his lips, his eyes shining with the joy that came from finding the young man in the snow, seemingly unscathed. "Are you okay?" He was out of breath as he asked this, resting his hands on his knees, bent over as he wheezed from his overexertion. It was so amazing that Gilbert was here, in Flintlock territory, not at all far from the lodge, almost as though he never left, though the baseball bat was certainly a new addition, and he wondered at it. There would be time enough to ask questions later however. Right now he needed to get the boy inside and a hot cup of soup into him.

"What happen-" He cut himself off, there would be time to ask questions later, there would. "Come on, let's get you inside!" He was stumbling over his words as he straightened his back and stood up. His hair falling around his face, framing his features. The man smiled his chapped lips turning up at the corners, and his teeth showing as he grinned. It was so good to see the child, so good to see the boy alive. He wanted to talk, speak so much, but instead he slowly bent his steps towards the lodge. "Do you need a piggyback ride?" God what did he think Gilbert was, a toddler?
