If there is anyone returned from a kidnapping or being threatened who does not feel safe in his or her home, speak to anyone at the Welcome Center and they will direct you to a safe place to stay until things are better.

If you wish to volunteer to house someone, you will need a reference from a trusted member of the community.

[A few minutes later, he uncovers the camera and starts a new message, spoken this time.]

Alexis Rodgers has been sent home. At least I assume as much--no one has seen her and her flat is empty. It's good. She was very homesick, and...

[A pause. There's nothing really to say after that. He doesn't sound greatly distressed, but there's definitely a certain melancholy.

He'll be at the library this afternoon, and Good Spirits tonight. Missing Dawn, mostly. He'll occasionally walk through the item shop, killing time looking for little gifts to pick up for her. At some point, he'll go see Ingrid in the clinic. In the evening, he'll pay a visit to Jack Sparrow's house on the beach. He's there to see Horatio, of course.]

[Three out of four. Giles is...kind of proud of himself, on that score.]

[...] I would need to speak to my flatmates. But this is a good idea. I'd like to help.

Good! It would be best to tell Miss Rydia at the Welcome Center, though if you'd like, I could tell her for you. We are trying to keep it off the journals where we can, to ensure no suspicious person knows where these safe houses are.

I've spoken with Rydia once or twice. I can speak with her. You're right - the less the journals are used, the better.

It is imperative that everyone is safe, and feels safe. Do your flatmates have people to vouch for them, as well?

One does - Buffy is at least passingly familiar with him, and he's helped her once or twice in the past.

The other [...a pause, as Giles thinks, before starting a new line.]

Of the ones you've listed? No, I don't think he would.

[There's a pause. What the heck.]

This is Mr. Giles, correct?

Thought your handwriting looked familiar.

Wanted to be certain.

I tried to change it. I suppose I'm not very good at it. Either way, I trust anyone you trust enough to sleep near where you sleep.

You didn't do badly. I just have an eye for this sort of thing. Used to be part of the job.

Helios Sprensonne you know, at least secondhand. The other is Frederic Chopin. And I'll vouch for the both of them.

I had moved into room two, on the ground floor, and I haven't quite moved out, yet. I can leave some supplies there until some New Feather tries to claim it.

How much room do you have to offer?

Three rooms, if you include that apartment. And I would move back in for the duration if someone did need it to hide.

Otherwise? One room.

Good. I doubt you would need more than one room at a time. At least, I hope not.

Safest if we don't. I don't think you'll have a shortage of volunteers.

Thank you, Giles.

Best of luck, Kennedy.
