Helmut's return was, in a word, loud.
The amount of blankets she had in her arms limited her vision enough to make her stumble around, which made her already heavy foot falls even more prominent. The ghoul stomped her way back to the main area as fast as she could, and when she was close to the beginning of the fort she dropped the blankets -
Xavier was no where to be found.
"...Xavier?" The ghoul squeaked as she curled into herself, squishing her tiny hands together nervously. Did he...did he get eaten? Is that why he wasn't there? Did he leave her, maybe? Changed his mind about being her friend? "Wh-where'd you---" She sniffled once, and then again, as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Xavieeeerrrrr~" She whined, lamenting mournfully.

He didn't hear her at first, but he most definitely heard her the second time, Helmut sounding as though she was on the verge of tears. Xavier scrambled to get out of the fort, nearly knocking over every single pillow in the process, and wound up crawling on his hands and knees towards her, his hood still flopped over his face.
"I'm - I'm here!" he said quickly, and fumbled to move his hood, getting it tangled in his feathery hair. "I'm here, I'm here, I'm - I'm here."
Then he promptly tripped over a pillow and fell flat on his face.

Suddenly, Xavier was there, appearing from the pillows and knocking them over like a clumsy godzilla. It was a relief to see him, both because his presence told her that the other creature didn't come back to eat them but also because it meant that, on some level, he was still going to be his friend. The worry fled, and with it went her tears.
She let out a small giggle as he tripped and fell on his face, and like any good friend she let that happen first, before she even tried to walk towards him. Even then, she paused long enough to grab one of the blankets she had brought over. Then, like a good friend, she opened the blanket fully...and threw it over him, letting it cover as much of her tall friend as possible.
"I got the blankets!" She cheered quietly, as if that weren't already apparent.
