Welcome to Gaia! ::

He had been out collecting energy, just trying to stay on top of things. So when he was summoned, he stood stunned for a moment. That was suddenly a new feeling... Wasn't sure how he felt about that one.

He blinked as his arms were suddenly filled with Gismodine as the taller man cried into his shoulder. Talk about deja vu. " Hey! Hey.. Shh." Dresda whispered, wrapping his arms around the General and rubbing his back. "Deep breathe. It's okay, you'll be okay." He let them sink to the ground, not trusting Gismo's legs to keep himself up, or his own to keep the pair of them standing. Dresda waited a couple moments, letting Gismo just cry before gently prying him back and wiping the taller man's face gently with his sleeve. "What's wrong?" Dresda asked softly.

Dresda froze as the words were spoken. His gaze flickered down to the starseed between them and he just stared at it for a long moment before glancing at Gismodine. Gently, he closed Gismo's hand back around the seed before holding it against his chest, rubbing his thumb against the General's knuckles. "I... I know you didn't mean to. Things like this... happen. They happen in our line of work.' They knew that. Understanded that.

...Didn't they?

"Look at me." The corrupt said softly, cupping Gismodine's cheek with his free hand. "You are not a murderer. You are anything but. You are my beautiful, sweet, sweet boy. You are not a murderer. Do you hear me?" Dresda leaned forward, kissing Gismodine's forehead softly before brushing away his tears. "We will make this right... Somehow." He would not leave Gismo to face this alone.

"You said it yourself. You panicked. You would not have left otherwise. I know you would have fixed things, made them right." Dresda collected Gismo in his arms, holding him tightly. "I know, I know. You were in a shitty situation, and things happened." Dresda's heart ached for Gismo, unsure how to truly help him. At the moment there was not much he could do, other than let Gismo cry, and to be there for him.

"Did... Do you know her name?" Dresda asked tentatively. "Maybe we can find a friend of hers to return it." It wasn't much, but it was a start. Even... Even if it was too late, they could at least return it. "...I can return it for you, if you do not want to face them." The senshi offered quietly. Dresda kissed the top of Gismo's head. "...Do you want to go home? We can go to mine if you want. My sister is working late tonight so we should be able to avoid her." Dresda rubbed small circles into Gismo's shoulders and back, occasionally stopping to brush tears away. "Tell me how to help you, Love. I will do whatever you ask me."

"Okay. We.. We can put feelers out." Someone would have to know something. Dresda gave Gismo a squeeze, placing a kiss to Gismo's head. "Alright. Come on." He said softly, urging the General to stand. Dresda offered offered Gismo both his hands as an incentive. "Let's go home..." Gismo could just shut off for bit and Dresda would be there, for whatever he needed. "We'll fix this." He promised.
