[Giles snaps his head up to stare at Helios, more than a little aghast and clearly not entirely believing what he's just heard.

Use Helios as a vessel? Use Helios as a vessel?

...he did just get permission. But, even so, Giles vehemently shakes his head.] S-Stop talking nonsense, Helios, for god's sake. I, I don't even know if I can possess anyone, like this. Besides, even if I could, what, what good would it do either of us?

[A great deal of good for Giles' sanity and mental health, but he shoves that thought aside. And he forces himself with a visible effort to calm down.]

Before you go about attempting to violate the laws of nature, Helios, we, we should at least find you a place to stay. A-And something to eat.

[And, for a moment, Helios might feel a curious sensation, like someone stepping in behind him, like a second shadow coming to rest over the top of his own, like someone looking over his shoulder. Not an uncomfortable or invasive presence. Just an evident one, as Giles attaches himself to the other man like he found himself accidentally attached, for a while, to Sif.]

...all the same...th-thank you, Helios.
