[As soon as he's standing Henry twists back round to look down over the edge, bracing one foot at the end of the roof and leaning forward. For a brief moment, he wobbles somewhat precariously, a tad overbalanced.

He squints, as if to make sure that yes, that's Ignis below, before he calls back.]

I have lost her! Forgive me!

[claritatis]

Oh, by the Six. [Ignis mutters to himself, pushing a hand through his hair and looking up at Henry with an expression for which 'exasperated' is not a strong enough word.]

Would you come down here?

[hotspurred]

[Henry frowns and steps back, setting his hands on his hips.]

She is not down there.

[He huffs, before slowly turning on the spot, looking out across the rooftops for signs of life.]

[claritatis]

For--! [Ignis cuts himself off with a sharp hiss and his tongue pressed lightly against the back of his teeth.]

Henry, come down here this instant. I left Kate in bed to come looking for you, and I'm in no mood for this bloody nonsense.
