[Things are moving back in Rolante, and Hawk's taking as much advantage of it as he can. The problem is, while the Amazon warriors have certainly managed to stir up a fuss all through the castle, they haven't actually made it to where Hawk is, or was, at this point. Which is a mixed blessing, since he's not sure he wants to be captured by anyone else- but on the other hand he's been dealing with rooms of enemies alone, and he's not exactly in prime state to be taking on two Armour Knights at once right now.

He staggers when he appears on the Plane, one arm out for balance, the other held close in, bleeding, and finds the wall of the theatre. Hats pats it a couple of times, and, reassured nothing is about to leap at him, turns and slides down against him. He… may be leaving some marks on the wall, but nothing that can't hopefully be wiped off later with a little work.]

…so that does work. Good.

[He leans back against the wall, letting out a sigh and relaxing. He should really get bandages, but… he's not sure he's up to moving right now. Soon.]

Ahah… well, it was sneaking past as many of them as I could, but… clearly that hasn't worked out too well. So now… [he moves carefully to scratch his nose, and frowns] I'll have to change it. I can't go in head first, that's… really asking for too much trouble. Ahh…

[she's just going to assume that means he doesn't really have a plan. since she's definitely not going to let him run back in there without one, she pauses in her work, looking up at him]

Look, you've made it to the Plane. That means, if you need any people or items to 'elp you , this is your chance. So what are you gonna need?

[…more or less. Hawk leans his head back again, thinking.]

Ideally? Backup, healing items, and armour. I'd be happy enough with one of those, though.

[she makes a face at that list. but after a second's hesitation, she says:] I could give you backup. What sort of weapon would I need?

[he makes an awkward smile and shrugs in response to her face, then looks thoughtful.] The monsters in the castle… most of them use bladed weapons. What are you used to?

[she sighs--she figured it'd be something like that] One-on-one with someone with a knife at best. [and by that she means disabling them with a baton or spray] It's not my division. How many do you think you'll need to take on to get out?

Your division? [but it's not exactly the time for that, is it.]

Well… it looked like there were at least three enemies in the next room, and there's probably more on the way down… [He tilts his head, considering.] If it's too much, though, I couldn't ask you to take it on.

Ah, my job. Other people specialise in firearms.

[she purses her lips, frowning. that's definitely more than she could handle. she considers for a moment] Well, I could at least get you a ballistic vest. Probably not the armour you're thinking of, but it could help. And otherwise, we'll just 'ave to find somebody prepared for that sort of combat to go back with you.

[her tone is decisive. even if she can't help personally, she's not letting him off the hook in a situation like that]

I see. [well, not entirely, as far as firearms are concerned, but that's all right for now.]

Better than nothing! Are you sure that would be alright?

[He nods with a smile, arms folding over his midsection.] I'm sure there'll be someone like that.

[she nods] Just see if you can get it back to me once you're done. [because checking out the equipment is no problem, but it's easiest if she can return it. she'll just have to work out some way to deal with any questions about damage--but she's confident she can handle that when she gets there]

Want me to pass on the word?

I'll do my best. [mini-salute]

Sure. Thanks for doing all this, Menzies.

Don't mention it. [she shrugs] Who knows, I might need a favour one of these days.

Wait 'ere--it'll take me a few to get a vest. [she drops from the Plane. about ten minutes later, she returns with a police ballistic vest, offering it to him] Just don't go back until you've got somebody to go with you. Got it?

I'll do what I can to help, in that case.

[He pushes himself up to accept it, nodding.] Got it. I'll try to get this back to you in good condition.

[she nods, accepting that offer of a favour. she'll keep it in mind]

Good luck. [she gives him another nod, trusting him to handle this with at least some caution from this point]

Thanks. [he'll do his best!]
