[While Apollo had attended the tower meeting, mostly only to listen in on what information everyone else had, he hadn't bothered to show up to see the prefects open the tower. All their talk of monsters made him even more reluctant to get in the way.

But now... the weird keening noises that echoed outside, the pentagram in the sky, and the sounds of battle coming from the lake convince him that this is a lot more serious than he had anticipated. Instead of doing the smart thing and staying inside, Apollo takes off running out of the dorms and towards the lake shore, as fast as his legs can carry him.

He stumbles and nearly trips when he sees the gigantic tortoise that everyone else is fighting. Okay, now he's having some second thoughts about rushing over to help.]

[Merlin is also having some second thoughts, but he's not a coward and even though he isn't as useful without his magic he can still fight.] Are you alright?

[notabunnylawyer]

Am I alright? What about them?!

[Apollo sweeps an arm towards the fighting, then he pauses and watches for a moment with a furrowed brow before he turns to the other boy, only now getting a good look at him.]

...! Is that a Player glove? Can you use me to help?!

[secretlyuseful]

Yes, I can. I promise to protect you. [Hopefully that was enough, he reached out to draw out Apollo's weapon, waiting for the nod from him that it was okay.]

[notabunnylawyer]

Yes! I accept!

[He spreads his arms wide, ready and waiting... and then has to take a step back to steady himself as Merlin grasps Truthseeker by the hilt and pulls the sword out of him. Apollo takes a moment to shake off the disorientation, then gives him a small smile,]

O-Okay, ready?
