As soon as Nick walked into the door he started hollering out Julia's name. He then led Philip to the stairway listening to see if there were any screams back.
 
Her grin was wobbly.  She couldn't help it.  The thought of seeing the sephlicurs, of what had happened the last time -- she needed him but wasn't going to insist he focus on her when she wasn't the only one upset.
 
"I'm right here." she called down to him, on the stairs and voice quiet - a sure sign she was upset but trying her damndest to look calm.  She wondered if he would mind her practically throwing herself into his arms.  She nodded once at Philip, only them remembering the scrape on her head and what she must look like.
 
But then again, right now she didn't care.  She just wanted Nick with her.
