[ Now that Eggsy has a job (with a proper tailor, as hysterical as that seems), he only visits every other day to ensure his Mum and Daisy (and Roxy and Jamal and Ryan and Brandon) are where he left them. He normally arrives before or after his shift, still in his freshly pressed suit and borrowed tie. Unlike Athena, he walks and looks in silence. See, Eggsy's words have often failed him (or damned him, as they had when he'd found the sharpest accusations in his repertoire to pierce Harry's composure).

His time in the Marines and at Kingsman mean this isn't the first prolonged time away from home — but he'll never return to his council flat now.

As he rounds a corner, he spots a shock of red hair. Odds are it's someone he knows, innit? The personal nature of the area almost makes him turn back, not wanting to intrude. However, he soon realises that the angle is off, the ginger hair and bright attire too close to the ground — ]
Athena! [ said loudly, echoing in the metallic room, but not yet panicked. He quickens his pace, sliding to a stop before her and swiftly dropping to squat beside her. His words tumble out with more urgency. ] Oi, Athena.
[ On instinct, his hands finds her wrist, squeezing lightly and checking her pulse. ]
