just mania - open; barricaded in

The raid had been... pretty stressful, honestly. Even if Arvid hadn't been out in the middle of all the madness, he had been lurking by the sidelines, giving poison to all the warriors that passed. He had seen what had happened with Sojourn and Michael, and... well, that had been pretty gruesome, if he was being honest. Not so gruesome he couldn't handle it, but man Sojourn had looked crazy. Even more so than usual – not to mention the wounds that she had sustained. When she had essentially disappeared following the raid's end, Arvid had only felt even more anxiety over the whole situation. So eventually, he had decided to go and seek her out, just to see if she was alright, or if perhaps she had... well, bleeding out was certainly a possibility. When he noticed Solsken and Oleander approaching Sojourn's home, though, his heart dropped.

He quickly rushed over to them, gently attempting to push Oleander back before he too pressed at the ice. He called to Sojourn, a frown on his muzzle as he spoke, "Sojourn? Are you alright? We're all worried about you, and you need medical attention, I'm pretty sure!" Of course, unbeknownst to Arvid, Sojourn still wasn't in a very good mental state. In fact, she was in a terrible one. So, his shouting probably wouldn't be appreciated. Or, depending on how she was feeling now... it could lead to something even more dire.
