Ben isn't as close as some to Ziggy's family, but nevertheless he thinks of himself as a family friend and he is concerned for his friend's well-being. He's startled when he receives the message, and processes it so quickly that he's not even in his winter clothes. The animals are startled, Morrigan flying to her familiar perch on his shoulder.

So he PINpoints his way over from his home as quickly as possible, Morrigan accompanying him. He's familiar with death - it's been his companion long enough - and while he's not used to offering comfort he's going to screw his courage to the sticking place and try.

"What's going on? I got the message, and I can feel what's going on from here. Is Ziggy safe?"
