*Raises an eyebrow*
What do you mean by that?

@Valiance

Dad has a habit of, ah, making himself the target of useful experiments. I'm sure he has something you can talk to.

Oh. Well, other than the warning that was too late, there’s… Hmm, how much can I say?… There’s a person of mutual interest out there that it would be best to track down sooner than later, especially while we know where they are.

@Valiance

Would it help you if I could find something very close to dad for you to talk to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I want to know what it was, but I don’t. It would tell me how to help.

@Valiance

Er, I mean on what you want to talk about.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I wish. I really do. I was hoping to talk about some important things if he was available, but, you know…

@Valiance

Hm... do you have any details on what it was? Maybe I can help.

I don’t really want to get too comfortable. The way Zoey was talking, it sounded like she felt there was imminent danger, not danger already passed.

@Valiance

Does she have any idea of what's going on or where he is?

*Nods as the brown aura on the ground is dispelled, glancing down at it as though I had forgotten about it before walking in*
Thank you.

@Valiance

Of course! Can I get you anything to eat or drink?
*Picks up the stack and steps inside, while the few pages that the wind carried into the distance seem to be blown through just as the door closes*

*Ponders for a moment*
I think it’s worked itself in that direction, yeah.

@Valiance

*Holds the door open*
Then please, come in. I don't want to leave a friend out in the heat.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Long story. Cosmic connections of recent development, we’ll call it.

@Valiance

*Nods knowingly*
I understand. You're a friend of his?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Well I can say with confidence that I think he’s alright… In case there were any doubts anyway.

@Valiance

*Furrows my eyebrows*
How's that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Frowns*
So he’s in hiding then? I hope he’s okay.
*Mutters*
I feel like it should be obvious to us if a really horrible fate happened to him…

@Valiance

*The corners of my lips turn down*
The systems here are so convoluted, it's really hard to tell what he is or isn't doing. I at least know that the magic used to power these labs is still out there somewhere. I couldn't tell you much beyond that, though.
