And if someone else maybe went to them and asked questions on their own without hinting that it's for you? Would they still refuse to answer? [But he's already thinking.]
I can start asking around...start going out again, maybe, and try to talk to some of the people in the nearby settlements and see if they can give me some ideas where to look.
He doesn't know any more than I do on the subject - through him I was made aware of her existence at all. But what you can do, again, I'd appreciate it. Even if you find nothing, it will matter significantly that you made the attempt, and it will tell me something about her.
Jason kinda got mad when I asked him last month...but that was a month ago? So maybe it might not be a bad idea to ask again and I mean it's YOU so he might trust you more than he trusts Clarke? Except he likes Clarke more than he likes you. But I like both of you and I haven't left without his permission for, like, two months.
[ And if he can, how much that would cost him. Even in text, Hiro's probably getting the impression that Billy doesn't want these pictures out over the network. ]
...Loki's tracking me anyway. And...you can teleport us in and out, right? And Jason let me go to Redgate with Clarke and by myself for my quest so...maybe we can go and I'll just ask for forgiveness later?
[Because it's also clear that he wants to do the thing, even if Jason Todd won't let him do the thing.]
[He could say a few things about the Barrel and what-have-you, but he's pausing because it's apparent that the boat is a big deal.]
You think he's somebody from the future you just haven't met yet? They bring us here at a bunch of random times. [He's pretty sure he knows the answer, but he's waiting for Xion to continue before he starts asking the real questions.]
Maybe? I don't- [She cuts herself off, making a frustrated noise] I don't think he knows me, not exactly, but... I feel like I know him. Or that I should? [She sighs] Nothing really makes sense.
[The whole thing was just one big confusing mess]
He's important. I know that much.
[Just... don't ask her how she knows. Or she'll get into another string of confused and frustrated noises.]

You're hilarious. [The response is dry, but he's not mad. Instead, he just shakes his head even if Yuri can't see it.] Though I won't say no to pastries from this really good bakery next to the university just outside. You're still there, Yuri? Or did you travel somewhere else?
[There's a deep breath followed by a very slow nod.] Okay. I'll do my best to find anything I can about her. I'll ask anybody who might know.
[Who knows? Maybe he can ask Morla since he already has other things to ask her. Or he can ask some of the natives if he plays his cards right.] I'll try to have some information for you whenever you and Jason get back.
Redgate's a hell lot nicer than Caer Scima, but I'm not the bookish type. That's more up your alley. [He didn't mind nosing around and chatting with citizens. But with the silver sickness cured, he's turning his sights back to what few leads he does have. And that means...]
I'm on my way to check out the situation in Leathann.
You say that like unusual things don't happen here all the time. [But he gets what she means.] I can already think of one or two people I can ask. Give me a few weeks and I should have some kind of answer.
[He's just going to ignore that because wow excuse you, Yuri, books are half the reason his stupid ass is still alive. Probably. But his interests pique again.] Leathann's a good area to check just because of the trades down there. Lots of merchants, lots of action going on there...and the Void and everything. I haven't been down there since last summer.
How long are you planning on being out there anyway?
What did he say to you? How did you find him and realize he was from your worlds anyway? People don't usually wander around with giant signs saying that kind of thing. And what makes him so important anyway?
I will. And when we get back from Mair, I'll contact you regardless - just to let you know we survived and an accounting of how many injuries Jason has.
[ignoring the fact that she's more likely to gain injuries than him. sometimes true self-preservation was a foreign concept.]
