[ ? She hasn't spoken to him today, at least, but she has to think for a moment about whether she's caught a glimpse of him today at all. ]

Mm... Not that I can remember.

[ She frowns; the implication of the question seems pretty clear. ]

You can't find him?

[veraltwin]

No. [She shakes her head.] I haven't seen him since yesterday. This isn't normal.

[Nanaly, by this point, will probably also know that this is unusual. The two of them can be found together at some point every day, even if it's just for a few minutes between everything else or at the end of the night. That she hasn't seen him at all today?

Something's wrong. She's convinced of it.]

[burnstrike]

[ Ah... She nods. ]

Yeah, that seems weird that he'd go someplace without telling you if it was going to take that long. When he went out to that old ship the other day, you knew that was happening?

[veraltwin]

[She shakes her head.]

Not that I would have expected him to tell me. We can-- ["each look after ourselves," is what she's about to say, but her words break as it hits her all over again. Right now, without their powers, she's not sure Alphinaud can take care of himself.

Focus. She takes a breath, then starts again.]

In normal circumstances, Alphinaud would be more than a match for anything he encountered on that ship. The two of us are accustomed to working separately when we must needs collect information, so it isn't surprising that he wouldn't mention it.

But he would have told me ere leaving if he anticipated being gone for more than a couple hours. I should have seen him this morning.

[ Another nod. She's probably lucky she's never had to rely on her spells too much, so losing access to them is just a mild inconvenience instead of a big adjustment. ]

Well... If he doesn't have the same abilities as normal, then maybe he just underestimated how much of a challenge something would be and got caught up in it? It's pretty easy to lose track of time down here when we're so far away from the sun too.

[ She doesn't want to diminish her concerns, especially since they're completely valid when they're in a strange place none of them really understand, but it's worth remembering that it isn't necessarily a worst-case scenario. ]

I know there's no way of knowing if that's the case, though, so it's natural to be worried. Do you want me to help you look for him?

[veraltwin]

I'm going to continue searching for him, but if you've something else you planned to do, I wouldn't begrudge you for attending to that instead.

All I ask is that if you see him, let me know as soon as you can.
