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.

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.

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. ]

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