Okay. [ she said she wouldn't force him! so she is being good! ] But I still think you shouldn't hang out alone all the time when it's dangerous like this. We don't have to be friends for me not to want you to die, too.
Okay. [ she's brushing herself off and standing back up, appeased, except-- ] I meant to tell you... I went somewhere, yesterday. Away from here. I was in a different place for a few hours, along with Yennefer, Nagiko and... the blue haired man. I don't remember how I ended up there at all. So... be careful, okay? Things around here are unpredictable.
I'm not sure. I thought, maybe... [ she shakes her head ] But it was covered in snow, and we had to help someone there before we could get back. None of us got hurt, and none of it seemed dangerous, but...
[Hunh. Well, that's concerning, and it also kind of, fortunately, pokes a hole in his theories and concerns. (A small one, but it's there.) He straightens up a little, more focused and alert than he's been since she came in.]
[ well she didn't expect him to get this interested in it because she's a fool, but she's not objecting to him looking less. y'know. despondent. ]
We went to a chalet and met this boy, Ryuunosuke, who was accused of murder. He and everyone else was sure we came there to help him, so... we did. We investigated and found out what really happened to the victim, and then we were sent back here when we were done.
[It might be, but... he finds that hard to believe, given everything.]
I think it's more likely that whoever abducted us might be targeting those we know. [Which means the chances of Elliot being in danger have jumped up significantly, fuck.]
[It's fine, he's distracted and also gay. He doesn't say "yes", but mostly because it's obvious.]
I just don't know why else his sword would be here. He'd never part with it willingly. [He's not the only one here with someone else's possessions, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything if they're involved anyway.]
Well... I don't know if it means anything, but we came out of the dispatch office when we came back. All of our names were written in there, and Elliot's wasn't.
[ so maybe he's fine! the display lights said so! look she's trying. ]
None of the names of the people we met there were. And... they looked like they were in their own world. Ryuunosuke even said this wasn't his first time being accused of murder.
[Well, if the dude's name wasn't on the list, then Leo doesn't really think that proves anything--but he's calmed down enough from his initial panic attack that he can, at least, recognize that this is an attempt to be reassuring.]
All we can do is wait and see. [See if anything comes of this, if anyone else gets transported off to deal with someone's friends. He doesn't like it, but what other choice do they have?]
... Right. [ it's an unsatisfying answer, but it's about the only one they have, isn't it. she can't do much to convince him that his friend isn't here just based off what she feels is right, either. ughhh. ] You be careful, okay?

He dips his head down, sighing again.]
Fine. [He'll... figure something out. He doesn't know what yet, but... he'll try.]

Ryuunosuke... [He's never heard of any name like that? Hmmm.] Does anyone here know him?

... Sora thought... he sounded like a friend Iris mentioned. But I didn't get to ask her.
