[ She files that information away for later, but it's not news - just confirms what she'd suspected of the man already. They'd fallen into working together and playing off one another almost seamlessly after her arrival. She already has a lot of respect for the man and how capable he seems to be. ]

That's actually one of the things I hoped to talk to you about. I take it you were also along for our recent trip to let the Factions negotiate? [ A pause, even though she's pretty sure of that answer already - she doesn't know of anyone left out of that trip, although she's also not sure how that was handled in the other factions. It certainly hadn't been optional in Thorne, anyway. ]

There was a lot of information flying around, a lot of threads to tug. Most of what I was interested in revolved around Thorne, of course, but I picked up several tidbits about Solvunn as well. And almost every single one of them seemed to revolve around Josselyn Creed.

I spoke to Wanda about her, because it was the first time I'd heard the name and I didn't have any frame of reference to where she fit into your faction's politics, as it were. She explained a little bit, enough to give me a basic idea, but I asked if she'd keep an eye on the woman and let me know if anything strange popped up about her.

Now I'm hearing she might be among those missing, which seems strange to me, because this is the first person well-known or in a position of power I've heard of disappearing. I'm not sure I believe that's a coincidence. I'd ask Wanda to poke around, but I think she might already have her hands full dealing with Matt being one of those missing. Hence me needing another pair of eyes, since I can't go to Solvunn myself.
