[ There's a long pause. It's either Jason or Jason had handed it off. ...But Dick remembers something Jason said before--before everything. He'd said he kept coming across these, which means... It was probably Jason. He doesn't say anything like that, though, and just sighs, pressing his hands to his face for a moment before flinching back at the burst of pain it causes. Good going, Grayson. ]

Sorry. Don't know what I can do to properly apologize but just--let me know. Whatever it takes.

[brainiest]

[ Hermione breathes out, running her fingers over the compass before she replies. ]

It's okay, Dick. Really. It's not your fault.

[dicktionary]

[ He laughs sharply, grimacing when it rakes his sore throat, and is thankful the locket doesn't try to transcribe the sound. ]

Kinda is. Still sorry. Didn't mean to lose it.

[brainiest]

Dick?

You're forgiven.

[dicktionary]

Thanks, Hermione.

[ He has to bite back the urge to apologize again, and is thankful the lockets are sensitive enough that the low sound is audible. ]

[brainiest]

I'm going to wait until I've figured out what's going on with this man before I make more, though.

[dicktionary]

[ He doesn't know what to say to that. He wonders where the other one Jason got came from, if it was from another Seelie. ...Probably was. ]

Not his fault. I was, uh. I-- Scouting. There.

[ He can hear how the word sticks in his throat, and the locket's punctuation makes it clear. But he also remembers, thankfully, about the monarch's monitoring abilities. If he was talking to her in person, he thinks... He probably would've admitted his desperate attempt to find Jason for what it was. ]

[brainiest]

Scouting.

[ She breathes out, shaking her head, before she replies. ]

Either way, he was an Unseelie that stole one of my compasses. I'm not letting him get away with it.

[dicktionary]

[ There's apprehension heavy in his voice, but none of it comes through via text. Hopefully. ]

What are you gonna do?

[brainiest]

Right now? I'm not entirely sure.

[dicktionary]

Okay...

[ There's much he wishes to say, but doesn't want to voice across the lockets. He doesn't think don't hurt him will go down well at all. Instead, Dick changes the subject. ]

...Have you been okay? Sorry I didn't call earlier. I thought... I didn't want to disturb you, if you were busy.

[brainiest]

I'm fine, really, I promise. I fell asleep - enchanted - for a couple of weeks. I'm picking up the pieces of work left behind after that, so I'm keeping busy.

[dicktionary]

Enchanted sleep for a few weeks?

[ Is that why she didn't reply to him? ]

Like... Like Merida? Nico said it happened before to him too...

[brainiest]

That's right. I'm not sure what causes it, but it does happen - and we tend to wake up quickly enough. The last time I slept like this was a spell rather than something I didn't do, so I'm a little used to it.

[dicktionary]

I'll bet. I'm glad you're okay, though.

[ He'd initially called to ask her about Treun but right now... He doesn't think he has the right to. ]

[brainiest]

Me too. I'm glad I didn't sleep for longer - can you imagine the paperwork?

[ Haha isn't she hilarious. ]

[dicktionary]

You know what they say: with great power comes great paperwork.

[brainiest]

That's something I wasn't prepared for, but I'm good at it now.

Are you going to tell me why you needed my help before?

[dicktionary]

Oh, uh. Yeah. I was wondering what you knew about Treun...

[brainiest]

Depends on what part. I've set up justice there, I helped manage and build the road, as well as protect it, and recently I've heard some awful things so I've asked someone to go in and help.

[dicktionary]

The governor, specifically.

[brainiest]

The one that was assassinated? I don't know much about him, really.

[dicktionary]

He was assassinated? Who lives in his house now?

[brainiest]

That's a good question, actually. I know that he adopted a shardholder from the Seelie court into the Fortuna family, but I'm not entirely sure if she's still part of the Drabwurld.

[dicktionary]

I think I need to learn more about the families... What happened there? I flew from the Shipyard Ring to Leathann when I went south, so I didn't realize...
