[ He knows this is going to hit her hard, but Gregor can't afford to focus on that right now. All he can do is answer her in a clipped fashion. ]

I've no idea. He's taking me somewhere; I'm going along to find out.

[ That's the stupid thing. ]

[ Taking Gregor some place? She can't imagine where or why. She thought Mark—Peter had been slowly become used to them, accepting his place among his family one slowly step at a time. Something must have happened for him to slip back to the reason why Galen made him, to what he'd been trained to do. Good God, did Galen arrive here? She thought he'd contact her if that had happened. ]

You tell me the moment you know where, Gregor.

[vorbarra]

[ He's oblivious to all of these undercurrents, too preoccupied with what's going on around him. ]

I will. ... Thank you for not stopping me.

[ Exactly why he'd told her and not anyone else. ]

[keep_nothing]

Don't think you've escaped a harsh lecture when you get back, kiddo.

[ There's only the smallest wince from her as she realizes how she just said that. Kareen's presence effected them even when she wasn't looking for it. ]

[vorbarra]

[ Grimly, ] I know. But if it's him, I can't just let things stand. He deserves a chance.

[keep_nothing]

Him more than most.

[ But what the hell is he doing? ]

[vorbarra]

[ Him more than most? As her son? ]

Yes. I'll let you know.

[ A sense of his attention returning to what he's doing. ]

[keep_nothing]

[ If only it were because of that ...

She remains focused on the link even after his attention withdraws, trying to glean anything she can about his location or wtf Peter is doing with him. ]
