You're family. I worry. I cannot help worrying. Regardless of anything else, I do appreciate the risk you're taking for the sake of investigating this.
[That lifeline still potentially exists, though. It just goes through Nathan first now. As long as he knows when something goes wrong, Lazarus would be Nathan's first call.]
[Did you have to say the F word Nathan now he's touched and starting to second guess this idea. He feels bad, doesn't want to leave them behind even though he's already done it once but... this feels important.]
It'll be alright. I've still got you guys, right?
So far they haven't said anything other than wanting to keep in touch. But if things start getting hair, I'll let you know.
Yeah? Well if he was a big time investigator I guess it makes sense that sort of thing would happen.
[Still, he feels a little proud to be the source of an echo. Look at him, being relevant.]
He'll have to find out eventually just... not right now. Alright? I hadn't really planned on letting anyone know. I want a better idea of what my game plan is before everyone comes storming down my throat.
[You helped trigger an Echo the day the both of you met, Tony. Though of course you don't know your part in that and it had been a less pleasant one besides.]
Alright. I will not discuss it with him before you do. [Much as he dislikes it, he'll comply.] I am glad you at least told me.

Thank you.
[And another pause before:]
Have you told Richard about this?

Date: 2015-10-03 10:31 pm (UTC)[Oh. Yes. Hm.]
I haven't told anyone other than you.
[That would be a no.]

Are you going to? He checks how I'm doing sometimes, and I need to know if this is okay to talk about.
[Implying to you that yes, at least for now, he's going to keep this quiet.]

Date: 2015-10-04 01:29 am (UTC)Thanks. Well, you did ask, couldn't really bring myself to lie to you.
[He knows Richard isn't going to like it, he also can't just sit around and do nothing. Not his style.]
