You know that's not the phrase. [Naoki at least sounds more amused than exasperated, so that's something.]

This is Naoki. Following Raidou-san's lead last jaunt, I de-infiltrated myself. I didn't want to wait to find out the answers, not when we're here and can do something about the greater problem. Hanamura's pretty obviously not here, having checked in from the walkabout. I haven't caught any sign of Chie, either.

If anyone knows, or is, a Peregrine in need of a job, send them my way. Bars don't run themselves, and gold is far more convenient for payment than bloodletting ever was.
