[beneficiary]

Are there times in this place where people have returned home?

[kobes]

[Oh. Oh, dear.]

There are, yes. It seems sometimes whatever force it is that's kept us here suddenly just lets us go. We don't know why.

Who was it?

[beneficiary]

I did not say it involved a person, do not be so hasty. It is only that I have not been told of such things in their entirety.

Now answer carefully. How can you tell a person has left this place?

[kobes]

[He doesn't believe that for an instant, but sure.]

They're no longer here and their phone is inaccessible. Often their room will be cleared out as well.

[beneficiary]

Inaccessible how? Is their name removed?

( And, well, since Aemond says it's okay to trust this one.... )

My sister has been missing since not long past.

[kobes]

Their messages bounce back, or go undelivered.

Oh.
Would you like me to check for her?

[beneficiary]

That is good information, I shall let my brother know.

We will not say no to assistance, there are dangerous people here that would not think twice about harming our sister.

[kobes]

I haven't met her, so it'll be a little tricky. I can start with checking on those
Dangerous people. And seeing if she's there.

[A weighty pause.]

Daemon's alone. Your mother and Aemond haven't seen her?

[beneficiary]

We have not seen her and cannot find her. Your assistance will not go unrewarded, I shall inform Aemond of your details.

( It's about as close as a thank you anyone will get. Old habits die hard, even in new places. )

[kobes]

You're welcome. [He knows what you meant, Aegon, don't worry.

Then, after a beat:] I'm sorry. I know she's important to you.

[beneficiary]

( No comment. )

We will either find her, or we will find what is responsible and should that be a person then we can all guarantee another will go missing before the day has ended.

[kobes]

[Koby momentarily debates the merits of cautioning against murder and wisely decides to Not.]

I'll keep my eye out as well. I think perhaps it might just be the house, though, unfortunately.
