"...?", she looks at him as he takes out the deck chair—before looking back at the woods, and then back to her tablet.
Look John, there's someone that's on the roof as well.

She jolts for a moment, before shakily turning to look at him. "Y-Yes...?"

Oh- then you probably know something.
You heard of a Raut or a Griffin?

"...."
That made her pause—and look straight at him.
"...W-Why do you want to know?"

Because a bunch of shadowy guys are offering me a metric fuck-tonne of money to know what happened.
I sent an email to them already, because this guy called Michael told me they were dead. But they said to check more than one source.
Also to provide some proof.

(Liman, Grant, the two of you may encounter Michael wearing a tac-vest and helmet over his fancy-as-hell uniform making careful steps in said woods)
Spelunking through a Halo Ring is something else...

"I-It is...but you should be safe with me—I think...", she said as she guided him towards where Raut's corpse is—or was, depending on its still there or it isn't.
On encountering Michael, she looked at him, then shook her head and walked past him with a greeting of "Good day."

Al right- good to know I'm being protected by a child soldier. Y'know there were viral videos to prevent shit like that from happening, y'know? People got all in a hissy over it and everything. 'Course they didn't do anything except like and reblog- which meant nothing really happened...
Because if everyone's the messenger, no-one acts on it.
Oh hi, Mike.

"Viral what?", and she looks at Michael. "W-We...were looking for Raut's body."

...Hmm.
Last I heard, that was being sorted out by Cloud.
...Though my advice is that you don't ask him about it. Guy's got enough problems with me as it is.

-Liman notices John Grant taking out a deck chair, and sitting down to get on his laptop as well-
-a very bored expression-
