[a text, coming about a week or so after they spoke for the first time on voyeur:]

I found some information.

[expositus]

[ they'd only talked briefly, but he'd stood out, both as someone who'd been somewhere else like this before being brought here and as someone else who'd been gathering information. it's interesting that he'd decided she was someone trustworthy after a relatively brief interaction, but then it's not his first time somewhere like this. maybe bonds need to get built quicker. ]

What about?

[aldhani]

It's about the house. There's more than just the Balfours.

[which, even if he doesn't know her particularly well, he can guess she's already concluded, in some form.]

I can show it to you.

[expositus]

I didn't think Portia or Bunny were orchestrating our inter-dimensional kidnappings.

Yes. Please.

[aldhani]

No. They don't seem like the type.

[one brief huff of quiet amusement. then:]

There's a spare kitchen below the main one, on the first floor. As far as I've been able to tell, it doesn't move. Meet me there.

[expositus]

When?

And what do you want in return, if you're sharing this with me?

[aldhani]

In an hour.

[that gives him enough time to make sure they're clear — as best he can.]

I don't want anything in return, but maybe we can keep an open line. Share information as we find it.

[that's the only way to survive a place like this. something tells him she has a sense of that.]

[expositus]

[ that sounds fair. ]

All right. Deal.

See you in an hour.
