Not so much into Tolkien these days. Actually, never really was... unless it's "The Hobbit".

I was in the middle of... trying to track down an important associate of mine. But... this place decided to play with an old toy, I suppose.

I do like "The Hobbit" better. I should see the new movie, movies? But I've been too busy.

This place has always had impeccable timing. [He rolls his eyes.] Hopefully this won't be to big of a hiccup in your plans.

[not_a_wonder]

So much to do, so little time for ourselves. [Nessie's smile is sympathetic.]

I don't know. I think... I think Jason is missing, but no one else does.

[worth_the_cost]

Exactly. [He smiles back.]

Ah. Where I'm from there's a very very short list of people who might care or even notice, and I'm not sure... Alfred's probably your best bet for help. [Talia too, but he doesn't think that would be a safe contact to suggest.]

[not_a_wonder]

Who's Alfred?

[Nessie and Jason might be friends of a sort, but he is still a notoriously private person.]

[Jason screws up his face trying to weigh how much Nessie might know with how much he can tell her without endangering her.] Alfred Pennyworth. He... works for Bruce Wayne. I'd offer you his phone number but... multiverse

[not_a_wonder]

Oh. [beat] Oh! "Al". He's mentioned an "Al", but I never made the connection.

I... I suppose I have to. Oh, gosh, I'm going to look so out of place in Bristol...

[worth_the_cost]

Yeah Al. He'll listen to you and do what he can to help.

Just act like you belong. You've got a reason to be there.

[soft, half to herself,] Well, it can't be that much different from Beacon Hill.

[She sighs and looks back up at him.]

But that's not my biggest problem. I mean, what do I say? "I haven't seen Jason in a while and I have a bad feeling about it"? They think Jason is still around.

[worth_the_cost]

Yeah he's heard stranger things. [Jason smiles fondly.] If you really believe Jason is missing he'll help. [Jason's sure Alfred will help, even if the old man doesn't believe Nessie's story.]
