[wolfchild]

Looking for my brother.
are you well?

[the_other_eight]

[the_other_eight]

[Oh god that makes it even harder for her to tell her.]

Is anyone helping you look?

[wolfchild]

[the_other_eight]

[Give her a moment while she debates if she REALLY should tell Arya about Tony over the network. She, really doesn't seem to have a choice.]

It's about Tony. Arya, he's gone.

[ she doesn't answer. his room(s) are on the way to hers ( and continue after hers; she thought it stupid at first, she thought him stupid at first. ) she can see for herself. when she finds them empty, she will steal a few things, small, easily missed, easily added to her treasures. ]
