[Korra listens, her expression only turning more serious with every second.]

So she's not a fan of CERES. [Briefly, Korra wonders who the woman was.] What happened when you woke up?

[particularity]

I couldn't see out of my eye... and I felt sick for a while. Nauseous.

[Hinata frowns and touches his fingertips over the eye he couldn't see out of.]

[braavado]

Is it...still like that?

[Hesitantly, if only because he's a stranger, Korra reaches out and lightly touches his arm.]

We don't have to talk about this if it's still too much.

[She wants the information, badly, of course. But she doesn't want to make him feel awful either.]

[particularity]

[Hinata blinks. And he looks at her face, and a smile breaks over his own.]

No. It's fine now. It came back, bit by bit, until I could see again.

I won't say I didn't panic at the time... but I'm good to talk about it now.

[braavado]

[She watches him carefully, waiting for him to change his mind. When he doesn't, she nods. She doesn't know why he's smiling at her like that, but if he's sure...]

When you woke up again, was the woman in the cage still there?

[particularity]

I dunno. [Hinata frowns.] When we woke up... we were back in our apartments.

Komaeda--er, the guy I live with--said that the androids just came in and put me in my bed. CERES's robots, that is.

[braavado]

And I get the feeling we aren't getting back in that building so easily.

[Korra sighs.]

It's weird, though. Why would your guide just leave you there if they were trying to hide something?

[particularity]

[Hinata shakes his head. That's for sure. CERES guards that building well.]

...Someone else I know was wondering the same thing. And it wasn't just us, it seems like it happened to a lot of the groups.

That's suspicious too.

[braavado]

[Definitely suspicious. Korra can think of one reason immediately, and it's slightly optimistic.]

Do you think someone in CERES wanted the tour groups to find things?

[particularity]

Aa, I don't think that's impossible.

[Hinata nods-- the thought's occurred to him before, too.]

[braavado]

[She looks at him intently, wondering if he's figured out another angle to it all.]

What do you think happened, then?

[particularity]

I... most of my thoughts are just guesses. There are all kinds of things that it could be. But I think that someone might've wanted the information we found out on the tours.

And that, maybe, they had some part in it.

[He pauses a moment.] A little while after we woke up, after the tours and after we'd been brought home, we all got a message on our devices here. It thanked us... so I'm suspicious of that.

[braavado]

And you haven't gotten any more messages since then?

[Whoever sent it sounds pretty elusive, though Korra supposes an elusive ally is better than none at all.]

[particularity]

No, not since then...

[Hinata shakes his head. It's always only bits and pieces. Like Haven, Cerealia never gives too much, never allows them to find too much.]

[braavado]

[She sighs. Exactly what she was afraid of.]

And we have no idea who they are. I guess all we can do is wait and see if they send you guys anything else.

[Shaking off the disappointment, Korra gives him a smile that's small and tired.]

Thanks for sharing all this with me. It helps.

[particularity]

[Hinata nods, expression softening.]

Yeah, no problem. I think the more informed we are, the better.

[Better than not knowing a thing!]
