No. I waited for her, but she never came back to the room. I was worried, but she is free to do as she likes, not be in a room with me. I don't think any of us expected something like this to happen.
I ran into her earlier, though, when I went looking for her.
... she hadn't made it back to her room by that late at night? Ah, she's so free-spirited now....
[ - though compared to the last time they talked about yona, there's... something different in soo-won's voice. before he kept his words level, neutral. now there's almost something fondly exasperated lingering in his tone.
anyway.]
Mm, as long as she's safe that's fine. It would likely frustrate her more if you followed her about, even with protective intentions.
She claims to have been practicing her bow. She didn't expect us to fall asleep, so she was out late. [His sigh is quiet, like a really old dad having to wrangle children.] I only asked that she would inform me of her whereabouts if it is to happen again.
Mm - then that's all I wish to know. And whatever it is that you decide, I'd like confirmation of what it is.
[so even if blanca turns down the notion - soo-won would like to know.
he'd rather have a very clear awareness of who he can or cannot completely trust, no matter how much he likes them personally. his kettle whistles and he goes to collect the water]
Regardless - waiting for instruction on how to collect nova, and wasting our time between assignments, is now even less of an option than it was before.
[ . . . ah, that pulls a slightly more amused look from his gaze.]
As you know, I'm a person often working with multiple interests working at once.
I hardly intend on asking you to do anything you're against doing - it'd be nice if you had a job you halfway enjoyed for once, even if only in pockets, with other items based on necessity. [given that the terms of this place has changed, and soo-won can't promise eternally peaceful employment
but]
I am simply someone currently in need of a right hand.
[when he lost hak, he gained joo-doh. now this place has taken both of his advisors from him, and he has to work from scratch. if everything remained peaceful, he wouldn't have seen a need to rebuild.

a plushie that looks like someone. it's cute and smarmy.
he tucks plush hak back into his hood]
I'm fine.
And you?
no subject
Disappointed, but all right. This is... not exactly rare where I'm from, though I did not hope for it to happen here. Not to a young girl especially.
no subject
It best not be the beginning of a trend.
[there are a number of sweet young girls here. in fact - ]
Were you with Yona last night?
no subject
No. I waited for her, but she never came back to the room. I was worried, but she is free to do as she likes, not be in a room with me. I don't think any of us expected something like this to happen.

[yeah, he buys it entirely]
Mm. Alright.

Have you taken my proposal any more into consideration, Blanca?

[He is a professional "businessman," and it would be in bad taste to him, he thinks, if he didn't do that much at least.]
Are you planning on jumping head-first into finding your way out, Mister Won?
no subject
[the phrasing of "your way" sits incorrectly with him - that's not the type of person that he is.]
I'm planning on finding the true nature of this place and deciphering the steps that need to be taken, based on the information that we receive.
With ideally as little suffering as possible.
no subject
[He isn't trying to discourage Soo-Won. They're on the same side in this regard; Blanca would like to do this as well.]
Are you really trying to hire me to watch Miss Yona, or are you trying to hire me to help you?

so much for that.]

I will give you my answer the day after tomorrow. Once we see how our keepers handle something like this.
