week 2, tuesday evening

[Well, today certainly happened. Ris still isn't sure what all to make of it, but she's back on the train, and making her way up to the frontmost car. Which means she's got to pass by the apartment car, and...

She pauses, noticing that one of the doors is slightly cracked open. Curiosity is enough to get her to peer in as she walks by, and...

...ah. Mithos.

That's right. She really hasn't seen him after that meeting with the Conductor, has she? It's been hard to focus on any one thought with everything happening so much today, but she'd be lying if she said she weren't worried.

She stops in her tracks, then takes a breath and approaches the door. She knocks gingerly on the doorframe rather than the door itself, keeping it from opening any further.]

Mithos? May I come in?

week 2, tuesday night

[After a bit of a distraction, Ris is finally making her way toward the frontmost car of the train. It's later than she would like, by now, so she's not certain if the Conductor will still be in her office...

It's upsetting, she thinks, as she goes to knock on the door, that she's seen this woman twice and she still can't remember anything other than "purple." Hell, she's not even sure it's a woman she's seen. She's picked up the gender by and large from other people...

Ris will try the office first, because while she may be seethingly angry for others' sakes, she is not an animal. If that doesn't work, then it's onto the conductor's quarters, because she is speaking with the purple woman tonight if it kills her.

Either way, her request is the same.]

Conductor? Apologies for interrupting, but I have questions. It should only be a minute.

[And she won't be showing any emotion in front of the eye-searing kidnapper, either, despite how her stomach is twisting. She's played this game for a long time. She can hold a poker face.]
