[Reira's painting a picture of a man that, in another situation, Black Hat would be courting to sell to, one he'd throw his considerable support behind in any endeavors. It's almost a shame, really. As it stands he's only useful as a tool in a larger plot.

None of this crosses Black Hat's face as Reira speaks, though. No, she doesn't need to know about it at all.]

And with a mask like that he'd stick out like a sore thumb. [Not going to make it easy, are we, Aunamee? Black Hat likes a challenge.] We'll have to do some digging. No one's perfect [Except Black Hat] so he'll have left a tell of some sort. A too-perfect kidnapping, with no traces.

[He's musing out loud a bit. It might take time to find that, but they're not necessarily on a timeline at the moment.

And he certainly notes that little quip about lies. Especially how it's about direct lies.]

[Reira nods- albeit a bit slowly at points until the meaning of certain tones and words sinks in- but she's following along at least and that's important.] ...It'd be a lot easier if humans used the network...I can look through that with my head, so I'd have been able to see if anyone was worried about someone missing. But I guess the radios and news papers are the best idea there...

....He might not eat in Bavan though. There's also Vandare. ...Or the side that lets monsters in at least. Only half of Vandare lets monsters in. [A cool challenge for Black Hat later, maybe, but hey.]
