[Aubri speaks with an urgent clipped tone, though it's fairly obvious there's something distracting him: he looks to the side every now and again before his gaze flits back to the locket.]

Has anyone seen or heard from a woman named Ariadne? [There's a hint of desperation there; he's really like someone to answer him in the positive here.] She disappeared--

[And his distraction strikes again: Ariadne's bandersnatch cub is apparently doing something dumb off-screen.] Straton. [Aubri turns back to the locket.] She disappeared last night near the Station Ring. I fear--

--Straton, enough. [There's a bit of rustling off-screen and then Aubri hisses. Just before the broadcast ends, there's one more thing said -- and it's obviously not meant for the wider audience.] That is my tail. Thrice-blighted little--

[And the locket closes.]

I'll come to you. [He is, sadly, used to dealing with missing person cases and the grief they cause.] Where are you?

Going to the Station.

I'll meet you there. [Vanyel makes his way to the Station, arriving slightly breathless. At least Aubri stands out - who else has such magnificent wings?] Lord Aubri?

Where did you last see Ariadne?

[Aubri has made his way to the Station finally and is currently trying to keep Straton occupied. Thankfully, the cub has worn himself out; he's currently tiredly playing with a small ball that Aubri found somewhere.

Aubri looks up at the call, wings lifting as he finds Vanyel.]

Near the Station Ring. I have not had word of her since.
