[It takes him a while to post anything, having taken the time to read the pamphlet through several times before even exiting the pod. He stands just outside the exit to the Bay when he starts up his device.]

This is indeed most troubling. I assume if there is anyone I am familiar with here, the sound of my voice should be enough to alert them to my presence. That said, I would appreciate being contacted at your earliest convenience.

[He clicks the device off and swings his cane to rest on his shoulder as he sets off in search of a coffee shop.]

[Of course. She should have known that he of all people would have known the truth. She believes him when he says it doesn't matter to him but, even so, her place at Beacon suddenly felt a little less secure.

Not that that seemed to matter right now. And he couldn't possibly know EVERYTHING, could he?]

He hasn't. I spoke with him when he first arrived, and he agreed not to cause any trouble for us.

[Ozpin prides himself on knowing as much as he does. However, the specifics of her relationship with Adam - aside from being former "associates" - are not known to him. He does respect privacy after all.]

Good. If he does, however, please let me know. I will attempt to solve things diplomatically if possible.

Now that we have that out of the way... how are you, Blake?

[A human, solve things diplomatically with Adam? It seems Ozpin doesn't know him quite that well. If Adam does go back on his word, Blake will have to be the one to deal with him.]

I'm adapting. [She was good at that. But her own well-being isn't top priority right now.]

Are you aware of what's going on?

If you are referring to the situation with Yang, I just now saw Ruby's message. I will be heading over to offer what support I can. However, at the moment, I'm not sure how much help I will be, cut off as I am from my team.

[Qrow and Glynda would be such welcome sights right about now.]

I think anything you could offer would be helpful right now.

... She's been missing for a long time. I'm beginning to worry.

[Ever the pessimist. She's been trying to be hopeful but it's difficult to do so. And she still can't shake the feeling that it's partly her fault for keeping her mouth shut.]

Yes, this is highly out of character for Yang. If nothing else, she would have contacted Ruby by now if she were capable. With any luck, Ruby will have uncovered something by the time I meet up with her.
