this is going to sound super vague but
just about anything?
back home i used to travel a lot and would take a sketchbook with me, either for general stuff or because i needed to solve some giant ancient puzzle in a temple somewhere and it helps to have notes
what about you?

[ Nate tucks it away into his back pocket and promptly tries to forget about the fact that he was extremely vulnerable three minutes prior, sucking his lip between his teeth and contemplating the wisdom in getting hideously drunk before sinking into a liquor-fueled sleep.
He knows better than to do that, unfortunately. Propping his elbow on the counter while the tension bleeds from his shoulders, Nate smiles. ]
Actually...and this is gonna sound surprising, but. Tea sounds nice. Got any varieties from Nepal?

once again, i was drunk, and didn't agree to it
i think i want to go back to the part of the conversation where you were asking about sketchbooks

you're hilarious. we have an open mic night at red wings on tuesdays, you should come.

[ Frustrated. Sad. A little angry. Terrified for very specific reasons. Disappointed, for others. ]
got a lot of emotions going on right now and i can't decide which one conveys how i'm feeling

same stuff you do, sounds like. people, animals, landscapes. helps get the thoughts out.
ancient temple puzzles, huh?

ok, but we're coming back to tattoos eventually. got a friend who could use one, if you got any extra.
[ Noted and acknowledged. ]
i have. it sucks.
also been on the receiving end of that, which sucks too, but i learned from it.

[ He's done so, so much worse, but doesn't say so. Another time. ]
duly noted. if i do something like this later just assume i'm being mind-controlled, i'd never stage an intel-gathering break-in without casing the place and coming up with routes first.
and getting you to sign my committing felonies permission slip, of course.

Ze has an inbox that ze set up over this network.

We had contacts working with them in the past.
In the first drop off, a bunch of our agents were working to steal weapons away from the UNA. Don't read into that. That was a bad tip and we were the ones who took the bait. (Not we. I wasn't there.) After 99.9% of them got downed, the UNA picked them up, revived them, and tortured them for information. They gave away everything. It's not like we train our agents to withhold. We don't have the means.
The UNA launched an attack against us. It could've been way worse if it weren't for the Displaced. It may have been if everyone was as self interested as some of them. They were more worried about what the agents knew about them than the people in trouble.
I was left out of it. On purpose. Someone called in a favor and saved my ass and no one else's.
Yes, that's suspicious but it's not what I'd want. Not in a million years.
But it was just the first of many hints that people are watching you.
Funnily enough, my ass aside, that attack didn't involve you all. Doubt that'll be the case in the future. You were too new to be a threat, but they've been scraping together anything they can to paint a target on your backs. And someone out there knows who and how many backs there are.

sure, blame it on the ottoman empire, they're an easy target.
i think it goes without saying this applies to you too, though. i don't want to hear that you got caught trying to burgle a place when you could've just run it by me first.
