[Leaning against a tense, unhappy shoulder is more familiar than not. The main difference is that she'd have known how to make Tron relax a little. There's nothing to comfort Rinzler with now except staying by him while she can.

The nod is enough relief that her acknowledgement comes out as a sigh. Even with the admin's presence Rinzler's doing the best he can under the orders. Can she ask more?]

Thanks.

[She thinks better of pushing too hard about return messages from Rinzler. If he can, he will. In the meantime she'll have some proof whether he is well by the fact of the notes she leaves being read or not.

A fragile connection and not much comfort. But enough to let her hope she and Rinzler can make progress before they have to confront Clu.

Eventually the admin will notice her. Not yet. She's not going to make things that much more difficult for Rinzler before she really has to.]

Rinzler...

[Words come reluctantly. Yori rubs a fist across her knee.]

I think I need to tell you what little I've figured out, but I don't want to say anything that will hurt you.

Do you want to hear about Encom yet?
