[She really must be out of sorts. He would be more curious about the specifics, if things were less dire on his side of things. What he even hopes to do, what he thinks he can hold onto tooth and nail just with his applied presence (and none of the ability that used to go with it) is not a consideration. Just the insistence that this time will be different (he always wants it to be different). Whatever wounds or disruptions she's holding will have to remain her own affair. He is distantly surprised to find himself not unregretful.
Her second message only confirms there's something off, something significant. A missing Cat would explain some of it, maybe all? How could he know. Of course he means it. Being reassuring is unfortunately not his purview, even at better times than these.]
He seems cunning enough to stay hidden, but I'll keep my eyes open.
