[Some of that ignorance is by design on Nathan's part, to be fair. He'd withdrawn to deal with things lately, as is his usual wont. That awful Echo, and then the informant from Thundercorp -- both the words and the violent death -- would certainly qualify as enough to make him pull back.]

[He shakes his head mildly.] I don't know any more than you do. [It's a little unsettling, how easily the lie rolls off his tongue. No hitch in the voice, no averted gaze. He does know something more, but has committed himself to not saying. Even if he truly wants to.]

You should get something. [He eyes the stacks of paperwork.] I can handle some of that.
