You watch Winter go, seeing his sudden shift making you worry about whatever he saw. You consider sticking around to make sure Echo doesn't worry while Winter handles this, but you decide to follow.
"'Scuse me."
You wipe your beak and claws off with a napkin and follow him into the kitchen, keeping your distance for a moment as he stops near the sink and stares down at his Codex.
'Could it be his stepmom? Is my dad asking him something? I don't think I've ever seen him get upset so quickly.'
You take a breath and step forward, brushing up against his side to quietly comfort him. Feeling this, he looks over his shoulder and gives you a small, thankful smile as one of his forelegs comes around to give you a half hug.
"It's just Jackson," He tells you, his smile fading as he looks back at his Codex, "Give me a minute."
Stepmom then. From the sounds of it he still doesn't get along with her very much, though he hasn't gotten along with her since... a long time.
Releasing his half hug on you he clicks his Codex with a hoof and brings it up to his ear.
"Hey Jackson, what's up?"
You can't hear what Jackson tells him, but Winter is silent for several moments as she speaks.
"...Yeah I haven't forgotten about the two. I was already planning on seeing them pretty soon, and you know I have been busy the past few days with my own stuff. Have they been doing alright?"
"..."
"That's good to hear. Why today though, did something happen?"
There is silence for about five seconds as Jackson talks. As she does you watch Winter's frown get more pronounced.
"...What did you do?"
"..."
"You did what?"
"..."
"I know you were already looking into them, but I was expecting you to stay a good distance away not-"
"..."
"Even if you weren't caught and they didn't see you it is still dangerous for you to do that!"
"..."
"Do the others know at least?"
"..."
"Right, fine, we'll try to be there as soon as we can."
Winter then ends the call, lowering the Codex down as he uses his other hoof to rub his face.
"Jackson has snuck into Hermes by herself and now she's back."

What do you do?
