[Walking through the memories of other people's trauma was like watching torture case files and interrogations with certain spies. Most of the one's he had found himself in had been horrible, the kind of memories that people would never want to share if they had a choice. He had seen a lot of shit in his day, had plenty done to him way back when, but so far, he hadn't had to personally have the details of his past revealed to others. He liked to think that his advanced training in compartmentalization was how he avoided that, but in a way, he suspected it was just a matter of time.
So, he went exploring instead. Distraction was a good way to avoid having to wander around in fleeting dreams. Those revealed were hardly ever happy. Why would they be? People were formed together because of various conflict. So, because he had the transport available, he took it to Wyver just to see; he didn't plan on staying, not this time anyway.
He wandered around the dragon city, hands tucked into his pockets, and his head down enough that he could clearly be an unknown not worth bothering. When he spotted a familiar woman walking like she had somewhere to be, he lengthened his stride to catch up as he weaved through the crowd. However, he wasn't foolish enough to come up on her fast without identifying himself.]
Jones. [She had a tension about her that likely only a stiff drink would help put at ease. Or at least until she blacked out from it.]
