[It's not often that Jade makes use of the network herself, preferring to respond to others, and she's been as preoccupied by the trials as many others have this past week. Even so, something troubling has come to her attention, and she would rather not sit and wonder and worry needlessly, if it indeed ends up being needless.]

I realize there's a great deal going on right now, and so I'll make this brief.

[Her tone is careful and refined, but there's certainly worry beneath all of that, thinly-veiled.]

Has anyone seen or heard from Dimitri recently? Even amidst the trials and current situation with Celliwig, it's unlike him to miss training or go silent.

[At least in her experience. She knows enough about his previous ghosting act to know that this doesn't feel right. If something has gone wrong, he can certainly take care of himself, but that doesn't keep concern from mounting.]

I know he has acquaintances here. If you hear anything, I would greatly appreciate if you would let me know.

Right, sounds like we're talking about the same guy.

I hate to say it, but it's actually not unusual for him to pull disappearing acts. Sometimes for a really long time. I couldn't tell you what could be gong on his head to have caused it this time, though.

I'd suggest sending him a message, but he's... also not that great at using these things. Sorry I'm not much help.

[feisticuffs]

He did tell me about that— having vanished before.

[Well, perhaps not so much told her as certain events following the masquerade awhile back suddenly left her with a wealth of information of what was going on in Fodlan, but close enough.]

I've been trying to get in touch with him with these, as well, but to no avail. He's never not answered me before.

[And perhaps she hasn't known him as long as some others have, but she would still like to think she knows him well.]

As things stand now, I don't think he would disappear unless something were terribly wrong. He's been— adamant, about not wanting to repeat past mistakes.

[leicesters]

That does sound like something he'd say.

[Claude doesn't really understand Dimitri, but he'd made the effort when Claude had reached out to him, so he's not the man he remembers from back home. Or at least, he was trying not to be. Now, though...]

If something happened to make him go missing regardless, maybe someone has some kind of magic that can help you track him down.

[feisticuffs]

Do you know one another well, then?

[She has some understanding of how things are among the many who hail from Fodlan; they're all connected, but perhaps not as close as they might have been were circumstances different.

She exhales; the idea is a good one, especially if nobody else has much in the way of helpful information, either.]

There's an idea. It's difficult to imagine him being in a situation he could not fight his way out of if he needed to, but that makes me worry all the more.

[leicesters]

We're old friends and classmates.

[He'll let her fill in the blanks on the rest, depending on how much she knows about Fodlan's affairs.]

I'll help you look. If he really has wandered into something dangerous, it'd be risky for you to go off searching on your own.

[feisticuffs]

From the Officers' Academy.

[Said with a certain degree of confidence; she'd seen a great deal thanks to the vernal pools. The blanks fill themselves in well enough.]

I know that his relationships with many people from home are a bit... stilted, given the circumstances, but I appreciate the offer. While I can certainly take care of myself, I'm not one to turn away help when it presents itself.

[She pauses, briefly.]

Regardless of what happened in Fodlan, I know he wants things to be different here.

[leicesters]

Yup, the Academy. I don't know if he's ever named names to you, but I'm Claude. I was a house leader like he was.

[As for his wish for things to be different...]

Believe me, the feeling's mutual. Last time I met him, it was to gain an audience with Arthur together. Both of us are keen to work together and move on from all that madness back home. [All of them are, really. Though that does make Dimitri's disappearance more concerning, all things considered.]

Anyway... I can tell you really care about him. If I find him, you'll be the first to know.

[feisticuffs]

I recognize the name— from the Leicester Alliance, yes?

[There had been so much information heaped upon her thanks to the vernal pools that she can't sort it all out, but she did at least remember the names of the major players.]

I'm glad to hear you both have the same ends in mind. I'm sure he's grateful for the opportunity to mend things, as well, and I greatly appreciate the offer. It helps to know I won't be the only one looking. You're right, I do— care about him, that is.
