That part was glossed over as he continued, "Ezra tells me it was to give me something to do when he switched servers." He said the words, but it was clear he didn't quite understand them. And if he did, he didn't want to. "I was inspecting the Borderline for clues of what was going on and why Helia was killed when I was attacked. That was just before I was sent here."

He looked at her curiously. Did she know about any of that? He'd always been curious what had happened after he'd left... nothing, by the sounds of it. Ezra had never mentioned it again, but Ezra'd been jumpy about going back to the Borderline even on Rasmus or Tristan.
