He let the poor girl ramble on as he ate, not really bothering to say anything or commit so much as a grunt to indicate he was paying attention. She was worried, a hint of paranoia that probably lent itself to her being Atharim rather then a confused writer, and it was just one more tick in the box in favor of his suspicion that that was exactly what she was. Coincidences in life were fine and dandy, but he wasn't about to second guess his suspicions on her. She was Atharim, and it was damnably confusing that they hadn't come looking for her after the crash that had taken her memory.
Although he didn't waste time talking, he still hardly finished eating ahead of her; he was a fast eater, a matter of habit brought on by past necessity and training. "Well, if you can't meet with him, I suppose I could try introducing you to someone who knows a bit about all that stuff you've apparently been writing about. See if maybe they can jog your memory any."
He would contact some of his Atharim handlers (that's what they liked to think of themselves as, in regards to how they worked with Hood), but would try to make sure it was in a setting they controlled. If the girl's memory was permanently gone, there was little point in the Atharim trying to bring her back in. And in turn, if it were permanently gone, she was no threat to exposing their organization. He was curious to see how they would deal with one of their own children laid lame.
