"Finding what doesn't want to be found," Robin starts carefully, pausing to toss back part of his glass smoothly without so much as a wince or a hard swallow. "It's something that I suspect you might have more recent experience with than myself. I don't go looking for what doesn't want to be found. I go looking for things with something to sell, and I mean that in a lot of ways. The girl who's gone missing, she is a meadow nymph. Very beautiful, charming, very long-lived and youthful for much of it. And of course, they don't reproduce sexually. An enticing creature. To many. For a variety of reasons. Reasons which I am just pessimistic enough to believe are the likely ones."
He finishes his drink, sets it down, fills it, and has another.
"You because, firstly, I have reasons for which I cannot ask my first choice, and bigger reasons for which I am not even letting my second choice know about any of this." Being Ishiah -- who Robin was, for all purposes if not intents, cheating on when he was carrying on with the nymph in question. "And secondly, because I think that you might be as much a pessimist as myself."
