Phoebe? That made perfect sense, in hindsight. He hadn't known where the shell was located within the Temple, but since Phoebe was one of Remi's closest friends, the alchemist would have entrusted it to her. Had the shells even been used since LongNight? There had been so much happening he realized he had no idea what Remi and Ronin had even been up to for most of Flowerbirth.
For that matter, he only tangentially knew what Phoebe had been up to. Taking care of the many wounded from the Festival, burying her nephews, and getting spite?married... He'd hardly seen her since their Guardian group trip to Halo. He cleared his throat reflexively when he realized that the silence was stretching, and tried to decide what to do with the information. "Ah, Phoebe, I hope I'm not interrupting? I was curious who had the other half of the shells. I had thought..." He trailed off, because he hadn't really had a concrete idea, hoping that one would spark when he found out who had the other half. "Well. Without knowing where the other half was, I wasn't sure what to think. Would you like me to bring this one over so you can have the set?" It seemed only fair; she had been far closer to Remi than him, and he didn't need any mementos of the absent alchemist now that he knew that the other young man was still alive somewhere to the south.
