“You could send notes to find out who’s still around. Test the waters. A… visiting card, or whatever people here do.”
This, from a man who didn’t even have that many remaining friendly connections in New York to pull on, either. So as a result Strange isn’t as invested in pushing Orlov as certain others might be (cough, Cedric Carsus), so— he doesn’t push on that angle too hard.
“And what about the contact we’re meeting? The Mortalitasi. The… Thevvynet?” Godawful pronunciation, he’s never heard the name said aloud before, simply read it scribbled on a report mentioning who’d be monitoring the Nevarran eluvians and escorting them on the other end.
It’s one of his last opportunities to pry for information and do a vibecheck before they’re standing in front of the woman herself, and by then it’s too awkward and obvious to whisper to his colleague, hey so what’s this person’s deal.
