[It's been almost a month - it's time to start making some discreet inquiries. It's not a huge deal, but Blake would like his wallet back. And Selina is the first and most obvious person to ask. So:]
Miss Kyle -
I'd like to ask you about something, of a relatively personal and private nature.
[ she knows exactly where they all are after all, so no matter what, she was going to be checking on bruce, but at least she has a bit more to play off as randomness now. ]
I'm in the oxygen garden, we'll probably be setting up a base of operations here. To make sure everyone gets what they need.
[She can think what she wants, but Blake has a duty, whether he's in Gotham or stuck on a space ship of horrors. And he appreciates her willingness to help. He thought she might - he has a hunch she's not as bad as her criminal record back home might suggest.]

But something of mine has gone missing, and I'm wondering if you have any information that might help me find it again.
text;
You might have to elaborate on what you're missing though, Detective.
text;
It's just my wallet. I know it was here at the jump, but I haven't seen it since then.
And no, I'm not accusing you of stealing it, I'm just trying to work out who might have motive.
[And he knows she's probably watching the network carefully. Knows she might have contacts with people who would never talk to him.]
text;
I wonder why someone would want to do that?
Is there anything of value in it?
text;
Just a little cash, which doesn't have any value here. So no, unless having my blood donor card would be valuable to someone.
Look, if you can't help me, I'll just follow up on other leads.
text;
I'm simply running down all the possibilities.
Curious as to what you think I could do though?
text;
text;
So tell me Detective, are you asking me to see what I can find?
text;
You don't have to use my title here. It's kind of meaningless.
I guess I am. It's not a big deal, I just figured I'd ask.
text;
[ or she just likes getting under his skin. ]
And if I help you, then what?
text;
If you help me, then I'll owe you a favor. I don't have anything else to offer.
[Why does he feel a little like he's making a deal with the Devil.]

And I don't know why he returned it. But that's for me to find out.

hopefully he will be able to shed some light on it though.
thrilled you found it though.

[ yes, he will always be unnamed, but she knows he knows who she is referring to here. ]
voice | cat-crypt
And no, I haven't.
[Yeah, he knows, and that's one more thing he's got for her to do, so:]
I was thinking you could take floors nine through eleven. [Bruce is on ten, of course, so there's that.]

Where will you be?

Well Detective, if there's something you need; you know how to find me.
[ meaning she will be helping, but not making her presence known unless needed. ]
voice | cat-crypt
Thank you.
[He means it, too.]
