[i]Five years[/i]

[i]Alright... That makes this harder.[/i] Fionn walks towards the table, obviously appearing exhausted as he attempts to appear like a Hunter whose just come back from the frontier.
-
"Nice to see you back, bud," Cayde said. "Cayde," Sarah said, "I think this one has a story." "Because of course you point it out, Seraph."
-
Fionn smiles slightly. "It's good ta be back. I was gone fer what... Eight months this trip? Bloo'y long time."
-
"Then this better be a damn good story," She said.
-
"Well, I managed to fin' a place outside o' the darkness." He explains.
-
"Sounds interesting. Won't surprise me if Vex sent you there."

"Aye, they did. Sent me to another timeline. No darkness, just lots o' psychotic oddballs all over an odd planet."
-
"Sounds pretty crazy."
-
"Heh, crazy don' even begin ta describe it. There were humans there, an' other species I've ne'er saw." He replies. [spoiler]Ok, what am I supposed to do now? I have her attention... Now what?[/spoiler]
-
[i]Okay. In this timeline, her consciousness is probably a photo or book. Or a photo behind those books on the bookshelf. It differs from timeline to timeline.[/i]
-
[i]An' how do I look for it withou' makin a fool o' myself?[/i]
-
[i]Ask if you can borrow a book.[/i]
-
"I'd like ta look fer books tha' could help explain some o' what I saw. It's why I came down 'ere actually." He says, turning to face Sarah.
-
"Go ahead."
-
"Thank you, ma'am." He looks at the books. [spoiler]Any o' these look like the one?[/spoiler]
-
Hidden behind a few book is a photograph. Part of it sticks out. All you can see is a Titan that looked like Chase in the photo.
-
Fionn flips through a couple books, waiting for Sarah to look away or something so he could steal the picture. [spoiler]What'll I 'ave ta do with it?[/spoiler]
-
She looked away, paying attention to her studies.
-
[i]What do I do with it?[/i] He asks, slipping it into his belt so quickly and silently nobody sees it. He then moves on to the next book.
-
[i]First of all, leave the room. We don't want her to realize you took it while you're in the room.[/i]
-
He finds a book that wouldn't be suspicious and picks it up. "Mind if I borrow this?"
-
[i]Leave. Now.[/i] "Go ahead." Sarah/Seraph continued her studies. She turned around to see what book he borrowed. He'd taken the prize of her collection: [i]How to Calmly Handle Being on a Fireteam with a Hunter[/i]. But she noticed her photo was gone. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She piled through her entire shelf, panicking and repeating, "Where is it?"
-
Fionn was already out of the area, heading towards the city edge. [i]Now what?[/i]
