Somehow, every time Jean visits his patron Arcana, his mood is vastly different from the previous time. Last time he was happy beyond his dreams and now he was kind of serious and worried. Not that he walks to blame and suspect PSYCHE for being involved with the Jaunt. Likely him being one of the Trojans was just a very cruel coincidence.Likely the virus itself was something unrelated to the Arcana. But he needed the confirmation, considering it was Grid.
For now he just waits for PSYCHE to speak up first, not really doing much except stand around.
"Jean!" And there she is, condensed down to a single person-sized person. She gives him a hug right away. "Good to see you! Especially after that mess of a Jaunt, wow."
He's definitely been better, that's for sure. "I... I'm still recovering from the Trojan thing. Which is why I'm... also here. Believe, I don't... I don't think you had your hand on it, but since it was the Grid, I... just needed to hear a confirmation from you."
"Ah, yeah... sorry." Same world anyway, but yeah, different place. "I'm glad. I'm glad to hear that. I mean, I had a feeling it wasn't you, but I just needed to be sure. And I'm glad I came to ask."
She nods. "We mostly just pick a few important people that have to get Travelers? Like, it looks like your guy was. But we don't pick the Travelers to get them, we let the the, uh, mechanisms do that."
"The Trojan I was had some kind of a special ability other ones didn't. Is that a sign of an important person? I seem to be the only one who kept the immunity to electronics, too..."
A pause as he realizes something. "There's something I've been trying to teach a few times, but never seem to be able to. Was Jan also important?" It's more mumbling to himself rather than actually a question.
"Oh hey, good catch. Yeah, when we mark the ones to have to get Travelers, it lets you guys bring stuff back. I'm not entirely sure why? I mean, it was a long time ago when we ran our game and we'd only just figured out about you. We figured out a little faster," she says proudly. "That's how we won."
Psyche starts to slowly count up on her fingers, pausing every few digits to think. "... something like fifteen? Sixteen? It... kind of blurs together. Morty could probably give you a more accurate count."
