Is that what Madam told you? No offence, but it doesn't sound like a good plan to carve him up in front of everybody as punishment for letting an outsider in, heal him up, then let him get kidnapped by that same guy.
[ there's a bite to it now, offended. he'd always been a little more wary of madam than most of the kids his age, but even if he wasn't, how could he really believe her after that display? ]
She didn't let that happen. They left on their own, and she's been freaking out ever since.
Yeah, well. I didn't, either. If I'd known that guy with the pink eyes was a criminal, I would've done more, but - I didn't know until after they were already gone.
We don't know where Iris is yet. I still need to work on my powers. I don't have anywhere else to go right now. And even if I did, if I go missing, Madam's going to notice. And there are spawncampers everywhere outside of the Tower.
What am I supposed to do? Charge out there there and get myself killed because I can't teleport away fast enough?
[ he doesn't want to think about what that would do to iris if he found out. that idiot never really stopped treating laurence like they were still friends. ]
We can only leave if we have clearance to, which I don't. And Madam's known me for pretty much my whole life - she'd know something's up if I tried to get it.
[ also listen this is just how he is he talks about iris so much and then turns around like no!!! we're not friends i don't like that guy or care about him!!! okay, dumbass ]
I am going to look for him. He got away from Madam, but he's not out of trouble.
I don't think the real world works off of just determination. But I know a couple people with connections outside of the Tower, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, it's them.

[ Who cares what Madam thinks what the hell. But other than that, the way he didn't ask about Iris here but Laurence brought him up anyway. ]
I was asking for your own safety. Did you want to go looking for Iris?

But with the right determination, anything can be done.
