[Jon bristles slightly at that look. He is not a virgin anymore. Lilith had seen to that. He glares at her for a moment before looking off to the side.]
How much detail do you need? We all worked together for years. Tim knew her better than I did before we went to the Archives.
[That does make sense, but now that he's thinking about it...]
I can give you the details, but let me talk to him about it first before you go snooping. I think I have a way that might make him more... amenable to you. You both despise the Beholding with a particular passion. Your efforts toward dealing with it might be enough to sway him.
[And if not, then something more covert.]
He's not the sort of man to forgive easily, and I'd rather not... ruin things with him. Again.
[Pressing on.]
We had my birthday in the Archives once. Or close enough to it. It was the week before Christmas and everyone was gathered in our break room. Sasha was the only woman working in the Archives at the time. This would have been... about a year ago from Tim's perspective. Tim, Martin, and Elias were all there, as well.
I'll have a talk with him and let you know. Am I allowed to walk out the door, or do you need to put a bag over my head now and spin me around three times before shoving me through a portal to leave?

A memory to search for, a moment when that woman should have been there. It will give me somewhere to focus.

( she doesn't want to target the wrong person after all )

( it was enough of a visual to know what she was looking for, particularly when she knew the faces of the majority of those that would be present )
And... I wouldn't have done this without his knowing. Manipulating a memory and retrieving one leave very different impressions.
( one was noticeable )

( all he'll see is a wave of her hand before feeling himself bilocated back to where they'd teleported from. enjoy your trip )
