[ can't go out in the sun. it's so — old school, like a late night showing of dracula. he came from the night! but he doesn't let the passing thought amuse him, when the ramifications could be dire for her. ]
Okay, no sun. [ aloud 'cause it helps him think. he drags a hand across his jaw, visibly thoughtful. ] We're arriving at midday, so you'll want to move to the quiet car several back from this one. [ pin dropped to her as he says it. ] That has shades for sleeping passengers, but you should be alright, as the journey is strictly underwater until we hit the platform.
[ he shares a document of his notes on new tokyo, researched before peggy departed the first time, and augmented by her debriefing him upon waking and liaising with gaby and el on the phone. ]
New Tokyo is largely manmade, with transport dipping hundreds of feet underwater. [ a casual confidence in this. fitz excels when faced with a problem to solve. ] Reckon there'll be a direct underground connection from the train station to our destination at PRESERVE headquarters, though whether we can take it depends on the extent of the power outages. Regardless, it's likely there will be an above-ground walk from the underground station to the building. [ a beat. ] The blizzard should obscure the worst of the sunlight, but I'm not sure what your limits are. [ his eyes flicker over her, assessing. ] Would layers help? Could always pick up a brolly at the station, depending on the distance we're eyeing.

And I've the ability to jump distances, as far as I can see, if it comes to that.
[ risky, to be sure, but with power outages across the city, CCTV will be down. and the extreme weather means minimal eyewitnesses, too. they can take the risk, if it means keeping her safe. ]
As for the issue of a, ah... snack. [ laugh track!! his mouth quirks, like he means to be reassuring but ends up sheepish instead. ] Would it be better if we sorted that now or closer to arrival? You know better than me.
[ and he has another half hour before he's due to meet cain and markus. ]
