[He's pretty slow responding to that. He's not really happy to be back, exactly, and it's hard to explain that without making things worse for everybody.]

[He's apprehensive about this. It's like what happened with the homeworld gems all over again, except somehow worse. He hadn't wanted to tell Connie, and he doesn't want to have to tell anybody else either. Except he's already learned once that trying not to doesn't work.

Especially when Wirt doesn't even have the opportunity to stay out of this, even if he wanted to. They're all in danger, together, and there's no avoiding that.

He hesitantly gives Wirt the address, his gut already turning. He hasn't even seen Wirt in person since they both got their changes. It shouldn't be a big deal but somehow it is.]
