"I didn't know he wasn't home, I just arrived myself," he huffs, rolling his eyes. But he gets out his phone and brings up Ekko's number, because it's a reasonable suggestion. Irritated as he was, he would kick himself if he didn't explore every option to find Ekko.
His stomach drops when a tinny voice on the line tells him the number has been disconnected. Clenching his jaw, he inhales deeply through his nose, holds it, then snaps the phone shut and tucks it away. If that wasn't confirmation that he wouldn't be finding Ekko, he didn't know what was.
He'd deal with it later. Right now, he needed to focus on the problem in front of him.
"Killua, you said?" Another white haired teenager with a smart mouth. Just what he needed in his life. "I'm Hermes. Unfortunately for you, it's not my job to be all-knowing. It's my duty to watch over travelers and deliver messages. So, since I'm not a mind-reader, before I claim you, would you be so kind as to tell me as much about yourself as you can? I would hate to give you a name that's not befitting."
