"Looking for you!" The Balladeer lowers his hands with a wary look at Rush. "I stopped by your apartment on my way down when the alarms went off. Your door was open."

He'd been concerned the fire alarm would frighten her. Had anyone thought to explain what those were? Even if they had, the building was in chaos; it would be better to leave together. But at his knock, the door swung open. Everything inside looked as if she'd just stepped out for a second - half-prepared baking on the counter, her phone left behind again. No sign of any struggle, and it could just have easily have been her evacuating like they were supposed to. But after what little she'd told him of possible trouble, and what Daine had let slip of cages...

Well, it didn't take him much effort to get more information.

"The guards up top knew you were somewhere down here. Just not exactly where." He gives a slightly sheepish shrug. "So I've been asking around." And yes, he absolutely does mean to say he's been listening in on people's lives, in the most pointed manner he's done since coming here. Johnny didn't count; that was too weird and he's trying hard to forget it happened. None of the guards here were exactly good people, but after he'd finished with them, a surprising number were willing to just go home and rethink their lives.

As for the ones who weren't, he might technically be a blackmailer now.
