[ And Lockwood had always thought he was fast on a sword draw. His eyes widen slightly at the speed and deft skill Lan Wangji displays with his blade, but he doesn't allow his awe to interfere with his original intention.
With a nod, he takes the 'eye' and immediately focuses his conscious mind to his psychical ability. His Sight has always been his most powerful Talent, the intensity of his ability to see spiritual energy often blinding him without his sunglasses. Touch has always been weaker, but he is hoping that the energy Tykhe uses to bewitch her makeshift eyes will be powerful enough to bridge the gap.
He's used to working under pressure, especially when it comes to sorting out Sources. Rarely do spirits want agents to find their Sources. Not because of any desire to remain in the mortal world. But because the Sources are usually items of great value to the spirit, even if their conscious awareness has been reduced to little more than lizard brain obsession.
Finding a sister, whether said sibling wishes to be found, is a very high value and as primitive an instinct as one could get. Save, perhaps, the drive of a parent to find a child. Perhaps it is Lockwood's own deeply repressed desire to see and reunite with his own lost family that aids him, rather than his weak talent for Touch, but he turns slightly towards the north.
It's an area that does not appear to be traveled with any sort of regularity and does not seem as if it might naturally be on Tykhe's regular routes. Perhaps this is further evidence to Lan Wangji's theory that Cassandra does not wish to be found. Respectful of the older man's supposition, Lockwood discreetly motions in the new direction, seeking to leave Tykhe to her own devices for the moment. ]
'Do we go?' [ The question is conveyed through a silent lift of eyebrows rather than actual speech. ]
