[And Myr--dear, unsuspecting, kind-hearted Myr--has absolutely no idea that he's the source of that frustration.

He is not so naive that he hadn't been a little concerned to hear Jin Guangyao--a man he respects--making veiled suggestions as to Mirrorbound who might be amenable for "recruitment" to the Circle's cause. But--inclined as he was to think the best of everyone he knew--the Faun also could not rule out that what he'd heard was all part of a pre-arranged plan to slip more Mirrorbound into the Circle's confidences, and maybe, maybe get them closer to Alder's secrets.

He wants so much to trust that's the case, but a Faun's niggling sense for danger won't let him trust it to the point of not acting on what he'd heard. He'd put out a warning to Caster; now it remained to talk to Jin Guangyao...and his victims suggested converts.

Fortunately for the Naga's plans, it is a non-trivial exercise to find someone's watch address with only a name in hand (and no eyes with which to navigate the watch's directory)--doubly so when you're not even certain how such a name might be spelled. Myr hasn't managed to contact anyone by the time there's a knock on the door of the cottage he shares with Caster and Archer; and worried as he is by the whole situation, the search exercise is frustrating enough that he's relieved to leave it aside for a time.

Coming! [he calls, and is along within a minute to open the door to his unexpected guest. A mostly grown wormipede peeks out from behind his ankles as he faces out the door, ears lifted to catch any sign of who might have come calling.] Who do I have the pleasure of speaking to, serah?
