[There's no verbal response, but there's a slow exhale on his end of the line. It is. It very much is related to that; Jason's either trained him very well or he's made him so paranoid about sharing anything that he's not sure who he can talk to or what he can share anymore without pushing a ton of buttons.

Twice, but I don't know if the field trip with Clarke really counts since it was just for the day. And the last time I was there was for a week or something back in February and I wasn't working on somebody else's agenda. [He stops to consider for a moment before continuing.] It's been a really, really long time since I've traveled out that far. [Even without the rest of the sentence, the implication's clear. "It's been a really, really long time since I've traveled out that far by myself."] But it should be fine. It's just Redgate and as soon as I have what I need I'll be back at Caer Scima anyway.
