Of course Stefan would've checked up on Wally. No surprises there after the guy had had a run-in with Damon, a fact Stefan no doubt had learned from Alaric. Damon's interest in Wally remained, but it hadn't been enough for him to go out of his way today to actually find him. Especially not since Rick had solved that little issue with

Byrne listened hard as they went along, trying his best to absorb every bit of Badd's tale without a word. Sheesh, there was so much to hear and so little time to take it in. So Little Thief was found by Kay, Cohdopia went into war and split in two--seriously?--Kay took up the Yatagarasu name, von Karma got--woah wait slow down--Calisto got into Interpol, everything became tense with Coachen and some power struggle, the video tape from ten years ago popped up again, and Badd held Edgeworth at gunpoint.

A well known one, at that! He did something incredibly dangerous all by himself without any sort of backup to make sure he wouldn't get caught. That was practically the whole point of the Yatagarasu having three legs! If there was anything Byrne would love to say right now, it was a million things on how dangerous and stupid and reckless and unsafe Badd had been
