You'll have to trigger it manually, but it's easy. Here. [tilting the screen so they both can see it, she goes through the motions of two quick taps on certain options, but doesn't do it a third time.] Hitting this one sends out the signal and broadcasts your location to him.

I'll use it wisely, then. Thank you for your help!
[Oh, and she adds...]
Ah, Unzan says thank you too.
no subject
You're both welcome. Give me a call if you need any help with that thing in the future.
[By thing she means the Compass, of course. Tech's kind of her thing.]

[But she pockets her Compass for now. She doesn't need it out here, does she?]
