answer your god damn phone
[How many calls had he missed from Leorio alone?
Honestly, he preferred not to look at the number. It was wrong, but this wasn't something he could pull any of them into. He'd been wrapped up in his own little world, paying attention to the news enough when it related to his work and his end goal, and while he could have gone to the elections or even to visit Gon (his comrades had, after all), he decided against it. Visiting would have just opened up a whole can of other problems.
Maybe it went against what he'd been thinking before, but he had matured a bit since then. With the Spider desperately working to repair itself, and plenty of its members still on the move, Kurapika had to consider how to handle them-- but he was also sitting right on top of the location of the eyes of his brethren. He had to work up to it, and well... That's what he'd done.
There were a large amount of them recovered (he had to deal with a lot of people to get this collection) and given funerals, but it wasn't enough until he had every last set. There were still leads to follow, and so he continued to climb and gain Nostrade's trust.
Trust, though, is what leads him to pulling his cell phone out now. A strange illness was breaking out in the Nostrade organization, and it was worrying Nostrade himself. A few of his workers had already died, and panic was growing. He demanded that Kurapika find him someone to find out what was going on, but to be sure it was someone they could 'trust', because this could very well be an attack on them.
A doctor that he could trust? His first thought was that there was none. But after just a moment's more hesitation, he gives in and speaks his understanding clearly to Nostrade, hitting the call button on his phone and stepping away. His opposite hand curls at his elbow as he waits. This is pulling him in, but if it's just Leorio... It'll be easier to keep him in the dark about a lot of what he's been doing.
He'll use that to justify this selfish decision.]

Leorio?
never probably 1/2 also bc narrating is hard
Let's go. [So, fine, basically. He's hurt here too, you know?? Nah, but really, he does respect Kurapika, so finding him is the priority here. He's just not a blubbering mess over it, he thinks with a pointed look in Leorio's direction.
Once inside, things are disheveled here and there, and there's an unconscious member of the Nostrade family near the door, two dead newer members in a couple of the other immediate rooms, and some of this Don Paolo group members similarly strewn over pieces of furniture or the staircase.
Well, a mansion battlefield of sorts. That's promising, right.]
They went that way [he points towards a rather long hallway] but I wasn't allowed to follow if I wanted to live. I didn't catch which way they turned. Kurapika told me to stay here.
[Ah, another pointed look at Leorio. But the hallway is an idea, at least. One branch of many, even if it separated off into other little sections.]
If we split up, we might be able to find him faster, but we should be careful not to ruin his side of the agreement at a bad ti--
