[Daniel]

"One thing at a time," Daniel told Isabel, politely. He wanted to deal with Rodney, already his brain was trying to wrap around who to leave and charge when making the long trek to the TARDIS. Jon, perhaps, but a lot of people saw him as nothing more than a teenager; Blaise, certainly, but he would need back up and support. It wouldn't be difficult to keep this group in line, but if they were attacked or threatened - who would defend and protect?

"I'll be along shortly," he continued to Rodney. "But there are some things that will need to get squared away before we go."

"Don't worry, Danny," Faith linked her arm through his and nudged him with her hip. "We can hold the fort down while all the big brains are gone. After all, you do have yourself a Slayer." If it hadn't been for the briefest flicker of indecision and worry in her eyes, Daniel might have pointed out that at this moment Faith wasn't a Slayer.

She understands the situation better than she's going to let on, Daniel realized. From the look of scrutiny that Isabel and May-in-Hiro gave him, Daniel realized that everyone knew things were not that simple right now.

"Everyone swapped bodies back briefly, that's probably what you felt," Daniel told Isabel, before turning back to Rodney. "Actually, we should probably go now. We can round up Blaise along the way, I'd like to keep him in the loop."

"What about -" May began.

"I'll talk to him, do the translation thing."

Daniel wasn't the only one who stared at Faith.

She shrugged, "Look, I was on the TARDIS, so I can understand him and can speak Japanese and a bunch of other stuff, too, right probably? So, May and Rose and Isabel and me can get him settled. Probably better than you and Blaise doing the soldier thing or the Doctor doing the Doctor-thing.

"Trust me, if there's one thing that's gonna keep him from totally freaking out, it's gonna be three cute blondes paying lots of attention to him." Already detatched from Daniel's arm, Faith waved him and Rodney off. "Go call on the powers of Einstein and relativity and save us all with your big brains. I think we girls can handle it."

She whipped around and gave Hiro-in-May the most innocent, friendly, bright and non-sexual smile that Daniel had ever seen. Faith's words flowed in polite, calm Japanese, "Hello, Hiro. I'm Faith, and while Dr. Jackson and Dr. McKay figure out how to fix all of us -" She stopped and glanced at Rose and Isabel, "well, most of us, we're going to get you settled in and answer any questions because I'm sure you have a lot of them."

Daniel tried very hard not to gape at the transformation as he politely said goodbye to Hiro and turned to Rodney. "I guess that's our cue."

[Isabel]

Isabel looked at Faith, surprised at her apparent inclusion in the ruling cabal to be established in the absence of Daniel. She thought she'd have to fight for that.

She nodded.

"Sounds good," she said. She looked at Daniel. "Best get going as quickly as possible. Not that you really need any encouragement to try and find a solution. We'll get Hiro settled in, and try and keep a lid on anything else. I'm sure that between us we can manage something... and yes, we'll keep an eye on the magic people and make sure they don't do anything rash. Faith's experience might be helpful there," she nodded to the Slayer-in-Chloe, "but anybody with half a brain should be able to make sure they stay grounded in a bit of common sense."

She moved closer to Hiro-in-May, wondering where they'd be able to find a quiet room to have a chat with him. The other cafeteria, probably. "I don't know if you've got any other plans for keeping in touch, but pay attention to your dreams. If something happens you need to know, I'll try dreamwalking. And before you protest-" she held up a hand to stop the inevitable reaction to that suggestion, "I won't be looking or meddling, I'll just be delivering a message and leaving. You're unlikely to be able to formulate a coherent reply while you're asleep anyway."

He broke out in a relieved grin when he heard Japanese, nodding as he listened. "Oh, yes," He moved to push the non-existent glasses back up before he clenched his fists, shoving them in his pockets. "I have many questions..." He looked around them, nervously, rubbing his arm. "Many questions and no ideas where to begin."

[Isabel]

Isabel came running back around the corner from the grisy scene of Shannon-in-Charlie's murder and saw May's body still waiting, looking bemused.

"Sorry," she said, hoping he understood at least that much English. "Bad things happening." She gestured toward the cafeteria which wasn't being used by the magic folks. "This way, please. We can get food and drink, and talk about what is happening."

OOC: Redirect!
