[ With the Sanctuary slowly being rebuilt, Helen has decided it's time to try and make business partners. She turns on the feed, dressed for a meeting - or several. ]

Hello, everyone. I'm glad to see that you're all recovering from the events of a few weeks ago. [ She turns the pen in her hands, as she's seated at her desk. ] I'd like to propose

Action

[Kate's in the office at two til five. She's taking up about half of the couch, lounging.] What's up, Doc?

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen walks over to her, folding her skirt under her and sitting down beside her. ]

Will isn't here anymore, Kate. His name is gone from every listing I can find. [ She's certain Kate knows what that means. ]

[isnotforsale]

[Kate frowns at the news. She had a feeling that would happen.] Do we know when he left? Was it during the fighting or after that? I know we didn't hear anything from it during....

[notanemptymotto]

My suspicion is that it was sometime after the fighting finally left.

[ Her gaze drops. ]

[isnotforsale]

Shit. [Kate sighs, shoulders slumping a little.] I'm sorry, Magnus.

[notanemptymotto]

It's alright. He's back home, where he ought to be. Where all of us should be.

The question is... did he find a way home or did they simply drop him back off at his proper place in the timeline?

[isnotforsale]

You'd think he'd leave a note letting us know that he found a way back. Just a head's up. 'Hey, I think I may have found a way home. Bee arr bee.'

[notanemptymotto]

After he was done scrutinizing and analyzing it. However, even then, Will would know the importance of all of this. Especially after Aliunde.

[isnotforsale]

[Kate nods slowly. She frowns, running her fingers through her hair.] Right. So, we got a plan for what happens next? [She knows the basics. She and Helen spoke of it before. Less Assassin time, more Sanctuary.]

[notanemptymotto]

I'm going to need a new second-in-command. Just in case something should ever happen to me. [ Helen gives her a bit of a smile. Kate is her pick. ]

[isnotforsale]

[Kate smiles back. The thought of Helen gone makes Kate's stomach twist, but she tries to not let it show on her face.] I sort of love that you picked me over Sparky McTeeth.

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen laughs. ] We both know that Nikola's loyalty is more to me than it is the Sanctuary, Kate. Can you imagine what he would do with all that responsibility? Besides, you ran the Aliunde Sanctuary with me. You can do this.

[isnotforsale]

[Kate laughs.] I know. I'm afraid to imagine what he'd do if he was second. [She nods, resting her hands in her lap.] It's like falling off a bike. I can get back into the swing of things, easy.

[notanemptymotto]

[ She gives her a wide smile. ] Good. This will be far more taxing than it was in Aliunde. Mandalus is far bigger and this is the Sanctuary of Old City.

[isnotforsale]

Yeah, the place in Aliunde was a little smaller than-- [She doesn't bother finishing the sentence and just pats the back of the couch, signifying the rest of the Sanctuary.] I can start tomorrow morning? Get a good night's sleep and prepare for the inevitable?

[notanemptymotto]

As soon as you'd like, although sooner is better than later. [ Her eyebrows go up. ] Hopefully it won't cut into the dates that you and Mr. Miles have like it did for Will and Abby.
