In Ray's New York it's relatively late as well, but the thing about Ray is that he no longer has any real sense of exactly where his circadian rhythm is supposed to fall. As long as he gets eight or nine hours of sleep out of every twenty-eight hours lived, he's pretty good. Milliways is for sleeping as much as anything else.

It is, however, also for meeting people you know- and so he heads over to Andrew's table as soon as he spots him.

[stilljustandrew]

*He glances up from his half-eaten grilled cheese (with mayonnaise, just the way he likes it) at the sight of the other man.*

Hey, Ray. How's it going?

[gone_byebye]

"Pretty much okay," Ray says. "We got a good day in today with the new trainees. Nothing rose out of the ocean and tried to devour anybody while they were practicing with the proton packs, so I consider that coming out ahead. How're you doing?"

[stilljustandrew]

*Andrew sighs.* Okay, I guess.

Long day. There was a Council meeting conference call that went on for hours.

[gone_byebye]

"Eew," Ray says, wrinkling his nose. "What was the subject, or shouldn't I ask?"

He drops into one of the chairs and signals a waitrat for the green stuff.

[stilljustandrew]

...well. I told you about how the Scythe got stolen, didn't I?

*He leans forward, elbows on the table.*

[gone_byebye]

"Right, I remember that," says Ray. "Has the situation been resolved, or is bad mojo still on the horizon?"

[stilljustandrew]

That situation's been resolved, yeah -- we recovered the Scythe in time, that part's all good.

Only someone in Council raised the question of what we should do about the turncoat Slayer who stole it in the first place.

[gone_byebye]

"Oh. Urk." Ray considers this. "She's still alive, huh? ... well, of course she is, you wouldn't be debating this if she weren't..."

[stilljustandrew]

Yeah. Nobody saw her during the fight -- Mel and the Winchesters said they saw her with the other Wolfram & Hart Slayers in the ritual room, but they didn't see where she went after that.

So, yeah. Still alive.

[gone_byebye]

"And I take it scrying her out somehow has difficulties?" Ray guesses.

[stilljustandrew]

Well, that's part of the question -- whether we should spend resources on trying to find her. I mean, we know where she probably is, that isn't really the question.

It's whether we should go after her.

[gone_byebye]

"And, I assume, what you would do if you did catch up with her?" Ray says. "That can't be something easy to unanimously decide on."

[stilljustandrew]

Yeah. That.

The old Council of Watchers would've sent a team to find her and haul her back to England to face justice.

But I hear last time they tried that it didn't work so well.

[gone_byebye]

"I don't think you ever told me about that, so it was probably something ironically horrible," Ray says. "All things considered."

[stilljustandrew]

Point is, (a), she's not so much of a threat anymore, since the only way she got in in the first place was we trusted her.

*There's a little bitterness in his voice, on that.*

But more importantly, (b), we definitely can't risk another raid on Wolfram & Hart to find her.
