There are more notes I have to sift through relating to my research on the Underworld, I want to double check the map to see if anything else has changed, I have a pile of books relating to the occult to read, there is work on the Camera Obscura to be done, I need to practice shooting, there are lunches to make for tomorrow, and a few other things.

Thank you, Fenris. I appreciate the offer.
