Meeting

[tefe-holland.livejournal.com]

Things had been quiet, of course that was usually what happened just before everything decided to get out of control in Tefe's experience. There had been time to grow the plants on the base the way she wanted them, some were just for looks, some were for traps, some were to talk to.

She still wondered what that strange Raven woman had wanted outside the theater that day, the other people showing up had scared her away before they could really talk. Maybe she should look her up soon.

Now Caleb wanted her to come to a meeting. Tefe wasn't exactly sure what it was for but she was able to guess it had something to do with Corrine. He hadn't been around too much to ask how his sister was doing because he'd been trying to find a solution to where Corrine had gone. Hopefully she could ask about Amelia at the same time.

She showed up where Caleb had asked her to be with her hands in her pockets and a slightly curious look.

"I'm here."

Comments

"As long as you're more helpful than Constantine I should be fine."

“I think cockroaches would be more helpful than Constantine,” Caleb mutters between sips.

“Well then. Tefe, my colleague here was suggesting that he might be able to extend your senses over the full length and width of the ley lines, allowing your connection to the red to help you locate Corrine. It is, of course, more easily said than done, but in theory it’s a sound plan.”

He turns back to Sand. “I’ll endorse an attempt.”

"For safety sake," says Fate, "I'd like to tether Tefe Holland's spirit to an anchor here in this world. Someone with whom she shares blood, of course, would resonate best. Perhaps Gemma could be convinced to serve in that capacity?"

"Gemma would be fine if she'll do it." Caleb gets a look for the comment, Constantine is useful in his own way and she thinks he and Caleb just need to hit each other a few times and get over it.

"Because all the other blood candidates are kind of elsewhere and I don't feel like talking to them right now."

Fate nods, but says nothing. He is quite familiar with Tefe's convoluted history.

Instead, he turns his piercing, eyeless gaze on each assembled in turn, as if evaluating them. But what opinions he's forming remain unspoken.

The scrutiny does not go unnoticed. "Penny for your thoughts?"

[doctorfatejsa.livejournal.com]

"I am simply evaluating, Caleb Zukov," he says. "We are mixing volatile magics and crossing complex destinies. I simply wish to be prepared for all that may occur."

"That's why we're here, Hector." Hank chimes in. "We can be your backup on here, in case something goes south and decides to backlash." He pauses. "Still wish I...we could go along. I'm with Caleb on the not looking for a tradeoff here."

It may not be obvious to everyone in the room...but Tefe' can surely read Hank's concern.

In other words he's not going to tell probably. Tefe doesn't mind, she's used to working with her own opinions and being left in the dark from others. Even if they share the information she doesn't process it the same way.

"When did you want to go?"

She gives Hank a smile and laces her fingers through his. It would be easier for her if he went but she remembers the way he screamed last time and how badly he was hurt.

"There will not be, Henry King," says Fate ... and if his tone sounds slightly more familiar, slightly more human when he addresses Brainwave then, well, surely that was just imagination, right?

"I have informed Gemma of our intentions," he says, to everyone. "We may leave when you are ready."

Sand walks over to Tefe, and gently rests a hand on her shoulder. "Be safe. Bring all of you home safely. And thank you for doing this."

[tefe-holland.livejournal.com]

"We'll bring her home." One thing they've learned about Tefe is she's almost insanely confident she will accomplish what she is trying to do.

"Don't worry."
