Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Hal miss-stepped for a second, most likely due to not expecting such a request, but he corrected himself immediately, and nodded.

"Of course." he said.

"You have my word that I will look out for him and help protect him as best I can." he told her.

"And yes, he IS working today." he confirmed. "You can head to his office after you finish your business with the R&D department." he suggested, as they continued down the corridors.

"Also, that is a fair point on your teleportation mana." he sighed. "If you like, when we finish your business here, I can arrange for transportation to anywhere in Europe you like." he offered.

"Assuming you haven't already arranged transportation."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I haven't." Casey told him honestly.

"I was going to just ask Kiah for a lift somewhere, if I'm being honest." She added after a moment or two.

"Because... yeah. I'm not going to cause anywhere to go without power just because I wanted somewhere quick." She added after a moment before pausing.

"... could you help with a paper trail?" She asked.

"I would rather not have one, but if the money I'm using is in a card, I'm going to need one."

Hal nodded in response.

"I can." he said.

"We have small corporate planes ready for whatever reason." he told her, before pausing and thinking about it.

"...actually..." he mumbled.

"I recall that Agent King is leaving early this afternoon to investigate something in Scotland." he remembered. "Is there anywhere specific in Europe you wish to be dropped off at?" he asked her.

"They can do a stopover to drop you off if you like."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"No. Nowhere specific." Casey admitted.

".... admittedly, hitching a ride with him would likely be a good idea." She added.

"If only just because he's one of the only people I'd say are safe around me right now. Him and his inability remain dead, and all." She commented.

"Just... let me know when. and please make sure he's ok with it. If it he isn't, I won't do it. Plain and simple."

"He will be." Hal stated with certainty, taking out his phone and sending what she guessed was a text. And probably to the man in question.

"He's slated to catch the plane at 2:00 this afternoon." he told her.

"He'll be leaving in a couple of hours, and you can ride with him there as well." he said further.

"And yes, being a regenerator DOES give him some protection. Not to mention he has NO mana, so he flies RIGHT under their radars." he added with a light chuckle.

"But. Is Scotland all right with you?" he asked. "Or do you prefer somewhere else in Europe?" he inquired further. "My pilots are pretty good about last-minute route alterations. Seriously, they're amazing. Worth every penny I pay them."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Scotland is just as good as anywhere else." Casey commented with a sigh.

"And it's near to Lux if I need to stop by there." She added after a moment or two.

"But seriously. Thank you. I will repay you for this if I live to see the end of ... well... this bullshit we've gotta deal with now."

"I'll hold you to it." Hal said to her, showing his confidence that they WOULD survive this. Outwardly, anyway.

With that, they arrived at R&D, and Hal's cell phone chimed. He looked at it and sighed quietly.

"Excuse me a moment." he told her. "Seems I'm needed elsewhere in the building right now." he said. "However, when you're finished your business with R&D, and meeting with your son, come to my office." he continued.

"I'll have your travel arrangements planned for you." he finished, as they saw Ilias heading towards the door.

"Talk to you later." he finished, with a kind smile.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Thank you, Hal." Casey said, her voice sincere before she noticed Ilias. She waved to say hello.

"I'll make sure to head up to your office afterward, don't worrry." she added.

"I ain't gonna bail on help." She sighed, gave him a quick hug, since they were technically family, before stepping back.

"Go do what you need to. I'll see you later."

Hal returned the hug and nodded at her.

"You're welcome, Casey." he responded, before heading off, as Ilias opened the door, watching Hal leave.

"He get called away or something?" the gorgon-kin asked.

"Yeah." Casey responded.

"Fair enough. Anyway, come in, come in." he then said, stepping out of the way so she could.

"And hello and welcome to the R&D department."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Casey stepped in with a sigh.

"I know you guys are good with glamours, so... if I can get any decent ones, it'd be here, I'm sure." She commented.

"How've you been, anyway? we haven't really chat for... quite awhile, to be honest. It kinda sucks."

"Well, we DO have our separate lives." Ilias responded. "But yes, I agree that we should be keeping up with each other more." he admitted, as Helena squirmed out from beneath his hair and extended towards Casey.

"...Helena remembers you." he chuckled.

"And yes, we are amazing with glamours." he then said. "Since Blair started working here, our glamours have been some of the best EVER." he laughed.

"I'm sure we can provide you with whatever you want or need." he continued.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Yeah... Blair is damned good with them." Casey agreed.

"And thanks. I know this is sudden and short notice and all." She added after a moment or two.

"Don't sweat it. You're family, Casey." Kiah commented from where she was.

"Come on. Let's get you set up." She then said before heading into one of the lab rooms there.

The three of them entered the room, and once they were seated, Ilias grabbed a clipboard.

"Now then, what sort of things are you looking for?" he asked.

"What kind of person are you aiming to look like? Do you just wish your feline features hidden?" he asked further. "And yes, I realise that these questions may be stupid or obvious, but... it's protocol." he lamented.

"Also, what... well, what do you want the glamour to BE?" he then inquired.

"A ring, a broach, an earring or two, a bracelet, what?" he asked her. "We can do... pretty much anything." he chuckled.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Casey just sighed.

"I'm on a time limit, so I doubt anything too complex can be done." She commented.

"But ideally, I want a randomiser. Something that I can put on, and changes like... when I want it to, every midnight, or something like that. That way I don't have to keep bouncing between glamours." She continued.

"... Casey, what are you wanting the glamour for...?" Kiah asked after a second or two, making the catgirl just sigh.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to be like Vincent, or Rowena, were... nomadic." She told them honestly.

"And the glamours?" Kiah then followed up with.

"To protect myself. I assume you know what's going on in the world now." Casey answered. After they nodded, she just sighed.

"I'm the strongest necromancer on the planet. It's easy to believe they'd come after me to be a bridge. I don't want to be caught up ion this... so... I'm going to just... try not to."

"..." Ilias was silent for a moment, and then sighed heavily.

"Right." he said. "If we talk to Blair now, and get to work, we should be able to get something like what you want done in... an hour or so." he told her. "And it'll be a ring, as that's the simplest to make, really." he continued.

"...so you're going to try and go into hiding, huh?" he then asked her quietly.

"I... can't say as I'm surprised." he admitted.

"But it's a shame you feel the need to do this." he went on.

"We'll do all we can to try and maximise your chances of going undetected."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"To put it very simply, I don't want to add MORE risk those I live with." Casey commented. "So... so I'm leaving. I'll still be contact with my phone and shit, but ... yeah." She added.

"And Thanks." She added. "I do appreciate it." There was definite sincerity to her voice, and it was hard to ignore.

Sure enough, an hour later, Blair gave her a ring.

"Lemme know if it works well for you." He said as he leaned forward a bit. Casey just sighed lightly as she slid it onto her finger, finding it a perfect fit, before looking into the mirror.

"... well, I'll miss the feline features, but at least I look normal, I suppose." She commented. "But really? You had to choose blonde?"

"Hey, I always wanted to see what you looked like blonde. Can't say I disprove." Blair responded, which net a sigh from Casey.

"don't worry! It's not permanent. Seriously. the glamour is on a rotation. You'll have 4 days with this look, then it'll rotate to another. It's easily my most advanced glamour yet, and I can't say I did badly." He told her honestly.

"I could kiss you right now." was all Casey said.

"Sorry, dear. You're not my type. Missing some equipment." Blair responded with a light chuckle.

"But I get the sentiment." he told her.

"Anyway, you said you were going to talk to Evan." he then said. "From what I've been told, you have an hour to do so, and probably should right now." he suggested with a sigh.

"He'll be even sadder if you leave without saying goodbye." he lamented.

"And take care of yourself, okay?" he asked.

"I don't want anything happening to my future mother-in-law, and the best mother I've had in my life."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Don't worry Blair. I've been through more than just avoiding some fallen angels." Casey assured him.

"I'll be fine. In the end." She added. "Totally not gonna be thrilled for the first bit, obviously." She added before just giving him a hug.

"I'll catch ya later. Take care of my boy, and yourself." With that, she pulled back, pausing a moment.

"wanna walk with me up there? I don't know the way."

Blair returned the hug, let go when she pulled back, paused, and nodded.

"Sure." he replied.

"I can afford to be away for 5 minutes." he told her.

He quickly alerted the others there that he'd be disappearing for a short bit, and the two of them left the department, making their way towards Evan. As they walked, Casey felt a familiar mana that was getting stronger and stronger... until Azazel turned a corner.

"Woah!" he exclaimed, almost running into them.

"Sorry 'bout that." he apologised.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Hey Az." Casey greeted.

"Wanna walk with me? Let this one get back to work?" She asked after a moment or two.

"Not that I don't appreciate your company and all," She then said to Blair, who just raised both hands.

"Not a problem. I get it. You two are friends, and shit like that." Blair commented.
