"....indeed." Hal replied.

"I shall, in fact, not begin work on this until I know for certain as to whether or not he wishes to do this." he told her.

He then thought for a moment.

"Shall I call him up here?" he asked.

"Or would you rather discuss it with him privately?" he asked further.

"If the latter, I can have someone escort you to his dorm, as that's where he tends to spend a good portion of the day." he offered.

"Hmmmmmmm." Hal muttered.

"Indeed." he said.

"Normally R&D would have made something for him to camouflage his... well, his looks... but his DNA and mana are... strange. Nothing seems to have worked properly." he admitted.

"So yes, I can understand your worries." he told her.

"Don't you worry, he has proper I.D. already, and I can make sure the proper paperwork is done up for immigration from here to Canada." he went on.

"Give me... a month, at most." he said.

"I should have everything ready to go."

Hal raised an eyebrow when Kalin made her suggestion.

"Admittedly, you offering him a place to stay surprises me." he said.

"After all he's done to your family and yourself, one would think you'd be among those that wouldn't even lift a finger to try and help him in any way." he told her.

"That being said, if you are truly willing to put him up, then I won't object or stand in your way." he then said.

"I'll help in any way I can." he then informed her.

"What do you need?" he asked.

Hal shook his head.

"The lodgings we offer can be long-term, yes, but they are never intended to be permanent." he told her.

"They're intended to be a sort of halfway point. A step towards getting one's own place and integrating into society." he continued.

"So him moving out is optimal." he said.

"Why?" he asked.

"Oh, and it's good that he's doing well with his appointments." he then added.

"I'm glad progress is being made."

"Welcome again, Miss Calder." Hal greeted Kalin.

"Please have a seat." he offered, to which she accepted.

"An offer you say. Regarding Jenkins." he then went on.

"Interesting." he said.

"Proceed." he urged her.

"I doubt it." Rene replied.

"I'm getting a lot done. So I should be finished at a reasonable hour." he told her.

He then smiled and leaned in close to her, giving her a kiss.

"Love ya, babe." he said.

"I'll see you and Adrienne when I get home." he told her further.

"Thanks again for the food." he added.

"Oh, no." Rene responded.

"No way am I missing THAT." he told her.

"I booked tomorrow off specifically for that, and NOTHING is keeping me from it." he assured her further.

"Our little girl is going away by herself. How can I NOT be there to wish her luck?" he then asked rhetorically with a chuckle.

"Even though she WILL have Leo and Nakia there to help her and such." he added, shaking his head again.

"Regardless, I will be at the dinner, and a house guest is fine." he shrugged.

"Again, we've done it before." he reasoned.

Rene just sighed deeply.

"Things are hectic here." he said, before pausing, and looking at the clock.

"...and I still need to take lunch." he commented.

"Guess this is quite fortuitous." he said further, exhaling slightly.

"Been a while since I had that curry. You always know just how to pick a guy's mood up." he laughed.

"And... company?" he asked. "What do you mean, company? Like... a house guest?" he asked. "If so, you know my stance on them. We've had then before. It's been fine."

Rene jumped slightly when the woman spoke.

"Ah! Kalin!" he exclaimed.

"....guess this shows how distracted I am." he muttered, shaking his head.

"When did you get here?" he asked as she carried something to him.

"...and lunch?" he then asked with a smirk.

"Smells gooood." he said, sniffing the air around what she'd brought.

"Yeah, love you too." Ash replied, returning the kiss.

"Talk to you when you get back." he said.

"I might have some more answers regarding Jenkins' presence here by the time you get back." he added.

Rene sighed as he sat down in his chair behind his desk in his office at the hospital.

"Whew." he exhaled.

"Finally, a break." he said, grabbing a bottle of water and taking a drink.

"Just 5 minutes before I need to do some paperwork." he mumbled, shaking his head.

Ash just nodded.

"Sure." he replied.

"Just be careful if you go south." he told her.

"I think there's a bit of a tropical storm brewing close to the equator." he continued.

"I know you flying that far is rare, but I also know you can lose track of things and end up pretty far from home." he added with a small laugh.

"Want something waiting for you when you get back?" he asked.

"Name it, I'll make it." he told her.

"Even corndogs." he added with a small grumble to his tone.

"......" Ash was silent, and sighed.

"Yes. One can argue you are alone. The last remaining dark elf left alive." he told her.

"But... at least you're not alone, overall." he said further.

"You still have all of us, after all." he reasoned.

"And I'm sorry to have dropped so much on you so suddenly." he then apologised.

"But... I had no idea how to do it smoothly. So I just... did it."

Ash just sighed.

"I can think of two ways to confirm it." he told her.

"We either get Casey to talk to either of the reapers, and they can tell us whether or not Vanessa is dead and gone." he said.

"Or we talk to the demon that Agent Sharp has under his employ, Azazel, as I'm sure HE'D know about the goings-on in Hell." he offered.

"But it genuinely seems that things are as they say." he went on.

"I don't know what else to say."

"There's a lot to say." Ash responded.

He then took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and exhaled it. After doing do, he proceeded to tell Ashley everything that she had missed in the past year that had been erased from her mind.

Everything.

"...so there you have it." he then said after he'd reached the end.

"Vanessa's dead, it's Chris's fault, she had tried to use you to carry on her will, but Gaea showed up and took it all out from you." he summarised.

"I guess Chris is here to try and... I dunno, build a life that doesn't revolve around being a pawn?" he suggested with a shrug.
