This is Nate, you know what to do. I'll...probably get back to you.

I'm stuck here for another hour or so until the next person arrives to watch the Clinic, but then I'll be able to start looking; I agree that the sooner the better.

[They're going to need as much time as they can get, probably. Lance would love to just go immediately, but he's one of the staff members capable of actually defending people here if necessary and he can't just leave until his replacement shows up.]

[It is evident that Nate isn't particularly happy that Lance can't drop everything all at once, but he suppresses it, swallows it, and shoves it away - he's got a responsibility, and frankly, Nate can get started without him. Nothing life-risking, but enough to do a little recon where he can.]

Okay.

[He nods, chewing his lip.]

I'll get in contact with the wizards. Let me know when you're off.

[He can tell that's not the answer Nate wanted, but that's the struggle of being responsible. Besides, Lance would never get over it if he bailed early and that happened to be the time someone showed up to murder one of the many clinic members on the Null's hit list.]

I'll send you a message about meeting up to trade Dr. Brennan's book.

[That's an easy excuse that won't be suspicious if the Null--or the gods, for that matter--are watching communications.]

[Nate doesn't have the same obligations that Lance has - in part he's grateful, but it also tends to make him considerably more anxious. It's that same sort of feeling he had back home, going to the same job every day no matter how much he liked the people. Like restless leg syndrome.]

Sounds good.

[Nate chews the question he has about Dr. Brennan writing a book before remembering that that's pretty on-brand for her.]

See you soon.
