Lance and I already agreed to revisit it once he had some viable alternatives to offer. Attempting to take children for undiscussed walks didn't appear on any of the lists he never gave me.
Ultimately it's Morningstar's decision while we're reliant on their resources to be able to integrate into this world, but if anyone has a suggestion that might offer greater comfort without jeopardising safety or security in the future I'll be happy to help fine tune it and communicate it to El.
Thank you.

[ Some time later, maybe while he's getting a bedsheet in an attempt to get her to calm down a little. ]
think something happened with lance. keep it under your hat.

I'm being a little dramatic.
[Shockingly, like Lance is ever slightly dramatic.]
You had the right idea by avoiding them. I got dragged into things because Maketh wanted my input on how to deal with someone who was a problem, but the moment my input conflicted with how she wanted to deal with it, things went downhill.
Eventually, I discovered she was aware of one her contacts--Hux--planning to kill someone for a Null weapon, and that she was going to allow it to happen. So that information was passed onto Nick, and that's why Henry was temporarily in charge until both he and Maketh disappeared. Of course I have reason to believe Henry was also to some extent aware of Maketh's behavior and purposefully ignoring it, so it was a relief when it was just Nick left.

[ at some point later on-- ]

Heh. So've I. Kinda disappointing how they don't offer you the blindfold and the cigarette like they do in cartoons.
[Wade sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. It's a few seconds before he trusts himself to answer.]
I just... I don't even know what to do with this, man! When I found your brother randomly sleeping at our place without so much as a warning, I didn't wanna say anything because of... y'know, the last time I tried to pry. I figured you'd tell me what was going on eventually. And then all of a sudden it was like, okay-- we're getting a new place that'll accommodate all three of us. And I probably should've said something about that, but like... he's your brother. I didn't wanna split you guys up, not after what you told me you went through. Wasn't gonna be that asshole, regardless of how I felt about it.
[Wade's voice has been steadily increasing in volume and intensity with every sentence, and he suddenly gets to his feet and begins to pace.]
But now I find out that you're working for the fucking mob-- on a public forum, even, not even in a private setting-- and just... what the fuck am I even supposed to do with all this? It's frustrating, being kept in the dark like this, and the most frustrating part is that I don't even know if I'm allowed to be frustrated!
