She thought about his plan for the night. They could bring Chen along, but she thought it was best to leave him behind bars...or in some dark hole he could not crawl out of. "Dungeon. Didn't know you had one.." She cocked her head to the side as if she meant a different kind of dungeon altogether, but her choice for where to leave Mr. Chen was clear. As they walked the streets back to the door they had come through, she mimed a few times to concerned people that the man that Pace carried had simply drunk too much. It made them look like concerned friends rather than kidnappers.<br/><br/>"She's not that kind of friend," Nora said, as they approached the door that she knew could be used as a passageway for more than what it appeared. Sera was probably the best choice, though Nora could already feel her sister disapproving of what she had done to get herself into this predicament.<br/><br/>As they stepped through the door, they were transported back to the place of his domain. Nora felt some relief in that, because whatever this creature was she got the sense that Pace had the most control and the most power here. "You acquaint Mr. Chen with his new living arrangements and I'll make the call, see if she's free."  Nora said, wondering if her cellphone would actually work from here. She pulled it out of her bag and thumbed to her favorites, pressing Sera's name.<br/><br/>Her younger sister picked up on the third ring.<br/><br/>"Huh. You feel weird." Seraphina commented before Nora could even manage to say "Hello."<br/><br/>"Uh-uh, no empath-y stuff over the phone. I'm sort of in a jam and you were always better with binding, so I was wondering if you could help me out."<br/><br/>"Maybe, do you just need like the spell, or like...in-person help?"<br/><br/>"In person. I'm shit with binding and you always had a talent for it." Nora responded.<br/><br/>"Where are you, last I checked you were in Lousianna hunting rogue wolves, right? That's gonna be a long flight..."<br/><br/>"I'm...off the grid, and it won't take long for you get here. I'll ask my..." Nora paused. What the fuck was she supposed to call Pace? Boss? Friend? Fuck-buddy? "...My companion for directions. He owns a place that sits on a ley line, so I'm betting we just have to find the right door in London. I'll text you once we're ready?"<br/><br/>"Okie dokie. Tobias is at a Society meeting tonight anyways, so I'm open." Seraphina said.<br/><br/>"Yeah, probably best not to bring the demon boyfriend."<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 15px">"Fiancé" Sera corrected. "And half-demon. Be nice."<br/>
<br/>
"I'm always nice. Love you." Nora said, hanging up before Sera could say more. Nora actually liked Tobias, but it was still strange to think of her sweet and wholesome sister in love with a man who had darkness in his veins. Deep down, she knew that was why the two of them worked, the balance of darkness and light between them, but it was more fun to poke at the differences than it was to accept them.<br/>
<br/>
Once that was finished, she went to find Pace again.  <br/>
<br/>
"If you get the drinks, which I'm sure you have plenty of, I can do the scrying." Nora rarely came unprepared and she had got the sense that this was going to be more than a date. To be honest, she got the sense nearly everything was more than met the eye when it came to Pace. <br/>
<br/>
Nora moved out into the empty bar, set her small black bag down on the table and began to rifle through its contents until she produced what looked like a folded map and a bit of quartz attached to a long chain. The map was much too big for the bag, but it did not seem ruffled by the size of the bag. Nora had purchased a variety of bags and wallets from a woman who could make just about any style of bag appear much bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. The kids that played D&amp;D would have probably called them a "Bag of holding" but Nora never bothered much with tabletop roleplay.<br/>
<br/>
She unfolded the map and smoothed it out onto the table, it seemed to shimmer as she did so, showing that there was definitely more to it than simple paper.<br/>
<br/>
Nora held the gem on the chain up, she had not touched Mr. Chen, but Pace had. "When you're ready, I'm just gonna need a literal hand here. We can use whatever energy he expended trying to kill us both as the conduit, you're probably still covered in it."</span>
