Ellis also looked uncertain before nodding, turning to Jaz with a bright smile. “You and me? No problem.”
“I want you leaving by tonight,” he said idly, “and I expect it to take about a week, so pack, say goodbye to your loved ones, and get the car ready.”

Jaz turned to leave, going to return to Lucy. He went off to find her. *** Blaise was in her room at her desk writing notes.
Lucy was in her workroom, standing on a table to try and fix the lantern in her ceiling, humming quietly. * * * Ellis knocked on her door a few times.
She looked down at him with a small smile, the cut on her jaw mostly healed. "Hey, J!" * * * Ellis was at the door, looking down at her. "Hey."
She sat on the edge of the table, reaching out for him. "What are you doing?" * * * "I do. What are you up to?"
He went to her, taking her hands. "Well.. I have a mission I have to leave for tonight." *** She stepped aside and let him in. "Just taking notes. What about you?"
She looked dismayed, cupping his jaw in her hands. "A mission? Is that safe?" * * * "Emerson just put me on a mission, so I have to leave you for a while."
"As safe as they usually are.. It'll just be me and Ellis for a week." *** She frowned. "Really? How long?"
She frowned, her hands resting on his chest. "That sucks..." * * * "Emerson thinks it will take about a week."
She frowned, kissing his cheek. “Okay... when do you leave?” *** “Of course. I’m super cool like that.”
She frowned, her legs resting on either side of his waist and her arms draped over his shoulders. “That sucks.” *** “But I need to go pack. Do you want to come with me?”
