Mitch excuses himself to Dennis and picks up his phone "Hello, this is Mitch speaking. How can I help you?"

"Mitch, it's your favorite cowboy. We got a lady that wants to talk 'bout gettin' some friends home, and she needs a contact point that our 'dandy' acquaintance can use. Sounds like we might get a little help on our own missing person, too, if things go right. Mind if I give 'em your number?"

He's trusting on Mitch's Seraph gift to see past his superficial language to the real meaning, particularly that Dando wants to arrange repatriation for the remaining Ethereals and may still be willing to talk about bringing the absent one of Odin's men back to the Marches .

While Kane talks to Mitch, Sunae makes another call to Ryuki.

Watashi wa anata o tsutaeru no o wasurete, Guren wa, watashi wa meikakuna anata no tame ni atta to iu hon ya bin o totta. Watashiitachiha, tonikaku kare ni kansuru ta no mono no tame ni anata no tasuke ga hitsuyō ni narudarou. Watashi wa atode watashitachi to aitai. Watashi wa sonogo, setsumei shimashou.

Translation: I forgot to tell you, Glen took the books and the jars that I made clear were for you. We're going to need your help for other things concerning him anyway. I would like you to meet with us later. I'll explain then.

The young Kyriotate of Destiny had been left deeply confused by events after the fighting between the elder angels over the Ethereals. It didn't want to get lost, so it divided itself into various pigeons and kept them close by the angels remaining in town as they separated. That way it wouldn't be lost and would be on hand if it was needed.

God bless multiplicity! And this way it could give multiple observations to its' teachers when it got home. If it got home. It wasn't sure if it was allowed to go home at this point. It wasn't sure about a lot of things really. But it was here to help! That was the important part.

Luckly by now Mitch is used to parsing Kane's way of speaking "Of course, feel free to give them my number. Also, do you happen to know if Ryuki is in town? Or perhaps in San Francisco?"

He answers in polished, businesslike Japanese. ((Not translating since there's no PC who could overhear him right now. As always, correct me if I'm wrong.)) "Don't worry--they're probably safer with him than they are with angels. At least Glen knows what they are. And," there's a grin in his voice, a touch of gallows humor, "he's going to need your help quite soon I think. We play this right and he'll thank you for taking them off his hands." As always, he's keeping his ace hidden, but at least he's tipped you that he has one.

"I'm at the office, expecting him and one other person, from IHS," he uses the term from before, which reminds you that the secretary Nicole might be listening in on him. "If you 'coincidentally' show up just after Glen gets here, that could make things easier for all concerned."

"Sounds like he's on the other line. Hold on a sec." He covers the phone, looks at Sunae, nods at her own call. There's only one person she'd likely be speaking to in Japanese about something like this.

Where is he? Kane mouths to her.

There is a look of surprise on her face and she answers him with a bit of humour in her voice

" Keikoku konotabiha makotoni arigatōgozaimashiita. Anata ga sorera o dono yōna jikan o kitai shiite iru? "

Translation: Thank you for the warning this time. What time are you expecting them?

Kane nods again. "Sounds like he's back at work," he tells Mitch over the phone. "You know how to get him there?"

He replies in Japanese. "Not at the same time, if I'm lucky. Glen, in about a half hour depending on traffic, the guy from IHS about an hour later."
