The Trustworthy; Rachel calls a council.

It had been a long day. A longer night. She was running on fumes by the moment. And the thirst - oh, she had forgotten, how badly it could burn. The reasons she had taken child form now were as clear as fine-spun glass. But no time to regret.

~*~

Rachel gingerly slips on the black gown she had taken to, and sinks into the love seat in her private rooms. A twitch of a finger summons Nago to her side - faithful Nago, who had grown so worried now that she no longer carried her familiars with her everywhere. "Fetch Ragna, will you?" she asks, and too worried to dissent, the familiar takes flight.

Rachel closes her eyes and waits. By any reckoning, the coming argument will be a painful one.

A few minutes later, Ragna arrives, wearing a forced scowl. He crosses his arms as he approaches her. "'Sup, Rabbit? Make it quick, I need to talk to Tsu here."

Rachel looks at Ragna for a moment then offers a wry smile. "Very well. The mechanic and his band of scoundrels did not destroy the Cauldron. They accidentally drained it into Nu."

Ragna freezes, pale. "They...drained it into..."

All of the power of a Cauldron, all of the souls used to make it, contained within a single person. "You're shitting me, Rabbit."

Of course she wasn't. Rachel Alucard would never joke about something about something like this. "The hell does this..."

It means that his Grimoire is little more than a toy next to Nu, he realizes. And...he smirks. "On a scale of one to ten, how screwed is Hazama?"

Rachel smiles, amused. "Considering he still bears his lifelink? Four. But it is still a massive advantage, no doubt." Folding her legs, the vampiress continues. "There are a number of concerns that raises, though. Nu is now our most precious resource. With your permission, Ragna, I would like you to accompany her soon to test the defenses of the Air Corps base. That large glass sphere. It will be a fitting test of her newfound abilities, and you are the most likely to be able to protect her should her powers fall short."

Ragna's grin turns feral. "Oh, hell yes, I'm up for that. Piece of shit damn near vaporized me, so I wanna be there to watch it get destroyed."

He pauses, remembering how the flying fortress had damn near gotten him. And its method of aiming. "That said, I suggest we take Tsubaki along as well. She can totally shut down its main weapon, while otherwise we'd be screwed."

Rachel considers that for a moment, and nods slowly. "Presuming she is ready to fight against NOL forces in open combat, I can only approve of that concept. It is a more intelligent afterthought than I would have thought to come from you."

She glances at Ragna, almost . . . curious. "Has - she been treating you well?"

The question is curiously awkward.

Ragna blinks, confused. "Huh? What do you mean? Course she is; best thing that's ever happened to me."

Rachel's eyes lower and she glances at the far window of the room. "I'm glad. Truly. You have suffered much, Ragna, and it is time you found someone of your own. Would you care to retrieve her, then? I need to call Tager and Valkenhayn here so we can have some form of consensus."

Ragna nods and smirks again. "On it, rabbit."

As he heads back out, he pauses to grin back at her. "The moment we get rid of Terumi's life link, we've...we're finally winning this, Rachel."

With that, he disappears down the hall.
