"Thank him for me, would you?"

"I will" The steward says "Oh, Grete is so sweet, She remembered PRAYER Rugs"

A bright smile. "Grete is a smart cookie."

"I didn't even THINK of it' Hope clearly feels aghast

"Isn't it grand we have a whole team to work together? Not any one of us can think of everything."

"Most impressive, but, what will we do with them all?" Grey asks "The mortals in particular can't stay for weeks on end, theyv'e already been in the trods. Theyll be dream struck"

"I'm not sure yet. We might be able to get them placed in programs - maybe Jude has connections?"

"The US is still risky for refugees, but Canada, maybe..."

"Well, there must be something we can do for them if they need to stay here" Hope fusses "Work visas?"

"Hume at Earth Runes might be able to make some records... and our sluagh..."

"I'll see if I can find Wencenslais" Grey nods

"Cliff might know something about paper work, I'm not saying his food doesn't undergo the health inspectors legitmately, but...well" Hope shrugs

"And we need some skilled practitioners of chicanery for the mortals..."

"The mists will do much, but they will need a story."

"Crazy rich lady swoops down in the middle east and flies them all out hundred dollar bills?" Stu chimes

"That is an option, yes."

"Stu, what are you doing here?" Hope says

"Well, they said no guys should go near the women so I thought if i wore a wig?"

"If we move fast enough we could insert some of them into the groups which have been airlifted out by the army..."

"Brilliant" Grey nods "I think some of the locals here are military retirees. Hope?"

"I know someone who still has connections with a military base clerk" Hope snaps her fingers

"They wouldn't be expected to have papers and visas then, and they are clearly true refugees..."

"That might be hard on the kithain, but for the mortals?"

"Much much easier" A nod
