Felicia gives him a shoulder hug. "Okay. Okay.  So we scry for him and convince him to join our side?"

"Korbrant is a decent guy. Honestly, he's a pushover. If we tell him to do something, he'll do it. That's part of why I don't want to have to send him to do this. It's just that anyone else has good reasons to hate me."

"The joys of being evil. Okay, when he is mostly likely to leave the house so we can have a chat?"

"He usually wanders the city after lunch. Hayden will be at work by then."

"Okay. That gives us a timeframe. How do you expect us approaching him to turn out?"

"I shouldn't do the talking. Felicia, you can introduce yourself as my girlfriend. He knows you're a Charmed One, and that you don't know about me. If I know Kor, he'll want to warn you."

"At least that doesn't sound too complicated."

"What if Hayden or Liam show up?"

"Better idea, I stay in the car in case something goes wrong, and Felicia pretends to be my oblivious, concerned girlfriend."

"Ask Kor about the companies Rex has been keeping. How he seems to get into weird fights and friends dying. I did find suspicious myself." Fernanda suggests.

"Sounds about right. If you get into trouble, just freeze everything and scream for help."

Nod. "I assume that they wouldn't do anything to overt in broad daylight, right?"

"I keep forgetting how little you know. Warlocks, demons, and witches live among mortals. They never really notice, and when they do, they just write it off. Korbrant won't try anything, but Liam might murder you in the street and get away with it."

"Felicia, your new hubby keeps the worst company."

"Yeah, yeah," Felicia says with an uncharacteristic sour humor, "this masquerade business is sure annoying. Should I just spring on Kor that we already know and are... recruiting?"

"Sure, we can tell him, if we can get Hayden on board. I don't think she'll listen to you, though. You're an idealist."

"So we need to matchmake her with Fernanda?"

"Not the word I'd use. We don't need to make Liam any madder than he's already going to be. Any other major points to cover?"

"You never actually mentioned what the others can do."

"Liam is pretty basic. Standard super-strength, plus a temper. I'm not sure I've seen the limits of what Hayden can do, but assume that on top of super strength, she can summon terrifying bone monsters as minions. Korbrant turns invisible. Dawad isn't even superpowered. His teeth are sharper than the average human's."

"Okay, that sounds... manageable."

"This can wait until tomorrow. I want to spend today with my fiancée."

Fernanda gives him a look that is more unimpressed than usual. "I suppose we can take a while longer to prepare. Maybe stock on potion ingredients."

"And process... things."

Theo hugs Felicia and doesn't offer any more input on tomorrow's events.
