[Sigh. Give him a moment to change the settings--]
Considering people come back from the dead here I can't imagine you want one for safety reasons, so it has to be something else, and with how drastic this option is it must also be something serious or pressing. What's going on?
( She's not going to argue the whole thing about Hope very much being mortal and their resurrections being no more guaranteed tomorrow than they are back home again, mostly because it's exhausting and beside the point. So, instead, Kate copies the same message she sent Lup, with one minor change. )
Tear in the soul. Running out of time. First thing in months that actually sounded like it might stop it.
( Past tense. She's very not willing to put Carlisle through the things the others have explained. She can't have him die, but there are things worse than death.
Apparently the consequences of this thing are included in that. )
[Well, that sounds distinctly familiar, and not only that but it puts another piece of the puzzle together and Lance knows suddenly exactly who Kate is trying to help and why.
He does note the past tense, which is reassuring, but--]
Did you tell your friend you were going to ask about something like this?
[He's guessing the answer is no, and he's also not making any attempt to pretend he doesn't know who she's talking about. The only reason he's not naming names is on the unlikely chance that he's wrong, and he doesn't want to out Carlisle if so.]
[...None of that is a surprise, including her response.]
I know you asked about this out of a desire to help, but you have to talk to your friend about these sorts of things first. What they're dealing with is difficult enough without other people taking actions on their behalf that they may not approve of, no matter how good the intentions are.
Thta's good. But just asking about potential options without their permission is an issue; a sense agency is incredibly vital in dealing with something like a terminal illness, or something similar to it, and so being able to choose what actions to take regarding it is something you need to allow your friend to have.
[He rolls his eyes at the comment, but decides not to explain that just because he's a psychologist it doesn't mean that everything he says is automatically therapy. But he thinks she probably gets that, and is just deflecting, so instead--]

Because she is. )
I'm not doing anything. Already heard enough reasons not to.
( Kate. That is not the point. )

( GDit Katherine it's not his fault you're a moron. )

It can be.
