[In the past, Nick has usually left this kind of information either to be shared by someone else, or found out gradually out of respect for those who've gone missing; however, given who it is who vanished this time, his position within the Guard, and his time within and dedication to the city, he figures he'd best say something. Henry deserves that.]

For those who knew him, Henry Percy is gone.

[A small pause. For all they knew, he could be back in a week, in a month, in a year... or not at all.]

Guardsmen, you're reporting to me for now.

[And a quiet sigh. He's not sure how he feels about that weight on his shoulders. Hell, he wasn't sure when he was appointed to the co-head of the organization. Guess he'd better figure it out now.]

That's all.

[The quietest of sighs.]

You make it sound as though I'd wish this place on anyone who didn't want to be here.

[ She snorts quietly. ]

You'd be surprised what people wish on others when they think they care about them. [ Or maybe he really wouldn't be. ]

People deal with the hurt in a lot of ways, and not all of them good.

[That'd be a no.]

How are you going to deal with it?

One day at a time until I figure it out. I can't say the possibility of this happening had never crossed my mind, but I hadn't really prepared for it.

I'd suggest drinking but... That's not a thing you can do, is it? [ She's pretty sure he wasn't your average Joe, something like an android, but she's not a hundred percent certain. ]

I can, but it doesn't do me much good. Then again, I don't suppose it does much good for most people, even those who aren't made of metal.

Ah, ok, you're one of those kinds of people. [ which is to say you have something negative to say about something dangerous like consuming too much alcohol and nah, man, nah. ]

You'll just have to keep yourself busy, then, I guess.

[He didn't, but he lets it slide.]

Guess so. At least there's ample opportunity for that, especially once those fragments get here.
