Peace be with you, Anders.

[ Rhys' voice is steady, the fact that he never does video working to his advantage now. ]

Cullen isn't in the city any longer.

I trust you can figure out what needs to be done about Haven?

[apurrstate]

[Oh.]

And with you, Rhys, I-

[He's been through this more than once and even more recently. Yet this feels so much like with Fenris: uncomfortably sharp, as kindly as the words come, that he falters before folding it all under practicality.]

I'm sorry.

I'll handle Haven. I'll put up a notice. Tomorrow, probably, so don't worry about that part.

Is there anything I can do for you in the meantime?

[in_sects]

No, there's--

Actually.

I need Dominant permission to continue my employment. Would you be willing to do that?

[apurrstate]

Of course. I'll write up permission for employment and purchasing autonomy. Are they letting you keep the house, at least?

[in_sects]

No. It's rented. I have a month. They made David move out right away.

[apurrstate]

Alright, then you're welcome to stay with us for a bit after that, if you need. We have a couple spare rooms. We'll try to make this as easy as possible, I won't let them throw you to the wolves.

[in_sects]

That's an unanticipated kindness. And an undeserved one.

[apurrstate]

You've done nothing to not deserve kindness, Rhys, at the very least from me. We might not always see eye-to-eye, but I respect you. The very least I can do is offer a helping hand.

[in_sects]

Thank you.

I'll try to have things sorted by then, though.

[apurrstate]

Alright. Take care, Rhys.

And thank you for telling me.
