Nothing has expressly happened, no. I just wanted to discuss finances with you. Specifically, Haven's finances...in the potential of my absence.
I would like to ensure Haven will be taken care of if anything should happen to me. You're a businessman; you're crafty and cunning. I know that if something happens, you are reliable and resourceful. I'd like for you and another Dominant named Magnus Bane to monitor things financially to ensure it continues running and that its employees are paid.
We lost several people in the Fort, Sinbad. LIES can do a great deal to us. Whether these people have died, have disappeared, or are being held somewhere...
I just want things to be secure in case anything should happen.
[ He knew there had been some losses, but he wasn't certain who. ]
Of course I will help you, Neria. I can certainly be certain that things are set up to keep the place financially stable for you - even in the case of your absence. Do you have someone you trust to oversee the daily routines?
Those who are closest to me came out mostly unscathed. A man I met recently named Ravus disappeared. Archer and Lancer, as well as their Dominant partners, vanished before the hunt. Many of these people were very powerful. Some were even compliant with the rules.
[ In short, no one is safe, even if they follow Duplicity's every whim. But they've all learned that, really. ]
Cehd'ra Rowe will be in charge of overseeing daily tasks. I am hoping Anders will be able to oversee direct care to patients. These are all Dominants but I also have Ivy Valentine and Zexion, two marked as Submissives, who can oversee any other difficulties in-house. Ezio Auditore has been one of our main suppliers, also a Dominant. I believe he can secure that route.
My partner, Ereuvir Valbanise... If something happens to me, please, reach out to him. See that he's all right and help him find another partner. He deserves the world and I want him to be safe.
I know what I'm asking a great deal from you. I'm sorry.
[ Sinbad has so much in his own life but, truly, she trusts him to do this for her. ]
Darling heart, I have no intention of going anywhere. But I need to be prepared in case the worst should occur. Make no mistake, I'll fight to remain with all of you for as long as I can.
Don't be sorry. That you think to plan for such circumstances only speaks more highly of you.
As will I. To be fair, if I have any say in the matter, I'm not sure it would be wise for me to return home, so staying here may be my best option, even if this place is... well. This place.
If that is true, then this world should not - cannot - be a home for you. There must be somewhere else you can go where you might be safe, you and your loves.

putting this pre-Anders convo since she'll be a wreck after it

I suppose that's a matter for some debate. Let's just say... it's probably better for everyone if I don't return to my home world.

Don't worry about me, Neria. I'm adaptable.
