"Uh, unpack 'fall in love'? Are we talking about mind control?"

"It's destiny, so I don't know. If you want to dismantle the whole thing, you have to start with the Elders." 

Sigh. Felicia looks personally offended, in a way that makes her look more like Fernanda.

"Anyway, Dawad. What is the best way to approach him? Should we leave him be for now until it's obvious you're turned or dealing with him earlier is better than not?"

"I think we should do it sooner than later. I don't want them to assign me as a target."

Nod. "Best way to approach him?"

"He responds well to flattery. We need to find him while he's at the gym or the gun range."

"I vote gym, for obvious reasons."

"When do you want to go? We should be ready for a fight."

"Do you think we can take him before figuring out my power?"

"I'm hoping it doesn't come to a fight, but I can take him down if I have to. We shouldn't wait too long."

"Alright, I think at this point we should get Beatrix involved then."

"Sounds good. Think they're finishing up?"

"That is more intimate information about Lan's performance that I currently have, but I doubt Beatrix will be mad if I ask."

In another room of the house, finishing up a much more exciting activity, Lan tries to catch his breath.

"Wow. We should do that again. I mean more than the 'again' we already did it. Just, again. Wow."

Giggle. Kiss. "I approve. Gosh, if you behave I might even give you a praising recommendations to my sisters. Telling them that really ought to try sometime."

"I'm happy to keep the Halliwell sisters entertained. I can't think of a better purpose in life."

"Should we knock, or would that scare Solanke?"

"What? Do you think just barging in will scare him less?"

"It sounds more fun. Better on net happiness."

"Are you trying to catch Lan naked?"

"I don't think he'd enjoy it as much as I would. Let's knock."

Which he does.

"Right, the real world. Do you want to get that, or should I?"

"I will get that." She throws on a bathrobe on herself. Lan can get a towel that barely covers anything at all.

She opens the door.

"We have the beginnings of a plan. We can spend a couple of days training, but not more than that. I'm not risking bringing the entire forces of Hell down on us."
