[He says that lightly, but it's a cold, hard truth.]
But if you can think of anyone who might help out, send them my way. We could use all the help we can get these days, especially with the islands being so spread out. And there's no telling what'll come in down the road.
( Doesn't she know it. She's been here for longer than she'd like and the only person who knew where she grew up, really, was Henry. It was a kind of bond she didn't have with anyone else. )
Will do.
( She might also find her way there more often than she usually does. Just maybe/ )
( She's got some good staff, ones who she trusts to cover for her. Ones who will have to, soon enough.
Nick asks that question and she almost laughs. Is that even possible? People here are incredibly stubborn, when they want to be. )
Open day?
( It's said as a joke, but her brain ticks as soon as the words leave her mouth. Actually... Maybe. )
Invite people to see the headquarters, things you do. That you're not hiding holdin' cells or anything. Doubt you'll convince everyone, ( Not as long as Hadriel keeps inviting the kind of people who would cause trouble for the other residents. ) but—
[Not that the HQ isn't already open to the public, but no one particularly wanders up there unless they're looking for the Guard. A little advertisement might go a long way.]
( Could anything short of actually building a prison hurt? The guard's rep has never been... stellar. )
Could also try combat classes. ( She's not sure about that, and it shows in her tone, but it lets people spend time with guard members, which might... do... something? )
[Never been stellar, and most if it isn't even the Guard's fault. Most people just assume they're the cops immediately; always have, probably always will.]
We have a few of those, actually. Getting people to them is the real trick. You can lead a horse to water and whatnot.
[The Guard's motto ought to be Damned If We Do, Damned If We Don't.]
Drake is going to be heading them up now. I might see if I can get a few of the others on it, too.

[Henry had some close connections, ones Nick hasn't managed himself. He has some pretty big shoes to fill. ]
You got any advice on how to get people to stop thinking we're the cops?

Might want to advertise 'em again.
( The solution is obvious: cast an ad for it with Drake topless and sweaty. Watch the thirsty bitches roll in. )

[But he'll pass on putting Drake on the spot like that, thanks.]
