Lhoris smirked at Faye's question, and replied "You'd be surprised just how many Witches use computers. To me, Excel spreadsheets are a lifesaver. You know how many paper ledgers I used to need to keep track of?"
She was a little saddened she wouldn't have access to the no doubt rare and expensive ingredients stored in the Faith Manor right now, but Michael seemed content to wait until he was back at HQ to receive a tonic, and time seemed to be of the esscence. She followed them to the car. As Lhoris sat in the back seat, she closed her eyes and appeared to be dozing again. Lhoris had done a lot of travelling in her long life. It used to take weeks to complete a single trip. Nowadays it takes hours. To her, humans always seemed to be soimpatient to be doing something during trips. Their lives were too short to take fifteen or more hours to close their eyes and relax a little. They got bored. They needed a more productive and engaging use of their time, so they had to fill the silence. Or make entertainment through games or books. To Lhoris, living like that sounded exhausting.
She opened her eyes when she heard the tone of Amanda's voice. So, the director of the OMR was coming to see them. Lhoris had witness the aging, retirement and,in some cases, passing of the other founding members. Nowadays, a lot of agents don't even know Lhoris herself is a founding member, partly due to her very low rank to be such. Lhoris was a reserve agent who mostly made potions to order. Not even middle-managent let alone a senior operative. Lhoris didn't know who the currect director was by name, as she'd never asked. It didn't affect her job and she'd be living through a lot more of them.
And they were likely fighting a God. That caught Lhoris' attention. She'd never tried to fight a God before. Because it was usually suicide. But this time, they must have a plan. Now she was beginning to understand just why she had been called down here. It wasn't just cleanup and healing. The OMR were going to need to play every card they have in their deck, Lhoris included, to stand a chance.
