The necklace has a translation charm on it. So as far as she's concerned, we're all speaking Russian right now.
[Hence, why you need to take it off when she's learning English, otherwise ... the charm will do all the work for her. She's too young to understand the difference of actively speaking another language.]
The Underground has resources. If I show you a picture of the door, can you open one even if you've never been there?
[David nods. "I just need to see the door."
Alexander nods as well, before glancing back to Jackson.]
Text Annie for me? Tell her we're going to have a big group incoming.
[Then back to the rest of the group.]
It'll be easier if we skip the train. Jackson and I can go with them and we can jumpstart trying to find their families.
["That just leaves Irina," Rusty looks over at the husbands. "You know you can't take her home, right? At least not right now. Once the Inner Circle finds out Kirsanov is dead, you don't want to have anything that connects you to the murder. Plus, she's still a vessel. I know you said you had the corpse destroyed but we don't want to give them the opportunity to go looking for a loophole."]
( Incoming. Twenty - thirty formerly imprisoned cryptids. We need a full history work-up on all of them.
Max eyes the little girl, and Parrish starts to herd the rest of the group closer, letting them know it will only be a matter of time.
Ezra sighs, wanting to be able to help this girl, but knowing Rusty is right.
"We aren't that decision now. She comes with us on the train. We'll take the ride to decide where we can take her. Somewhere safe. I'm not making this decision on a whim." As far as he's concerned, he's putting his foot down.
"We can bring the network into it," he adds. "Between everyone, there is somewhere safe she can be for the time being."
He doesn't say if they should find out her ancestry. He doesn't want to know if she was bred to be a vessel and not born for any other natural reason. )
[Annie sends back a thumbs up emoji and will go rally the troops.
Alexander nods.]
If you decide to use option Underground, Lydia knows how to reach us.
[David nods, before passing Irina off to his husband, and gesturing towards the nearest door in the train station, which happens to be a bathroom but they'll just use it for the needed purpose. "Let's set up getting these people out over here."
With Jackson heading back with Alexander, Lydia moves forward to give him a parting hug. "Thank you again for coming."]
[It's still early, but things seem to be working out pretty well, in her opinion. It's hard not to be increasingly fond of a man who's willing to go to bat with you in something this messy.]
because it's been a while, actually. and he likes what he stumbled into. and he likes alexander. he likes being in the middle of it. he likes being needed. he always needed to be needed, he just didn't know.
he gives her a hug before taking his place at the back of the bunches of cryptids. he'll go in last. )
[They all make their way through the door, and David closes it quietly behind Jackson just as the train pulls up to take them back to Moscow. He looks back at the rest of the group, before sighing quietly and nodding.]

Jackson gives her a patended smirk.
"What's a little subterfuge between best friends." He nods to Harvey. "You and the suit?" )

Okay. Let's get out of here.
[They all have a lot they need to talk about.]
