[He knows he can't stop Wynonna, so he doesn't try to dissuade her. Instead he just takes a breath and scans around until he finds the familiar redhead and knocks lightly on the doorframe to her office.]
The slightly ajar door creaks open further as he nods. Aalys hangs up the phone at her desk, looking up. She waves him in. Eyes Wynonna, but doesn't ask her to stay outside, or out of earshot.

Check in with yours. If anybody feels unsafe, we need to move people. Or, they need to go to ground. This is the beginning of the Gauntlet and a hell of an opening play.
( And now witches everywhere are in the crossfire. )
[He takes a deep breath, trying to figure out how to break down the little he knows in the most basic terms.]
The Gauntlet is a witch battle royale. There's this coven called the Colony, and they're throwing one to pick their new heirs. It's basically a free-for-all in terms of witches taking each other out in a big grab for power.

[That's not good.]
What were the casualties?
no subject
( Wynonna plants herself against the doorway, listening. )
The castle, Dolls.
no subject
[That's a big target. The fact that someone was able to get close enough to get it done is huge.]
What do you need?
[Because clearly the party is over and it's time to get back to work.]

Stay careful and stay vigilant.

If you need boots on the ground anywhere, let me know.

( Let him know. And will probably need boots on the ground.
"Me too," Wynonna says, throwing her hat in the ring. "I'm a girl with a gun, with no one to point a gun at. I'll help." )

[That being said, he has another thought as they pull away from Aalis's office and head back to the tables.]
We need to loop in your sister.

( Fuck. )
That is not cool and it's going to get a lot of innocents killed in their magical crossfire. Really, Dolls. Anything I can do.
no subject
[And then because he pays attention when Wynonna talks.]
Isn't Alice's roommate a witch?
no subject
( Why didn't she pry? )
Rebekah's also a witch. Doc's wife. And her sister, Freya. We got witches coming out of her ears. Shit, I need to also make some calls.
no subject
I'll go fill Waverly in. You make the calls you have to make.
